White Coneflowers (Echinacea)
August 7, 2008 | Filed Under Colors, Coneflowers (Echinacea), Flowers, Parks, Riverside Park, White
This Monday, I was feeling so good that I thought I was well enough to go out and exercise. Never mind that the week before, I’d tried to do the same thing and only made it as far as 2 blocks, when I was forced to return home in pain. Never mind that my doctor told me that it was too soon to do that and I’ll have to wait 6 to 8 weeks before doing anything like that. Yeah, yeah, I know I’m supposed to listen to the doctor but I was feeling good, I tell you. I was feeling much better than the week before. So I thought it would be okay to go walking and have a chance to take some new photos.
Well, it was a BIG mistake because it turns out that I overdid it. Unlike the first time, I walked a bit further than the two blocks but I still didn’t get far. After a while, I had to turn around and go back home. I was in pain and not feeling so good. It has taken the rest of the week to start to feel better.
Okay, so I’ve learned my lesson — twice. I’m taking it easy, I really am taking it easy.
In the meantime, here is one of the photos I took on my walk, towards Riverside Park, before I had to turn around. I find myself liking this flower more and more. After I posted the purple version of this flower yesterday, I learned from you, dear readers, that it’s called a Coneflower (Echinacea). Thank you. I like to learn new things from y’all. 
Out of the three photos, I couldn’t figure out which photo to post. I like them all, so I posted them all. Which one do you like? Do you have a preference?
Have a good Friday!
Paz
Ed. Note: Thanks everyone, again, for your concern about my health and recovery. I promise, I’m going to take it easy. I AM taking it easy. Right now I’m watching the Opening Ceremony of the Olympics.

BEAUTIFUL flower photos! I don’t think I have ever seen a white one before….gorgeous!
Take it easy now!
Hi PAz,
I am sorry you have not been well….
I choose the top one, the one you chose…I think it looks like it has a personality…
Thanks for visiting me too..

I hope you follow the doctor’s orders now! It’s hard when you feel good at home to just be laying around and resting. I hear this all the time from employees off on a leave of absence, and then they try to do something like you did and take even longer to heal. Okay…enough lecturing…sorry about that.
I like the first and second photos the best. Seriously, take care of yourself!
Paz, it’s hard to listen to your doctor, especially when you start to feel good. I know. Just take it slow and easy, it’ll save you some time in the long run. I love all three pictures!
Naughty Paz, you MUST listen to the doctor. We need you to be healthy! I love the first photo. One of your best, I think!
You’re not really feeling good, you’re just getting better at ignoring the bad feelings. Keep telling yourself this and maybe it’ll help.
The middle picture.
Hi Paz! 2008.08.08 is a very special day for Blogtrotter. So, before I start commemorating, let me just tell you how much I appreciate your comments on my blogs! Thanks a lot!
Follow your doctor’s advice!!
Have a great day and a wonderful weekend!
Oh, Paz…So sorry you’ve been doing not so good…It’s so tempting to over-do and try to get back on track, get back to normal…But glad you are taking advice and slowing down! ;o) Be taking good care…And thank you for all the wonderful Echinacea photos…the more the merrier, as these are such happy flowers! Happy weekend ((HUGS))
wow.. i agree with Mari… it’s indeed one of your best picture to date.. Take it easy and get some rest. Sending good vibes your way!
And do have a great weekend, k!! now, I’m at home watching Beijing Olympics opening ceremony while reading blogs!!! hahahha
I like the first photo, it reminds me of my dogs cute face looking up at me when her ears are down. I know, weird comparison, but that’s what I thought of.
thanks Paz, & feel better soon.
I like the first picture.
My best wishes for your health, Paz.
Hi Paz….I’m glad you finally decided to REALLY take it easy! So be sure to follow your own advice for a couple weeks at least….
Thanks for telling me what this flower is…I’ve always been attracted to that shape, with the petals dropping down to gracefully all around the edge like that. That’s why I like the first photo best; it shows off the lovely shape so clearly. And I love the white/orange combination too.
Thanks, Melinda: I will take it easy.
Thanks, Julia Rose: I like your description of the first flower having a personality.
LOL! Thanks Melissa: I deserve the lecture.
I’m glad to know which photo you like.
Hi Sandra: I will take it easy. Thanks for letting me know your thoughts on the flower photos, too.
Thanks Mari! I’m listening, I’m listening!
LOL! Hi DaviMack: Ahh! The middle huh? Thanks for letting me know.
Thanks, Gil: I plan on stopping by.
Thanks, Tracy!
Thanks Drama Diva: I’m watching the ceremony, hours later.
Hi Lily: You must have the cutest dog, ever. I was watching the Dog Whisperer early today. Always enjoy that show and always see some really cute dogs.
Thanks very much, Pietro!
Hi Sara: Yes, I’ll be taking it easy for sure.
Thanks for letting me know which photo you like best.
Thanks, everyone!

Sorry to hear you had pain by overdoing your walk, Paz! Glad to read that you’re feeling better now and resting.
Hi Paz, all 3 are beautiful but I like the first one best. I’ve never seen a white coneflower. Please take it easy!!
