My first stumble I had come across was like a picture of Heaven.
Sunsets are always relaxing to look at, but this particular one has something that draws you to it. It could be that it has an amazing view of the beach. Or perhaps the feeling that you are the only one for miles? Either way, the picture is absolutely breath taking. It reminds me of back home in Florida when I would spend spring break at the beach and pick the highest point I could get to on the highest building just to watch the sunset. As if nobody was around and I was the only being left on the planet, it felt like I could be anywhere or do anything. I wonder if the person who took this picture felt the same, or if they had any similar feelings for that matter. I wonder if they felt like they too had seen a piece of Heaven...

Optical illusions are always fun to look at because they have a weird way of playing games with your mind. Often you have to have a twisted sense to get some of these illusions. In this illusion I stumbled upon, there is two sides to the concept. When you first look at the picture, you will either see nine dolphins swimming. Or you will see a couple in an "intimmate" position. It explains that young children do not see the intimate couple because they have not been exposed to such posture. I have a thought on this comment. Even though the child might not have experienced this posture, might they see the couples image if they have seen the intimate position before?

This was a very neat stumble because it allows you to create your own flower. I know it sounds amazing right? I think it is a great idea because just like people, every flower is different. People can go to this website and create a flower according to the mood they are in or one for every person they are thinking about. It can be used as a theraputic tool to express emotions people feel and can be used everyday over and over again.
