Taking a walk in nature - Actifit report: May 8 2020

Hi!

Yesterday morning, like other times that I'm in the village, I took a walk toward the mountains. Most of time, mountains are the ultimate goal (better say checkpoint), but rarely I go that far. The point is walking for about an hour in nature, not reaching every checkpoint.

The first thing that caught my eye was this old tree trunk. It's no secret that I love trees. I always wanted to hear what they had to say, all the stories from decades and centuries ago.

I was less than 100 meter away from the home, so it was time to look at the road ahead and continue walking.

One of the problems of this walk was that I was thinking too much about taking nice shots and reaching 5k steps on actifit. Not that I took the walk for that purpose, but I was thinking about it.

I didn't fail at taking nice shots, but I didn't take some super satisfying shots either.

I encountered different type of flowers and having in mind that I was walking in a desert, it was amazing. Yellow, orange, violet, wasn't expecting that really.

Usually, all I get to see is some kind of thorn. Not that they're not beautiful, honestly I like them an I am amazed by their geometry and shape, but we normally tend to overlook the usual and expected.

Like this nice blue sky, we tend to look at it and whisper: just if it has some dramatic clouds, then I could've taken an amazing shot.

The most amazing thing in this walk, was this flower. The flower had an attractive yellow color, but the leaves had the same color as the surrounding. It took me a few seconds to spot the leaves. It was amazing to me because of three thing, first that attractive yellow color, second because of how the leaves were camouflaged and third because of the paradox between the first two. Why the flower was seeking attention while the leaves were trying to hide?

And yet another flower.

Then it was time for a selfie with beautiful nature.

At this point, I turned to go back home, but to keep the walk interesting, I didn't go back the way I came.

On the way back home, I found this house.

Do ants live here or some other kind of creature?

A wider shot to get a general idea of its size.

As I was walking on the top of the hill, the village was visible. They use this stone set-up to set boundries.

From that point, I chose a straight line toward my home and started walking. Because of all the ups and downs, the straight line is not the fastest or the easiest way, so I had to take detours some time.

All these visual interest also helped my mind, even thought part of my mind was thinking of taking another good shot for this post, but because of the vastness and peacefulness of nature, it helped me clear my mind and go through my day with more energy.
