I always say that novelties and surprises are what I like most about my walks, admiring beauty and being able to marvel at it. Art and nature are the two things that do the most for me.
It looked like a Christmas walk in a place specially prepared for it, with what one expects for that kind of theme.
One anticipates in one's mind that Christmas is all about lights, craft stalls, flea markets, multiple decorations, trees everywhere, the colour red and green everywhere and even a beautiful carousel for the children. Well actually I would have loved to go to the carousel, even though I am over forty years old. It must be the little girl in me.
What I'm getting at is that one associates the holidays and above all Christmas with that kind of thing, also with sweets, presents and even fantasy characters, people dressed up as Father Christmas, and I've even seen a person dressed up as the Grinch.
But above all one associates Christmas with colour and lights, everything is joy and glitter, decorations varied and beautiful, original and every year changing, but still decorations.
But when in the middle of what one takes for granted, something surprising appears, it is the most beautiful thing, because in the middle of what seemed to be a Christmas park full of red, a blue, light blue and white area appeared.
Finding a forest of owls at Christmas is something very strange but I loved it, mainly because I love owls. My third or maybe fourth favourite animal.
It consisted of a gigantic glass window with a very different world from the one outside. Snow and cold winter colours reigned there.
Snowy trees, snowy ground, and dozens of owls on the scene, on the trees and playing in the snow. They were adorable and the children with their parents looked out to see how in the trees with a hollow the owls appeared and disappeared as if they were dancing to sweet music.
And it was funny to look at their little faces, they all looked as if they were watching the Christmas market and the people strolling and shopping.
Their big eyes were so cute, that I would have liked to have one of them and take it home with me. You could tell that the owls were cold because many of them were wearing hats and scarves.
What I liked the most is the reindeer or deer with the owls on their horns posed and arranged as if to be in an artistic photograph. Is this the picture? I don't know, but it's the part I liked the most.
The theme they have chosen for this novelty was very much to my liking and, from what I saw, also to the liking of the children who were passing by. Many adults also like these adorable little animals. Isn't it true?
When life surprises pleasantly it is beautiful and to turn around and see this beauty has been beautiful, to enjoy the little big things in life is the most important thing.
Thank you all for joining me. I wish you all a very good Sunday. See you soon.
