Every place, every space has its charm, its magic, but when you combine water with green spaces and animals on a walk through natural areas, it becomes even more special. Being close to them and enjoying that environment gives you new energy.
I always try to find new places for my walks, and even though I can't cover them all in a single day, it motivates me to go back again and again to discover new spaces. Here I have found natural places such as forest parks covering many hectares, but also other lesser-known sites that are also very large and worth exploring in every corner.
Far, far away, there is a beautiful lagoon with many paths and trails, some of them hidden, and discovering them can be a great adventure, an adventure I chose and that took me to a place under other paths where several birds gathered, not only pigeons but also ducks of various colors.
I tried to get closer and closer to them and to the water's edge. I didn't intend to touch them, but rather to observe them, watch their movements, how they ate, how they cleaned themselves, and above all, to watch them swim from a distance.
I am amazed by everything in nature, and by that I don't just mean the trees I always talk about, but also the animals. They are so wise, part of the natural environment, without malice, without ego, but simply what nature has made them.
On my walk, I spent a long time looking at the lagoon, the ducks, and the pigeons. There was a family there feeding them, and they came closer. I just stood there looking at their beauty. I didn't want to disturb them, and I got close enough to take pictures. They were always moving, choosing the pose they wanted to appear in.
The clouds were above me, making the lagoon look intensely blue, with beautiful reflections of those same clouds and the surroundings. But when I focused in other directions, the sun shining on them made everything look green. The sun, which is the planet's source of energy, makes the colors vary and be wonderful.
There was a kind of magic in the place, full of life between water, animals, and vegetation. I looked at the reflections on the water, both from the plants near it and from the buildings further away.
After spending a long time exploring this hidden space, which seemed like a refuge for beautiful birds, I walked along a path that I hoped would lead me to new views.
I looked up at the sky decorated with pine trees and other trees that seemed to want to reach them.
I also looked at flatter areas among the trees in the surrounding area.
Until the path took me a little higher and, peeking through the bushes, I could see more natural beauty. I always say that nature surprises me, and I think it's one of the few things that does, simply because it's amazing.
From that height, I could distinguish more colors on the water and more hazy clouds in their reflections. I wanted to capture it all.
Finally, after walking a little longer, the clouds dissipated a bit, and the colors of the landscape changed again.
It was a walk that allowed me to have the adventure of discovering new places, exploring, having incredible views, and being with animals, whose energy is always good.
I think the magic of the lagoon made this walk just that: magical and beautiful.
Thank you very much for joining me on this Wednesday walk. I send you my best regards. See you soon.
