Sunday Outing In The Woods (Hera On The "Path Of Love")

in #ruthphotostories7 years ago (edited)

What a day that was!

A sunny Sunday began and my sister came for some morning coffee on the balcony. The weather was way too good not to take advantage of it, so @trumpman, my sister and Hera got in the car and drove for a village up in the mountains. A friend had told us about a beautiful path in the woods called the "Path of Love", so we had to explore it.

Once we reached the village, @trumpman asked a local man for directions and he once he showed us which way to go he told us that their grandparents would have this place as a meeting point for their romantic rendez-vous years and years ago.

With Hera on her leash around her neck and my Nikon on its strap around my neck we set off on a stroll in the woods where winter and spring were meeting.

The ever green moss was decorating trees and stones...

Would you like to have some water, stranger?

The path is long, sit down and rest if you feel like it.

Can you hear that? It's the stream. The waters are running, in a hurry to meet with the sea.

We're surrounded by trees!

Are they attacking us?

Or are they just here to protect us?

And safely around us they gather

A warm embrace, just like a mother

What is Hera looking for? Pixies and trolls and fairies and elves?

Her nose in the snow, sniffing in and breathing out

I'm sure the fairies live here! I'll surely dig them out!!

I mean, if they don't live in this magical place, where else would they live?

It was a lovely and tiring day today. We had fun, we walked, we got high on natural beauty and definitely recharged those low batteries. A new week is beginning in a few hours, but weeks go by more easily when you have your people and the next weekend with them to hope for!

Wishing you all a lovely week!

Tell me the truth: Are there thorn bushes on the Path of Love?

I found only one thorn bush, but to tell you the truth I saw lots of horse shit along the way 😝

Όμορφη απόδραση μέσα στη φύση !!! Και πολύ καλό για τη σκυλίτσα σας !!! Καλημέρα και καλή βδομάδα !!!

Ήταν ακριβώς αυτό που χρειαζόμασταν για να ξεκουραστεί το μυαλό μας από το στρες! Καλή μας εβδομάδα!! 😇☕

Those two trees are super-magical

And these are not the only ones. Most of them looked like figures. You could see dancing ballerinas, wrinkled old ladies, weird and dark creatures luring in the heart of the forest...

Perfect, unless it's midnight. With the fool Moon in the skies.

Like you!

Haha you can make a romantic place feel like something-aweful-is-going-to-happen-next. Maybe I read too many of your stories :D I love it!

Ahahaha! I can't help it, the place looked kind of magical and scary at the same time. The vibes I was getting felt weird and creepy.

That looks lovely. The dog can not run free?

We were afraid to let her free in an unfamiliar space in case she runs away and gets lost. She is still too young to find her way back, only four months old.

By the way, have you tried whaleshares.io? It works pretty much like Steemit. 😀

4 months that's a puppy... She looks so cute

The whales hares.io... I will have a look.. Lest see.. I'll give it a try.. Iam up for new things right now. Facebook and Instagram are so getting on my nerves

Your work is amazing, you deserve the exposure and support.

I think you will find plenty of photographers to like and contests to join on whaleshares.io
All you need is some time to explore the platform, interact with some people you will find interesting and just have fun!

Nice ride and excellent pictures! Interesting about the route of love, especially if it goes well accompanied!

Thank you! I believe in spring and summer it gets more romantic with the right partner to walk by you ♥️

Nice story and photos.

Thank you!
