Contrasts

Since it is Sunday it is easy to relate that day with the word sublime; probably because of this community. ;)

For the past few years, my Sunday mornings have been spent working. Oh, but don't worry, it is not boring or hard physical work. Working for me those days means playing the piano, so it is also something nice and beautiful; I could also call it sublime. However, the part of the day when the sublime moment comes in its truest form is when we take a nice walk in nature. 🍀

It may sometimes feel repetitive since we often choose the same paths... along the seashore, or along the river, but there is always something new to see. For example, how much some of the trees have grown. So tall, that I don't remember these as giants.

The angle from which you look at something also gives the landscape a different vibe. Almost from the same place, but looking towards the mountains, the darker clouds indicated the possibility of rain. This is a complete contrast to the first, sunny image. Nothing happened in the end, we didn't need an umbrella or shelter from rain. We just need shelter to protect ourselves from our own words and actions sometimes - that is how we are, humans.

Back to nature 🌱 - the vegetation around the river is so dense that one cannot even approach the water. A paradise for birds and other small animals and insects.

The blackberries joined this walk too offering this colourful spectacle. No, they are not always the same either. A negative point goes to me for not showing how some of the darker ones disappeared. 😁

After the river, we passed through a part of the town called Sogay. This part is a little separated from the urban part of the city, that's why it's quieter in a way, although the proximity of the highway brings constant background noise.

The flowers don't mind the noise, of course. They are not as picky as us humans who are bothered by everything. If we could read their minds, maybe we would see how they consider this whole world gorgeous, so they bring their own colours and elegance to radiate the same grace.

Horses. They perfectly fit the word sublime in this post. 🐴

The green pine trees also fit it, but this year there have been some disturbing things in this whole area. Many of these huge, green pines have dried up.

The lack of rain and the extremely high temperatures caused this problem so now the area faces the problem of dried-up trees. Actually, there are zones where whole hills are full of these brown, dead trees. 😔

It is sad to see and conclude this post with this picture, although it can also be a sign, a warning for us. It is also a reminder that life is full of contrasting elements that may be considered sublime or in other cases quite the opposite, but such is life.

Jasmine and azaleas, two beautiful flowers! I love flowers, I had a lot of them and I even knew their scientific names, a person I loved very much taught me about nature.

The horses.... sublime total!!!

I love to explore, I would get into the thick vegetation to see what there is.... sure mosquitoes hahahaha

Beautiful grooming!!! I love it!💗

Definitely mosquitoes, and maybe some frogs. I should not think about horseflies because they make my leg swollen so no exploration there if the vegetation is that dense ;D

Don't even get me started on that kind of insect, today on my outing and walk, there were so many wasps!

You have many sublime things on Sundays, music coming from your hands, meeting Buddha, walking in that beautiful place of mountain, river and sea... death is not something definitive. It implies a rebirth and that is also sublime.
You are so special. A hug and have a great week, mipiano.

Every day can bring some sublime things if we are looking for them, right? ;) The dried-up trees are sad to see (as there are many) but they of course teach a lesson too. Thank you, and a great and healthy week to you too 🍀

Thank you, I'm almost ready. I have done some intense mental reprogramming to get the illness out of my body so I can get back to my bike rides, among other things. 🙃

I always love to walk, with your help in this edge of town that probably resembles the Spanish countryside. I love the white picket fences and the flowers, of course.
These blue flowers, plumbago, I have a small bush at home. It doesn't really like the climate, dies every winter and comes up in the spring.

Something strange happens with the fir and pine trees in Bucharest, just like at your place, they dry up and die. I don't know the cause.

Thank you, @mipiano!

Oh, so the same happens there. 😒
A biologist, the brother of one of my acquaintances explained that it was the lack of rain during the whole year and extreme temperatures but the solution is not just planting new pine trees now, but other trees that are more resistant... The consequences of these dried trees are not just an aesthetic thing but fewer trees mean more heat, and more erosion of the soil.

Do you have the plumbago flower planted in the garden or in a pot? I am wondering if I could have it in a pot and if it would grow nicely in the balcony...🤔

I was thinking the same thing, that the heat and pollution of the city is killing the pines. I have plumbago in my garden for three years already but it doesn't grow as well as you at, in Spain, because every winter the branches die because of the cold, but in spring new ones sprout and grow and bloom until the following fall. I am convinced it lives very well in a pot on the balcony. I have seen plumbago in big pots that they probably put in the house in winter.
