Entry for Shadow Contest/SMASh - Round 369

Hello friends and community, I hope you're having a wonderful day full of joy. Of course, I didn't want to miss the opportunity to participate this time, so here are the photos I want to share with you.

Hola amigos y comunidad, espero que estén teniendo un lindo día lleno de alegrías. Por supuesto que no quería dejar de participar en esta ocasión, así que aquí están las fotos que quiero compartir con ustedes.

Without a doubt, nature always finds a way, even over human activity. Last week and earlier this week, I took small trips in search of plants for a garden. If you read my post about bougainvilleas, I already gave you a little preview. When everything is ready, there will be more photos—though I want to wait for the results first.

Sin duda, la naturaleza siempre se abre paso, incluso sobre la actividad humana. La semana pasada y a principios de esta, hice pequeños viajes en busca de plantas para un jardín. Si leyeron mi post sobre las buganvilias, ya les adelanté un poco. Cuando todo esté listo, habrá más fotos, aunque quiero esperar por los resultados primero.

I kept these pictures because I really liked seeing the vine pushing its way through the rubble and rusty metal scraps—a reminder of nature’s transformative power and, at the same time, of the fleeting nature of our existence and creations.

Guardé estas fotos porque me gustó mucho ver la enredadera abriéndose paso entre los escombros y los pedazos de metal oxidados, un recordatorio de la fuerza transformadora de la naturaleza y, a la vez, de lo efímero de nuestra existencia y nuestras creaciones.

The shadows cast were very strong, especially due to the time of day. I think around 1 p.m. is the best time to take shadow photos—what do you think about that?

Las sombras proyectadas fueron muy sólidas, sobre todo por la hora del día. Creo que alrededor de la 1 p. m. es el mejor momento para tomar fotos de sombras, ¿qué opinan sobre eso?

Well friends, I don’t want to take up more of your time. I hope you enjoy the pictures, and I would love to read your thoughts in the comments. A big greeting and until the next entry! I’ll be leaving some love on your posts! Goodbye!

Bueno amigos, para no quitarles más tiempo, espero que disfruten las fotos y me encantaría leer sus opiniones en los comentarios. ¡Un gran saludo y hasta la próxima entrada! ¡Estaré dejando un poco de cariño en sus posts! ¡Chau!
