39.- Walking under the full moon


This saturday has been the day of the year that the moon has been bigger (30% more) and brighter (14% more).

It has been a perfect night to walk 10 Km and having dinner (a sandwitch and a  little of wine from a wineskin) at the mountain. Once the moon was up and the eyes used to the darkness the skyline was awesome.

Is incredible to see your own shadow at night with the moon light.

The temperature was quite nice. We only needed a jacket when we were having dinner.

And silence... None noise from cars, highways, ... only some nocturnal birds ready to hunt some rodent.

Beautiful night, beautiful day... beautiful life is in the simple things!

37.- Beautiful spring afternoon



This picture was taken yesterday afternoon in a field near home after a short walk. Is nice to appreciate the different green tonalities: the light green of the threes, the dark green of the wheat, the sky clean and blue without any cloud and the sun near to sunset.

Feelings, sensations, wellness, breathing deep... only some instants to appreciate life and conclude that being here worth.

Have a good spring!

36.- Collecting strawberries


These are the first strawberries of the season.

The firsts are always special, because after fertilizing the soil, after watering and removing bad plants, after visiting and talking with them every day, finally you get the desired red and sweet fruit.

Usually, the firsts are not so big, but they have a good color and smell.

Looking at the garden, this year is promising because all the strawberries plants are in flower waiting for an insect to pollinate them. Now, strawberries need sun, water and love!

The land is really grateful, because if you care, it gives you the fruits of your effort. 

Plants never lies. You need to give them what they need.  If you see a withered plant, you can water it and after some time it will come vigorously again.

Plants are a good example of what caring personal relations mean. For me, looking at the garden is a good source of inspiration to find energy and explanations to care personal relations. And you?
