My memories close to nature | QOTW 10.5

I have always loved nature even when I live in the city, many of the good memories I have with my father were away from the city, outdoors and watching sunsets and sunrises.

I remember everything as if it was yesterday even when I was just a kid, the best vacation of my life, although my parents were separated I remember that week, my father came for me and took me to meet his family, my uncles and cousins that I did not know, my father was a fisherman but had moved to the city, but in those days he decided to take me to know a little of his roots.

A trip of about two hours, straight to a private beach that belonged to my uncles and grandparents, very big I remember, there was a small house a few meters from the lake, I remember the first night there, all my uncles celebrating with my father and having a few beers around an improvised bonfire, my father showing me how they fished at night under the moonlight with nets that they left inside the lake to collect them in the morning.

I also remember a wonderful sunrise, watching the sun rise on the horizon, just after my father would lift me out of the hammock to take me to as he said, the gift that the tide gives us when it goes out, collect the fish that were stuck in the dunes and with them I prepare a delicious breakfast, I think my roots are still alive because I love fish at any time.

I guess these memories are so alive in me, since they were the last vacations we could share, since then he got cancer in his lungs and had to leave, after that I did not visit my family again on his side, it has been more than 20 years and I have all those memories intact in my brain and although I do not know exactly the place, the beach or where it was, I know that later when my little girl grows up I will try to relive those moments but now me as a father.

It was good to have these memories, they were and are valuable to me, thanks to those moments lived I think I love when I am away from the city, in nature, breathing fresh and clean air, listening to the birds or the simple sound of the wind, this has led me to think in some moments to get older and be able to move to the countryside, maybe live off the land and enjoy my last years of life in peace and tranquility.

All the images were taken by me, and belong to my memories of the moments where I have been away from the city.

Without further ado I say goodbye friends, until next time.
