Win some, loose some

It was only yesterday that I was telling that I don't have to be in a meadow to feel the coming of spring, which is true, but in a meadow, surrounded by wild flowers, it is much easier!

And much more pleasant, I might add :)

Following the good weather and the smell of spring, I got out of the town for a short but refreshing walk in nature. The good thing with small towns is that the distance from the town centre to the countryside, is just a few minutes and you can easily enjoy nature even in a small break during your daily routine!

If you know me a little by now, you should have understand that half of my joy when I do something beautiful is to take pictures of it too! And this day was no exception. My trustworthy camera was in my hand, capturing all the beauty that I was witnessing! And although I didn't have my macro lens with me, I think I made it quite all right. The irony is that I had all my lenses except the macro that I took out of the bag the last minute, figuring that I won't need it and I could just leave it behind to lighten the camera bag a bit :)

The poppies are a lovely addition to the repertoire of nature around me. The last nine years I was living in a place with no poppies which seem to be abundant here. On the other hand I was used to have plenty of winter anemones around that can't be found in my new place.

I guess that's how it goes, win some, loose some :)

What I haven't told you so far is that the actual purpose of that walk wasn't to enjoy flowers but something completely different. The flowers were a charming side-effect, so charming that they gained a post for themselves! As for the true reason that I left town this beautiful morning, you'll have to wait till my next post :)
