#1204 - Yellow Trail of Camp John Hay Park for Tuesday Shots.

Greetings dearest wonderful Hive family everywhere and a pleasant Tuesday to you all😊! I hope the day is treating you kindly so far. Let us also take a moment to appreciate the small victories we have today. Wishing everyone a smooth and uplifting Tuesday. Stay positive and let's make it a great one😊!

Moving now to our daily shots one morning with my wife and I at the Yellow Trail inside Camp John Hay in Baguio City. The sky was gloomy overcast, wrapped in thick clouds. The cloudy weather was perfect for our plans. We came to the trail to simply escape the Metropolitan city noise and breathe in Baguio's famous fresh pine air.

At the start of the path, we were already being enveloped by nature. Pine trees were everywhere, lining both sides of the trail and towering high above our heads like giants. The ground was covered by fallen pine needles and every breath we took felt clean. The scent of the forest was intoxicating and stress relieving, we love forest bathing this way.

We intended to do a proper jog around the loop. However, we realized that the trail was occupied by a trail run event taking place that morning! It was quite a sight. Runners in gear and colorful bibs were zooming past us and were seriously taking the race.

My wife and I happily stepped off to the side of the path whenever we heard the thumping of approaching footsteps. We would let the athletes pass by, sometimes giving them cheer.

Because the path was a racecourse at the moment, our jogging session became a brisk walk. But we didn't mind at all. The atmosphere was still fantastic. So my wife and I took our sweet time. We used the opportunity to take pictures of the beautiful scenery that also included us haha.

In the end, we completed the entire Yellow Trail loop in about thirty minutes. We had barely broken a sweat because it was mostly walking and posing for the camera but we felt rejuvenated. Our lungs were full of pine scented mountain air and we left the trail with huge smiles.
