Morning workout macro exercise

Hi people,
I'm in town, at home, not even near my cabin.
So I decided to do the Wednesday walk in the park where I workout.
I'm actually having some issues with the @actifit app so I'm not tracking the work with it anymore but everyday I studied the park details last week in order to create the right series of pictures for you.
I do my workout near some kid's playing tools, jumping my rope with some cardio variations for at least half an hour each morning.

The pine trees near the fountain smell very good because their branches are full of pine cones.

If you squeeze the pine cones you get some dense and scented resin to run out, I practiced with the pine cones a lot with the macro lens, then took a few details of the bark texture.

There are also some flowers already blooming near there, and a medical plant that is the most similar to a succulent that we have in Italy, we call it "Cardo" a good step up for my macro practice!

Sadly the park is very dirty, as almost all urban periphery parks I know, this is the point where I get into the park from my home, the graffiti art is by a well known artist in my country...

Last but not least, when I was very young I loved stones, they tell you so much about the place they are into... This stone is so round because it has been in a river, probably for centuries and the white stripe in the middle is a dirty calcium crystal sediment that we have in our mountains, once they were under the sea, that's where this sediment has come from!

If you liked this little Wednesday exploration please leave a comment ! While wandering around the park I did clean it as much as I could, and I hope each day to be able to do something for it to be 1% cleaner...
