In the forest

Hello fellow cyclists,

I've missed posting in this community. 😉

Today I took a lovely walk through the Monte Barreto Forest in Playa municipality, and of course, I got here by bike.

This is happening right now. I'm right here writing this post... as @bluemoon suggested one day, we can do this too: capture the good vibes instantly and share them.

Right now, I'm also watching many children running around and playing near me, because it seems like they've held an activity for them at the ranch I'm looking at. In fact, when I arrived here, there was an entertainer, and I could hear him on the microphone leading the participation games. It seemed fun and made me smile several times.

We're on summer vacation! And it's always noticeable in many places... By the way, what a great place to enjoy in so many ways... Wait, let me tell you.

When I got here, I went into the forest and started walking along some trails I saw...very carefully, of course. It feels very cool; the vegetation is so dense that the shade and the moisture the ground retains after perhaps a few scattered showers these days are the perfect refuge from the high temperatures of this everlasting summer we have in Cuba.

I wasn't alone. I was accompanied by many birds and butterflies, and the humility of all those trees that invited me to hug them. 😃 I hugged a few, but it didn't occur to me to take a selfie like the one at the beginning of this post.

I soon discovered that other creatures also accompanied me along the way.

Wait, hahaha... so I laid the bike down so I could take the photos that come next.

They are the guardians of the park, and right now I have no idea who sculpted them.

I just know that I'm deeply captivated by finding beauty, and I find this beautiful, even the graffiti someone put there.

Meow! A loving thought goes out to you, my beloved Yin, and an imaginary caress (I can recreate it just by closing my eyes) on your soft fur. I wish you happiness wherever you are right now.

This guard was shot down... I paid homage to him. I almost sat down there in that hollow that looked like a bench... but no. I continued on my way when I heard a very peculiar sound in the distance.

Let me lean the bike here to take the photo, I told myself.

Of course I asked his permission for this and we talked for a while, although very little, since he was practicing and I didn't want to bother him too much.

You see, there are so many things you can do here... musicians rehearse (they can offer concerts), Hivers meetings, return to innocence, photography projects, creative writing contests on-site, hahaha... and bird watching. There are many, believe me.

And well... I'm sure I'll stick with something else. Suggest some activities... let's see how creative you are. Yoga, conscious breathing... enjoying a fresh, natural environment...picnic time!

😅 And I think since I've regained my center today, I'm going to get a malt or ice cream and a sandwich. My stomach is already growling.
