You Asked For it! 🌦🐌🌧🐶 .:. (Un)Expected Rain Walk

It was a week ago, in the comment section of my #WednesdayWalk post, or maybe in someone else's post, but I remember very well that I said that I don't like rain, but it would be fun to take one walk in the rain... To be honest, I didn't plan deliberately to take a walk in the rain, but it happened spontaneously and I got one... 😃

01.jpg

When I stepped outside my home, it was cloudy, but that doesn't mean a lot in my area as it is often cloudy, but it doesn't rain in the end... So, I ignored that sign completely... Also, I didn't plan to take photos during the walk but rather focus my mind on some other stuff (read HIVE 😂)...

02.jpg

For that reason, I skipped taking my mobile phone for almost half of the walk, which was in total around 5-6 kilometers... But, when I saw these cuties, I had to take a photo, or two... Unfortunately, in those moments it was getting dark and the clouds very more intense, so the photos weren't as good as I would have liked...

03.jpg

I passed by that road many times, but I have never seen these sheep at this plot, so I suppose that it was recently sold as before, it was abandoned... I suppose that the new owner had an awesome idea to leave these guys to clean up the plot for him! Brilliant!

04.jpg

05.jpg

Not too far away from them, there is another plot, or better said ranch, where breed horses... There is this guy, his two horse friends, and a donkey on the whole plot... And the area is huge and they have a lot of space to have fun and eat juicy grass! I made more photos, but only this one was decent to share with you... (lack of light)

06.jpg

Speaking of light, I don't have to explain the thing with lack of light, you can see it for yourself... These clouds were coming right on me, and I was going in their direction!

07.jpg

08.jpg

And these two photos show from where I come... Obviously, I picked the wrong direction... 😅

09.jpg

10.jpg

But, OK... It wasn't raining... yet... everything is okay...

11.jpg

12.jpg

But, it WAS raining a few hours ago as there were raindrops on flowers and on everything else that I was photographing...

13.jpg

14.jpg

The rain is closer and closer...

15.jpg

While I was trying to catch the "right angle" to "find" the best colors on these oranges, a girl with a big golden retriever was coming in my direction... As the dog was bigger than the girl, he came directly to me asking for petting... 😃 It's funny, but every time I see a golden retriever, I have in mind this video...

Ignore the language, you will get the point... 🤣

16.jpg

17.jpg

Let's continue our walk... When I was at 15-20 minutes to my finish point, it began to rain... Oh, I forgot to say that I had an umbrella despite the "anti-rain weather" in this area, I took it for "just in case"... Well, there was a case... lol...

18.jpg

While I was walking, I noticed that I was stepping on something like empty nuts shells, or something similar... and then I stopped to take a closer look...

19.jpg

Darn! Those were snails that had been waiting for this rain for ages, just to be able to cross the hot asphalt road!!! Imagine being a snail and you have to cross the road while it is like 50 Degrees Celsius!! No way! I remember when I went fishing on a hot day and saw a snake coming out of the water, trying to hide in the bushes, but she didn't make it as she had to go over very, very hot stones...

20.jpg

It was the same for these poor creatures, but with rain, they had a chance! As the road doesn't have too much traffic, probably hundreds of them made it... Unfortunately, not those few that I accidentally stepped over... 😞

21.jpg

Again, sorry about the image quality, I had to juggle with the phone in one hand, umbrella in the other, and trying to stay dry as much as possible... But, I asked for a rain walk, and I got it!!! Can't complain!

Thank you for your time! 🌦🐌🌧🐶

A rain walk is always fun(at least with me) but come to think of it it’s been a while I tried that.
I love golden retrievers and it’s probably one I’d want when I have kids at home, I heard they are coolest with kids.

Nice walk man, have a nice evening.

I didn't see any other dog being so kind and cure... I don't know if they even bark! 😂🤣 They are so clumsy... 🤣

omg that big pup, it had me in stitches. That was so cool Zoltan and a great walk by the way too. Time of the year for rainy walks here too now, although not sure if we will have too many snails crossing the road.

Sometimes one doesn’t want to take photos… until you come across something you just have to capture… hehehe
You sure got the rain 🌧️
The snails do tend to cross the asphalt when it rains… 🐌🐌🐌 maybe because there are no birds out and about. As I see them do that here too, and it isn’t hot weather. But when it rains they come out and cross the roads… funny actually.
Have a nice evening 👋🏻😊

Wow! I didn't think about that!! Maybe your theory is right! Btw. I saw snails climbing on the metal fence and then they just die there... Give me a theory for that... 😃

Have a great evening, you too!

It might be 😋

Never seen that, snails going on the metal fence and die… I know they climb up to hibernate and sleep for months. 😴😴😴
Maybe the metal reacts badly to their slime and poisons them? No idea… could be… what do you think?

Good afternoon to you 👋🏻😊

I had somewhere a collection of photos of snails climbing and dying... Maybe they tried the hibernation, but didn't expect so hot weather, so they got burnt...

Safe travels!

I knew that I had published somewhere the photo and found it on my FB page! :)

In this photo, they are not directly on the metal fence, but I have somewhere else where they are... this is just an example... 😃

I fly back Thursday from this trip… but I go on holidays the 5th… finally a break… I need it hahaha 🤣
I will be on the other side of the world. So sadly not… maybe next time.
Thanks a lot.

Those snails on the grasses look like hibernating. They go and gather together like that.
Maybe the fence was indeed to hot from your other finds.
Cool to see though.
I have photos of snails in bushes from southern Spain too so I recall…

what a cool walk those clouds sure are moody and ominous

I have never thought about snails crossing asphalt in the heat, but they must love the rain to make it easier for them

Thanks for joining the Wednesday Walk :)

Neither do I... That's why I step on a few... 😞

Actually, I took this walk yesterday, and today we had another hot day, so I hit the beach... :) It's not as hot as in summer and it's a great time for a beach...😃

These are indeed excellent settings to go for a walk for a while. I think what surprised me most were the photographs of the snail, not many people pay attention to them and they are interesting animals... It is good to surround yourself with nature eventually, while I was looking at the photos and reading you I imagined the sound in that place and it brings me peace, since this week there have been few moments of silence for me... Excellent post my friend! ✌️

It was remarkably peaceful when I stepped outside... I didn't even hear birds chirping... That was probably the sign that the rain would come, but I didn't connect the dots... 😂 But, I don't regret it, it was a great walk!
Thanks for your kind words!

To be honest, I have never seen a trained golden retriever... hahahaha... All were like that one in the video... 🤣

Glad that you liked the photos... It was a bit too late to take photos, but they weren't too bad...

When it rains it's so light and when people are walking they feel more relaxed seeing the natural scenery as we can see in the pictures animals are also enjoying this weather a lot.

I admire the clear skies on your photos. Meanwhile here in metro Manila we are having thick vog(volcanic smog) and air quality has been very poor.

Huh... A few days ago we had a lot of dust in the air because of high humidity and the air quality was very, very bad... It's better to stay at home at those times... I hope it will clean out and you will be able to enjoy fresh air!
