My Monday walk: Nothing so special

I happened to go on a light hike/walk today, which resulted in my first ever contribution to Jo’s Monday walk. Usually I go on hikes/walks on weekends and record them in my weekend posts. The weather and heavy brainstormming at work persued me to use my office training time for a short hike.

Going up and up!

I like walking in natural surroundings

Still going up

I love this corner

Still up and more in woods

One does not feel tired in such surroundings

Light and shade

Blueberries

Very near to destination

It is obligatory to take at least one picture from the top. Do you see a big cruise ship?

Wild lovely bluebell flowers cheering us

Time to go back to office

Time to say adios

Thank you for joing me on the journey 😀

After going back to office I continued my work for an hour or so.

Weekend Special 41: Guilt-free

It was cloudy and raining on and off until yesterday. We decided to go for hiking in the morning as the skies were clear and temperature around 13 C. We had around 3 hours in hand of which we used 2:15.

A beautiful river. The near by glacier supplies non-stop water.

Walking into dense woods.

Wild plum trees along the road.

An abandoned barn.

Dried wild flowers. Nature is getting ready for Winter.

Looking back.

As I mentioned in my earlier post,  I donot have my camera with me and pictures were taken with Samsung s3. We covered distance of 8 km and walked upto height of 450 m above sea level. In the last leg the inclination was 12 %. We were tired but not exhausted. ( In last three days we have walked around 20 km 🙂 ).

Note: I forgot to take pictures of the many cattle grids we had to cross. I wonder if they work for sheeps! Has anyone of you seen a sheep crossing cattle grid?

Tomorrow I will be travelling again. Hope you all are enjoying your weekend.

 

Weekend Special 38: A walk

Be happy for this moment. This moment is your life ~Omar Khayyam

Satisfaction is enjoying this view

As H. JAckson Brown, Jr. said “Enjoy the satisfaction that comes from doing little things well”.

When a small hike of 4 -5 km distance gives such a spectacular view at an altitude of 400 m above sea level one forgets everything and enjoy nature with 100% satisfaction.

My first entry to show my idea of satisfaction for this week’s “photo challenge”

 

Tuesday Trails: 2-14

One of the most popular walking trails in Bergen, Norway

Every Tuesday I upload a picture of a trail or a track or a road. It is so much fun to take a walk and capture the trail/track. Hope you enjoy it. If you like the idea feel free to join.

Weekend Special 37: Nurturing walk on a sunny day!

Weekend Special 35

Last Sunday I visited the local Botanical garden. It was rose day but due to non stop rain for more than three weeks, the flowers suffered a lot.

Actually on Sunday we made a new record of consecutive rainy summer days. This june is the most wettest June, earlier it was recorded in 1952. It’s raining every day including today 🙂 . Anyways, I managed to take some pictures and I hope you would like them.

Nurturing Thursday: Self-reliance

Self-reliance is the only road to true freedom, and being one’s own person is its ultimate reward. ~Patricia Sampson

I like going for walks/hikes and at the same time I like to spend time on enjoying nature. I like to wait and watch birds, insects, leaves,  flowers and endless things what nature has to offer.  The sound of nature is so addictive. You need to stop to enjoy it.

This quote by Patricia Sampson express my feelings and is my repsonse to Becca’s Nurturing Thursday

What is your experience with “self-reliance”?
