"The mountains are calling and I must go" - John Muir



Hello Hivers and Wednesday Walkers

I'm about to head out for my hiking today, but before I go I'll share with you some pictures of my hike yesterday for the #WednesdayWalk.

One of the things that hubby and I are enjoying the most these days are those daily hike to the nature reserve at La Fila Park. This routine of going to the mountains at least four days a week, besides being fun, is helping us to improve our health.

Last week, I did the control tests prescribed by the doctor, and all my values are much better, especially cholesterol and glycemia, which were the ones I was most worried about. So we have a big incentive to keep eating healthy and continue to enjoy our walks and what nature is giving us every day as we are feeling better.

So let's go, and join me on my afternoon hike.

I always get little wonders to photograph like this colorful caterpillar. Have you ever seen one like this?

LaFila711_9.jpg

It's still raining a lot these days and there is a lot of humidity on some of the trails, so we always find some fungi on our way.

.

It's funny but I had never paid much attention to fungi in nature before, and now I love to photograph them

LaFila711_10.jpg

The view yesterday when we arrived at the viewpoint was breathtaking. One of those afternoons that makes you reconcile with the city.

LaFila711_6.jpg

It looked like a painting. El Avila looked majestic and the sky was clear as if announcing that December would soon arrive with its clear skies.

November is usually the last month of the rainy season here.

We stayed a while chatting and contemplating the view.

LaFila711_5.jpg

Time went by in a hurry and it was late afternoon. The view to the west showed us that the sun had already set. So we hurried back.

LaFila711_4.jpg

But always looking at the beautiful details like these tiny yellow flowers.

LaFila711_3.jpg

It was almost dark and for the first time, we noticed this lighted sign on the trail. I wonder if it's something they've put up for mountain bikers who frequent these trails even at night.

LaFila711_2.jpg

By the time we reached the last section of the trail to leave the reserve, it was already dark, even though It was only 6 p.m.

We weren't afraid of getting lost, but in that darkness, my biggest fear was finding a snake.

Fortunately, our little adventure ended without incident and without any unwanted encounters, hehe. But we will go a bit earlier these afternoons so we don't get caught in the dark on the mountain.

This is my post for this week's #wednesdaywalk challenge hosted by @tattoodjay in collaboration with #makemesmile hosted by @elizacheng.

Thank you for reading.

Eating healthy foods and having a walk as your exercise is really a great help to our body no, I'm glad that everything in your test is normal. It just shows that being consistent and following your proper diet cab do a lot of things in our body.

Anyways, that hairy thing in there. It's pretty but I feel like if I move closer my hand to it by half centimeter, I will start to feel itchy (≧▽≦). And those mushrooms is so cute and tiny. And the view at the top showing the big city is just magnificent! That great view is what I want to see everyday and every morning. I feel like I can start my day beautifully with this kind of view ฅ^•ﻌ•^ฅ

Our body is grateful for good eating habits and avoiding sedentary lifestyles, right?

Hehe! I didn't go near the hairy caterpillar either just in case ;)

I know;) I'm not particularly eager to walk in the dark. But yesterday, we spent some time contemplating the view and it got late and it already started to get dark earlier. But we need to go a bit earlier for our walks these months.

It is good to know that they are having a consistency in the walks through that beautiful natural reserve, without a doubt, walking there must be very fun and healthy, since nature has the healing property, especially if you accompany it with a good diet.
I'm glad to know that your studio's indices have improved.
What a beautiful view you have from above, and how much natural life there is, it's great that you were able to photograph this great adventure, quite an experience on a Wednesday hike.
I take this opportunity to wish you a splendid night and a happy rest dear friend @coquicoin

I can't say if it is poisonous, I tried to look for information about it with Google Lens but I couldn't find anything. In any case, I would not dare to touch it.

I really enjoy photographing mushrooms as well! They pose beautifully in my experience, offering different shading with angle... I think taking snapshots of flowers is the same. 💚

This is a gorgeous walk, and I can see it offering a lot of motivation for activity. I'm so glad to hear that your doing better health wise, and wish you many happy hikes ahead! 🤗

Super nice your photos @coquicoin. The caterpillar, the mushroom, the mountain... from the particular to the general, you have captured the essence of El Avila. I imagined it wet, exactly as you describe it, because that's what your images convey.
I'm so glad you are able to enjoy those excursions and that everything is balanced in terms of your health.

I send you greetings and lots of good vibes.

I also love taking photographs with some fungi haha. Once I go hike maybe I would always find some of these. 😆

Anyways, seems you enjoyed walking. But I don't mind spending night in a trail. Scary!. 😂😭

Nice to read more and see more beautiful photos of your walk. I can imagine it's scary to be hiking in the dark, although we've done it once a long time back. LOL! The view at the top is so lovely it's worth the trek. Happy #thankfulThursday :D

Still, lovely view of the mountains!

It seems itchy. I didn't get too close just in case. But I wonder if it is poisonous.

You be careful with night time forays into the jungle Super Eli 🔷💙🔷 , hehe the mention of dark and snakes got me thinking of times in Africa hahaha.

That looked fun though and yeah your mountain dayum it is looking stunning!

That really is one on my to do list and see it in the rock so to speak!

Hehe, well I assure you that in those trails there are snakes. I have seen one on a couple of occasions and I would not like to meet one in the dark. I'm not as audacious as Eddie Wildlife 😉😂💙.

On the other hand, I would like to stay someday at the viewpoint until it's dark and see the city lights. The view must be breathtaking. One of these days maybe when the rains stop and the vegetation is not so thick in the trails.

What a lovely walk - I just love those views over the city with the mountains in the background - its so pretty !
And I liked the John Muir quote ! He was born really close to Edinburgh in the town of Dunbar, and there is a pathway named after him called the John Muir way which stretches from east to west in Scotland, and it pretty much goes right past our front door !
Hope you have a lovely weekend !
