Recently, I saw a couple of posts on Hive regarding going out of the comfort zone, or how the real growth happens only when we move out, to the unknown, to the uncomfortable... I suppose we all know that, or we became aware of it in our lives... The theory is out, but to stick to it, and to take action, that´s a different beast...


Speaking from personal experience, I went out of the comfy zone many times in the past... The biggest challenge for an introvert is to go out to the open, to the social network, or to speak in front of the public... (That was very uncomfortable 😃)...

Moving to a different country, after that, changing the place of living isn´t easy either... And then, when I look at these photos, I realize that I went back to the ¨zone¨... I went back for a walk around the familiar paths where I lived for the last year... There is nature all around in the new place, but the old one is nicer... Or it just looks like that... "First love never fades."


This place isn´t my birthplace or first love, but somehow, I connected with it... The bond is created...


So, here I am... Back to the roots... When I began my HIVE journey, the first step was Splinterlands, the second was Actifit! I did dozens, if not hundreds, of Actifit reports on my second account, where I mostly shared photos from my walks... Because of the ¨niche¨ on those photos, some called me Mr.Flower... hehehe. My Actifit reports were full of flower images! 🌹


As of moving to an area which is more famous for vineyards, I have missed the orange groves in bloom... It´s great to see orange fruits and flowers in the same tree, but it´s even better to SMELL the bloom! Anyway, seeing fresh oranges on trees was satisfying too... 😃



Speaking of oranges, this camping site is called Orange Grove! 😃 I was trying to pull out a perfect photo of different flags, when the van came out and stopped there... 🤦♂ Another photo ruined... 😂


The following photo series is for @tengolotodo, as, if I remember well, he said that he knows only one type of Bougainvillea plant and flower (color)... I got you back, buddy... Here you can find 3 types... 😃





Somewhere behind the big tree, far away, at the end of the hill, is my today's goal... the sea... 🙂

...before going there, look on the other side... Very unusual image for this part of Spain... Usually, everything is burnt by the sun, but during the winter, you can see scenery like this... Green grass like it's Spring!


I heard that this cactus is locally called trepador, which could be translated as a climber... It's real, the common name is Dragon fruit, and it has a beautiful flower when it blooms...

This one would like to escape from the garden... "Heeeelp me..." 😀

Hawaiian Lilly is one of my favorite flowers... It is surreal, and when you see it IRL, you would think it's some plastic creation... Those flowers are huge!



My tryout to take a macro photo of the inner part of the flower... Look at those colors and lines... Nature is perfect!




We are closer and closer to our goal... only a few steps more...

And here we are! Maybe we could go straight, but I didn't have a bathing suit with me, and the weather wasn't for bathing... 😀


Looking to the left... Looking to the right... Time to go home...

Thanks for your company for this walk... See you at the next one!
Thank you for your time.
