Today was a cool day, perfect for long walks. So I did. I visited several sites with interesting mushroom specimens, and as usual, I wasn't disappointed.

Walking through the forest, beautifully illuminated by the sun, is pure pleasure. The place is far enough from the city center that the sounds of civilization don't reach it. That's all I need there.

The rose garden is still beautiful and colorful. The roses are blooming constantly, and the wafting rose scent puts you in a good mood.

Unfortunately, the birds weren't there today. There wasn't a single one. I'm walking around with these peanuts and wondering what could have happened!? Did someone scare them away, chase them away, or did they decide to leave this territory on their own?

And in the evening, I'm going for a short walk around the pond. Two herons have already made themselves at home on the island. Will they ever start a family? Time will tell.
