Countryside hiking (episode 3)


It is not necessary to go to an exotic place, in the mountains or a particular site if you want to hike. You can open the door, get outside, and explore the park near home or even your garden: there always is something to discover. Adventure can be behind your home and surprises can be amazing, strange, or only peculiar.

Some days ago I was walking along a countryside road

when I arrived in an apparently uncultivated field.

But there were some yellow flowers hidden among the grass and the shrubs.

They were numerous and they seemed to me like pumpkin flowers. And also the plants seemed to me pumpkin plants.

It was very mysterious to find pumpkin flowers in an uncultivated field with shrubs and tall grass, as long as I met the farmer who was picking up the... pumpkins.

The green yellow one was a gift given by the farmer that now stands in the living room waiting for the time to pass.

All the images were taken by me with a 5 MPx camera.
