Trees can smile too

Do you know what is one of the best reasons you get out to have a walk?

Is it sunshine?

Is it a need to stay fit?

Maybe a way to meet friends or have a chit-chat with them while walking?

All these are perfect motives not to stay at home. I would pick any of them to take a little walk, but today I had a different reason, which was even simpler... I needed to buy two onions. Exactly two, as they will go to the stew, according to my recipe. Not that I need to read the instructions and anyway I use ingredients that I have at home, but without onions, this dish can't be prepared.

To be honest, sunshine was also tempting as for a week or so rain was the main protagonist here. Do you want to see it? I made a little GIF from a video I took yesterday when the sky was completely grey.

...

Well, seems that it doesn't want to upload correctly to Hive so we leave it out. Sunshine is stronger than a rainy GIF 😂 That is good actually, so let's see how sunny it was while I was on that mission to use my feet to get to the grocery and buy the needed onions.

It was so bright and sunny that the colours of the flowers I saw started to fade. It is Miss Bougainvillea btw, there are so many of them around but they decided not to shine with pleasing colours today. Their flowers can't be captured nicely. (It is not true though - probably it can be done, but this user is not very good at that task so she has to invent an excuse why the photos are not better...)

The white flowers behaved a bit better. Not too photogenic either but at least they contrasted with the background.

Some of those white flowers died when saw me approaching, then I decided to leave them alone. They deserve a better life and photographers. I will focus on green leaves, they don't fail when captured with a phone.

And this big leaf?

No, I didn't pick that leaf from a tree. I found it on a pile of branches and leaves that had been cut off. Today the workers are pruning the lower branches of the trees on this street. I believe these trees have their hairdressers.

All this walk toward my destination was already pleasing me, the green leaves, trees, flowers, the birds I heard... but the thing that brought a smile to my face was a tree that was also smiling. She is living in one roundabout in front of one hotel. Mrs Tree even has eyes, a nose and a friendly smile and arms. We can't ignore it :)

A closer capture of the tree with this lovely smile - she is sending it to all of us.

Don’t criticise yourself that much, pictures came out delightful and it’s enjoyable to reed the way you described your walk👍

Oh, my favourite activity, to criticise myself 😁

Well, I am just objective as I know how those who indeed know their work take photos. And the equipment that is needed for good shots :)

Thank you for your words 😇

haha! Indeed it was smiling! It's cool how observant you are to be able to see that smile of a tree and captured it. I was smiling while reading too!🤗

@callmesmile - I am glad to see you here, with this smiling tree! I think it was waiting for you, and give you too a smile :))
Btw, it can be so contagious 😊 (smiling)

the beauty of nature highlighted so well in your post and then the smiling tree how cool is that

Thanks for joining the Wednesday Walk, its my pleasure to host it and see all the posts each week from all around the world, including yours, if you have time visit some of the other walks this week there are so many interesting ones

Nature that grows in the street that leads to the shops. And the smiling tree, cool indeed 😊 I almost reached the place to get the onions when I spotted it 😉

It always happens to me that because I work from home I don't go out much and I really miss beautiful things outside. Right now I'm living next to a forest and every time I go shopping at the supermarket I have to pass by it and I spend some time contemplating how beautiful it is, of course, until I get cold and run back home😅

How cool to live by a forest @auelitairene and to have to pass by it to go to the supermarket. But get cold? Is it now cold at your place?

Here it is autumn right now and the rains have just started, so yes, the cold is starting to be felt....

Having a pine forest next to the house makes everything feel colder than it normally does in the rest of the city.

And summer is approaching here... I think I would need some colder air from that pine forest when the sun warms up the temperatures here hahaha

Hahaha yeah, you betcha.

Summer is nice if you have a water source nearby, because otherwise the sun is inclement.

I'll send you some of this cold weather over there ☺️

☀️☁️🌤️🌥️

Woww I loved the smiling tree!

I always look for shapes in everything, trees, leaves, clouds. I love your story and the pictures. But the flowers didn't dry up because you came closer, but to show in your photos the cycle of life, the reality. There are not always flowers, moments, alive.

Me and my metaphors....

How nice to read you! I'm going to encourage myself to be in these places... I do a lot of walks for the sun, for walking but above all to admire life.

Thank you @mipiano!❤️

We can always see some details that nature gives us, that is true. In the clouds, trees, flowers... - we just have to let ourselves see those hidden shapes and even smiles 😉

Hmm, would be nice to think they just found themselves in that phase in the circle of life. Are you sure they didn't die because of me? 😂

Going out and admiring life - can't agree more with you, @avdesing! 😇 Thank you for the reminder, may you have an excellent day, with a lot of sunshine :)

P.S. It's finally sunny here at Costa Blanca

I'm sure it wasn't because of you it's just life so ....

Do you live on the coast? Great! Sunshine at last!

Yes, can't be more coastal :)

What a place it will be.... mystery to discover...

The best picture goes to the smiling tree! :D

And I like that purple tree! Very picturesque!

The purple tree is called Jacaranda, it is blooming now for the last few weeks :)

look at the luck two onions brought you. Maybe you’d need one onion today and who knows,two the day after but I hope you’re this lucky again.😅

It’s good to have some sunshine, beautiful trees and flowers.😅

Luck, that's it. The plan to prepare that dish and running out of onion made me meet the Mre Tree with her smile 😃

😅 I wish you more luck.

Thank you :D

Haha I see the face in the tree. That's pretty funny.

All the above for reasons to walk outside, including running errands and buying groceries 😁

The flowers are nice. I like the little white ones.

Oh, the little white ones are so nice and have a strong fragrance. It is Jasmine

The tree irresistibly reminds me of...⬇️ 🤣

The Adventures Of Milo And Otis Cat GIF

Bougainvillea is the most beautiful thing I've ever smelled, even though it's 0 photogenic! Is that schefflera, growing outside on it's own? Don't tell me it is, cause I know them as high maintenance plants 😵

Hahaha, yeah, they really resemble!! :))

Schefflera - this one?

They grow like weeds. As well as succulents, or oleanders, on the streets by themselves or used as fences. I know my mom tries to save them (oleanders) and pamper them for years and here they go like crazy without any care hahaha. Well, we miss here all the other things that grow there, so... 😂

I know my mom tries to save them (oleanders) and pamper them for years and here they go like crazy without any care hahaha.

Yeah, I can feel her pain, same happens to me and schefflera, mom drags them in before low temperatures start and gets them out each spring, seeing them growing like this without almost any care - devastating.:D

Well, we miss here all the other things that grow there, so... 😂

Not a problem, I'll take a few veggie photos especially for you - win,win.😜

Veggies are more useful than plants 😉

(I mean ornamental plants :D )

the flowers there are very beautiful, what I like the most is the big tree with the purple flowers, it really looks spectacular

Agree - the big purple tree is spectacular - it is called Jacaranda! :)

very nice name for a beautiful tree

The contrast of purple trees and blue sky is too pretty.. Seema like the weather there is so great to have a stroll..
Your photographs are great as usual..

Yep, finally great weather. After the rain - now green and sunny 😋

Thank you, happy Wednesday to you too!!

It always rains here after too much hot weather which is rational..

Oh glad you don't have onions and you had a great walk because of finding them.

In our walk this morning we also found a bougainvillea almost similar to yours, yes trees and flowers gave their smile and it made us smile too.

Now I am glad too, that I didn't have onions. You see, life always brings a good twist to things 🙂

Yes sometimes we murmur but at the end we will be thankful after realizing what's the reason or purpose behind it. Keep safe.

Exactly :)

Oh yes, I love to found those tree smiles and eyes… but I don’t remember to see any tree nose! You were lucky! 😂
Nature always has something beautiful to show us. 😍
!LUV

Trees with eyes and mouths - seems they like to grow here in Spain hahaha

And true, nature has some beautiful surprises for us

it does have a lovely smile indeed , and you did a fine job on capturing that what you wanted to show us .

I am glad you also see that lovely smile

Who could resist it? 😋

I better watch my steps as I pass that tree. It feels like somebody is watching. 😄...

😂😂 But it is a friendly and kind tree , so no worries :))

No ves que todo va?,
Todo creciendo hacia arriba,
y el Sol siempre saldrá...

The flowers did the opposite when you arrived. That's how I see it, but because you left quickly, you didn't give the others time to revive.

:) La parte de la sonrisa de la señorita 🌳 ya te la dije.

El tiempo es veloz, pues no he podido quedarme más tiempo con las flores jajaja, me esperaba la cocina (no, no post, sería un desastre. bueno, hablo por mis improvisaciones allí 😂)

Lo sé, tal vez un post en un rincón inspirado con una foto del recuerdo, un poco de arte culinario y música. Piensa en eso. jajaja

Quizás se podría preparar algo de esos ingredientes. Pero arte no será 😆

A lo mejor me animo y hago uno parecido pero necesito inspiración 😋

Muy bien! :)

Solamente un consejo - cuidado con los cuchillos! (me corté el dedo el otro día, pero nada grave, he podido tocar el 🎹)

Noooo... :( Menos mal que no hay venas... jajajajaja jajajaja ay, ya. ¿¿¿¿No es hora de dormir en Ezzzzzpaña???? 😂

The smile in the nature. You can see it every day when the nature has flowers on the trees, fruits, the beautiful green wherever, and the beautiful smile in the Trunk.

Denis is being poetic today :)

Only if we could spend more time in nature and see its smile all the time 🍀

What a positive tree)) I am sure everyone becomes happy after looking at this smile))

Trees can be like that, happy and sharing it 😌

Nature is full of love! we should connect with nature everyday!

Without any doubt 😉

Jajajaja that a very friendly smile we have to smile back for sure 🙂

True. Smile is contagious, and the tree also proves it 😇

I was wondering where this was taking me! Lovely flowers then BANG, got it straight away, brilliant!!

Yes, this walk was taking us to the onions smiling tree 😃

LOl and it made me smile

The culprit is the smiling tree 😀

Ah, that's cute... Smiling tree is happy to see all that greenery around.

Another reason to plant More tree's...

. I needed to buy two onions

I honestly always need an excuse just to go on a walk outside... Happen Twice or thrice a day sometime to get yoghurt, snacks and whatever mom says.. haha. I enjoyed this walk of ya the way it is written... !LUV ED it.

Then we have to continue finding excuses to go out and enjoy the sunshine :))

Yes, I also think Mrs Tree was happy to see the greenery and sun 😇

Yeah, indeed!

Great.. have a Good day ahead, sis!

If there is such a beautiful place, where there is greenery like this, then one wants to go there, because due to the blowing wind, one can breathe very well. All these flowers looks so beautiful but white flower is my favorite. Thanks for sharing.

The white was nice.... the small ones? It is Jasmine :)
Smells pretty good!

I love the pics from you walk !!!

Congratulations on participating in the PUD @mipiano. 💪🐝

Well, on a sunny day, any excuse is good for a walk, and if the "excuse" makes us stay outside for longer, all the better!
I've always said that the human being is a solar-powered machine!
Although we are not cold-blooded beings, we have a need to feel the warmth of the sun permeating every pore!
If we then have a chance to take pictures along the way, all the better!

Hehehe, solar-powered machines. Interesting observation, but yes, so important for our mood and our health. Well, for the life :D
