When among trees, it is almost mandatory to put yourself in a tree pose 🌲
Summer is in full force now in the Mediterrenean, I feel like I have been waiting for this for such a long time. Today was 28C. Days are so long, the trees have a beautiful shade of green and look so complete, the birds are constantly chirping, people look less stressed in general; I feel so happy just walking down any street with no purpose, my shoulders have finally relaxed down the back and away from the ears. I feel light (literally) and so effortlessly content. This is my second year living in seasons and although I appreciate their beauty, I operate best and I know I can be a more positive human being while living in an eternal summer climate. What about you? Do you love summer as much as I do?
Location: Gran Canaria, Spain
Yo Flo you should convert your SBD to steem. Or use it to up your post. Glad to see your still at it.
I know but Elda was telling me now it's not a good time to do it though; I'm waiting for the green light from her 😂 @ealbania
I love summer but not the heat. I wait all winter for the summer days, but when I get the summer I know I can't handle it. We just recently traveled to Florida,as soon as it got 89 degrees I was done... Time for that AC air
I'll take 89 degrees any day before the DC snow storms :))
Wow, what a spot for some nice outdoor workout :) I love the Canaries!
Thank you!! I adore the Canaries as well, but pretty sad about what they have done to the environment from logging. I found Gran Canaria to be the most eroded. Only at this region near Roque Nublo there are pine trees left, which are now protected under the National Park. To think that all those other bare mountains on the photo once were covered in vegetation. Hopefully over time they will regenerate and recover lost fauna from replanting projects.
Actually, I have only visited Tenerife so far, I spent there a couple of months in 2016 and the nature, especially in the north of the island, was really breathtaking. Sorry to hear GC is so damaged :( Once I get back to the Canaries, La Palma and La Gomera are the islands that I want to see the most as they say these islands are still very pristine, untouched by the mass tourism. Have you been there?
I have not been there, but I've heard that they are incredible. I've visited Tenerife, GC and Lanzerote. Lanzerote is insanely wild! 1/4 of the island's surface is covered by lava, so it's kind of hard for trees to grow and humans to log them :)

This is so magical ✨
Nothing like mountain views of the ocean 💛
Thank you, the Canary islands have very dramatic landscapes. You should check them out if you can, you would love hiking there!
Nice.. Hiking is the best hobbies..
Thanks, I agree, anything outside in nature is gold!
Seriously awesome photo! Loving the clouds and mountains in the distance. I completely agree with you about spring/summer. I feel so much happier and energized during warm months. We are finally started to get warm days here and it feels like such a relief to get past winter.
Thank you so much for stopping by and your lovely comment! The mountain in the background is Teide volcano, Spain's highest mountain.
I can relate to getting past winter, this year it was quite harsh here in northern Italy. But, now we can really appreciate and be grateful for the good weather :)
I am going to disagree on that with you, Flo. I love spring and fall, I like winter (the Greek one I mean) but summer, I don’t like it so much. I just can’t function correctly with too much heat.
Nevertheless nice shot!
Have a happy summer!
Haha it's totally ok, I like to hear all sorts of opinions and preferences :) I think the Greek winter is much nicer than the north Italian winter...gray, fog, and months of zero degrees are not quite what you experience in Greece, am I right?
Yeah, summer heat needs the sea/ocean for sure in order to be comfortable. You are in Crete right? You can plunge into the cool, amazing Aegean water anytime you want!
Wow, that landscape is amazing, looks so vast.
I love summer, but man! I don't like heat.
It's strange that during the summer I feel super energetic and yet so lazy to move. Maybe it's because when summer comes the temperatures go above 30 Celsius.
Thank you, the landscape in all the Canary islands is extremely dramatic!
I don't enjoy a super hot summer so much either without a lake/sea/ocean to cool down. Still, I never feel pain from the heat, just fatigue and tiredness, which I prefer to the winter blues and the freezing pain :)
Absolutely beautiful Flo!
It's always nice to take a little bit of time to stand in tree pose :)
I have started to notice, originally being from the Netherlands and experiencing a lot of rain and cold weather, that I feel a lot better when I am in a warm climate for a long period compared to being in cold places.
Sure I love fall and winter, snow is beautiful and I'm absolutely not scared of rain, but summer really does it for me. All the fragrances that are in the air, the beautiful flowers, all of the amazing greens... Even the tree bark smells nicer
I have yet to experience being in a hot land for more than a year, that will be my next journey. Who knows, perhaps I will be thinking about snow all day at some point.
Hi! Thank you for stopping by and sharing your experience with the seasons!
You are right, we will always miss something else that we don't have at the moment: in summer, we will miss the cool air, in winter we will miss the warmth and the sense of feeling good. But overall, I think most people are happier and more positive when the sun is shining and the weather is fine 😊
