A Morning Walk And All

Hello, welcome to my blog. In few hours it will be the first weekend of the year. I hope you're enjoying the holidays.

I'm really enjoying my holiday getaway at my elder sister's village! The warm hospitality and serene atmosphere are making this a truly unforgettable experience. I'm glad I accepted the invitation to spend the holidays with them.

Since arriving, I've been living it up, spending time with my nephews, nieces, and even my in-laws! But today, I decided to take a break and enjoy some fresh air, so I went for a lovely morning walk outdoors.

So this is my first walk of the year, and what a delight it was! I savored every moment of my morning stroll, surrounded by the crisp air and warm sunshine. The chill of the morning was perfectly balanced by the sun's gentle rays, making for a truly invigorating experience.

I also found some fascinating things which I'd be sharing with you. So let's go.

The first thing I found was this fruit. At first glance, it appears sweet, but sadly, it's actually not edible. I had hoped it was so I can savor the taste while on the walk.

Moving away from there, I saw this - a flower seed and it's beautiful bloom.

I haven't seen such a unique plant before. Well, there are many unique things to see here because it's a forest zone.

Isn't this a beaut?

I have a little friend here. She came with the young brother to fetch firewood.

When I saw her go right inside the bush, I followed suit and also helped her fetch some firewood. She was so happy and I was glad to help.

The boy

Finally we have a bike man here. I had wondered where they all went to, lol.

Take a look at this. I'm sure you'd be wondering why these holes on the poor soil 😅. Well it's the handiwork of some small games, maybe rabbit or rodents.

Ants are one incredible creatures. Look at the tree and you'll see what they did up there - an anthill. How they built this beats my imagination.

Another bike.

In the previous post I published about "the bees", I mentioned that I caught sight of some box-like structures, which was the beehives but was scared of going further into the apiary to check them out
Well I did pass by there during my walk and I summoned the courage to get a bit closer and captured them. That's a job well done to me 😂.

Passing by this compound, I saw these logs of woods. Like I pointed earlier, there are forests and bushes here. So the locals, who are predominantly farmers, often cut them to make a living.

It was an enjoyable and refreshing walk, and I'm glad to have embarked on it.

Thank you for reading.
