My #WednesdayWalk in the City Park & Zoo

in #hive-1555303 years ago

Hello Wednesday walkers.

I am glad to share with you a fun winter story for the #wednesdaywalk challenge hosted by @tattoodjay.

I did my daily walk in the park near my home. The most interesting place there is the small zoo, which brings joy to both children and us older ones. This is where I spent most of my time. The weather was sunny, but unfortunately cold and windy, so not many visitors. However, it is January in Southeast Europe and I couldn't have asked for more.
At the entrance, there are two kiosks that offer drinks and food, as well as sweet treats for the kids.

The zoo is small. Here live birds, two bears, deer, and wild goats. Luckily, despite the windy weather, the animals were out for a walk, even bathing in the cold water. Despite the cages, which give the impression of a prison, the animals here live in indoor heated rooms and the staff take very good care of them. The only thing I couldn't see were the bears, but I guess they are hibernating.

Instead of the real bears, I would like to introduce you to a wonderful statue and drawing :)

I did manage to get a few shots of two families who, despite the ban on feeding animals, still managed to give them some food :)

A little further up in the park, there is a playground called "Peter Pan" that is built a few meters above the earth, connecting several trees. It's made of ropes in the form of bridges, which you cross from one tree to another. It looks unsafe, but also quite fun. There's always a specially trained instructor here to make sure everyone is safe.

On the green grass fields in the park, there are metal figures of characters from famous children's fairy tales. I remember the figures from my childhood and am glad they have lasted through the years :)

For the more inquisitive guests of the park, there is a special wooden box with various books that everyone can take and enjoy reading on one of the sunny benches.

On a large green grass area, there are children's swings, carousels, and other fun games, as well as benches for parents.

I hope you enjoyed today's photo walk with me and my camera.
Stay safe and never stop dreaming.

Yours,

The truest art is what we create from the bottom of our hearts. According to the norms of society, some of us are born with the talent to create art and some of us aren't. I completely disagree with this comprehension.

I believe every human being has her/his own unique way of expression and it is not necessary to be born with the talent of a poet, writer, painter, or composer. Each of us could express hers/his view of the world in words and pictures. And if you can't paint, dance, or sing, just describe your feelings, memories, and dreams in your own words and color them with pictures you have taken yourself.
This is the unique advantage of Hive over all social platforms.

Here, you don't have to pose as who society expects you to be. On Hive you can be yourself with all your disadvantages and no one will judge you for not following the "standard". Because on Hive there are as many "standards" as the number of the members of this blockchain society.

Why do you guys have nice parks over there! 😅. The only nice park I went to was when I was in Thailand. Never really enjoyed parks here or because it isn't a thing in our culture. But I did enjoy your walk. I would go for the peter pan section if I was there. 😂

And if I told you that the city I live in only has 30,000 residents and there are 3 parks, how would you feel? 😁 The park from this post has a zoo, the other has several lakes with wonderful aquatic plants, and the third park is situated on the banks of the Maritza River, which runs through Bulgaria, northeastern Greece, and the European part of Turkey all the way to the Aegean Sea.
After your polite invitation to visit the Philippines and travel together ✈️, now is the perfect time to invite you too for a walk with me ⛺️. And it might not exactly be on Wednesday 😃.

there are 3 parks, how would you feel?

I would feel excited about that. And I would take that dare to walk with you as long as it's one of those beautiful parks there or perhaps go on a trek up in the mountains would be a great idea too! 😂

Of course, just a walk in the park would be too little for the long way you will travel 😉. We'll definitely be exploring other beautiful parts of Bulgaria, and Turkey and Greece are only an hour away from my home town 🚗 😁

What a cool park so nicely laid out sweet photos of the animals

That Peter Pan tree course looks fun

Thanks for joining Wednesday Walk :), I truly enjoy exploring the world virtually each Wednesday seeing walks from all around the globe and feeling I am there and experiencing it all myself, such as I did in your post just now :)
