Wednesday Walk in the Quintessence of Life

in #hive-1949132 years ago

Wednesday is really the best day for a spontaneous short walk. Everyone around is relaxing a little with work, after a stormy Monday and understands that there are still a couple of days for urgent matters. So you can sneak out early and enjoy a wonderful summer day.

That's exactly what I did today, deciding to visit a place I know well - a horse farm at the foot of the mountains. I thought I would be lucky if there were enough horses in the paddocks today, cause horses from this farm are put up not so much for sale as for rent by tourist companies, for organizing hiking in the mountains.

Do not worry, this is not a cruel exploitation for the purpose of profit, the owners and horse breeders treat each horse with trepidation and care and accompany them on each hike, before that they hold several meetings and trainings with tourists-riders. And in most cases, such trips give animals no less pleasure than people.

In summer there is a stir here because a riding school also opensbut. But luck showed me her smile again and I found these beauties grazing in the meadow.

However, another surprise was waiting for me... it turned out that for a photoshoot of animals in the field, you need to pay money. The price was very symbolic and I agreed without hesitation, but a little confused.

Hard times require new solutions. And judging by the fact that I immediately met a competitor on the field, this decision was successful for the hosts. I am very happy for them.

Such sunny and truly summer days are very rare on this side of the mountains, usually the sky is covered with clouds. So most of the time I didn't even take pictures, but just lay on the grass and looked at the horses and clouds. Forgive my laziness, friends, but it was a gift from mother nature.

I observed the quintessence of life. Almost in the middle of summer, the bright sun overhead, the warm wind, the blooming foothill meadow and the growing new life, the offspring of spring.

It was easy to imagine that the whole world was happy at that moment. Horses are very sociable and calm and seem happy to share their joy with anyone nearby.

Very young foals were overworked by the magical weather and joyful emotions and went to bed right in the field. +23 degrees Celsius is an unimaginable heat in our region.

Time stopped running, and I didn't even notice how evening came, and the horses were led to the stalls...

You know this strange twofold feeling, when you are very upset that something so wonderful has ended, but at the same time you realize that everything ended when it was necessary, not earlier and not later, preserving some magic

Excellent dear friend. I enjoyed this beautiful caption and photos. It is a beautiful farm with noble horses.

Thank you, young lady! 😊

I love the fact you used the word 'quintessence'... It's a fabulous word that doesn't get used near enough these days. Fantastic shots my friend. Keep up the great work.

Ohoho, I'm flattered that you paid attention to this word 🙏
To be honest, the most difficult part in publications for me is the title. After all, it should briefly but accurately convey and complement the meaning of what I might not be able to explain with the help of a photo and the main text. I'm not sure that I used it grammatically correctly, but it perfectly matches the meaning of my feelings from this walk.

You did use it grammatically and contextually in an appropriate way. Titles can be fun or difficult. I usually enjoy the naming/titling process... but i know what you mean about being brief and accurate.

Amazing photographs @thenortherner 😁😎 no other explanation needed. Love your captures.
(A short comment, but I’m getting ready for a Paris trip… so my time is very limited the next 6 days 😉)

Have a great time the next days 👋🏻

Wow, Paris! I'm waiting for a wave of fascinating posts from you! With your energy, I advise you to take more memory cards for the camera! 😜😁

Yes… a few more hours and we start our journey in the midst of the night 😉 so exciting 😉🤩💃🏻🗼
I haven’t replaced my DSLR yet 🙁 (it died in Cuba) so only my iPhone. As this trip sure wasn’t planned either. I will replace it after our big move… later this year.
Thanks @thenortherner 😎

What beautiful pictures, I love seeing the colt lying in the grass with those little flowers near his really beautiful snout

Thank you! I couldn't resist decorating this cute guy while he was fast asleep 😅

Owwwww I love this pictures!!!!!

Thank you, it's nice to please a beautiful girl 🙏😊

Wonderful job buddy.

Thanks buddy! It was a real pleasure, I didn't even have to work for the sake of successful shots 😅

The photos are great!! And both the landscape and the horses are truly beautiful.

WOW Awesome photos and what a cool day out, the photos look in great condition and glad to read they are well treated and looked after

awesome you could get into the field and get those amazing shots but I do agree sometimes you need to put the camera down and just relax and enjoy the beauty y]one is seeing

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 :)

Oh, of course I could run around there like a hurricane with a camera, and maybe stock up on pictures for 10 posts ahead. But, I remembered your advice when I first published in the "walk" that it's not worth chasing anything, the essence of the tag is to have fun and relax :)

Well I have to admit I may have been tempted to rush around there as well taking a ton of photos, and nothing wrong with that as long as your or I are having fun doing it

but then again sometimes its good to put the camera down and soak in the beauty

getting the balance that is best for each of us as an individual is most important I think

Hive Power Up Day - July 1st 2022
NFT for peace - Thank you for your continuous support

you won't see a horse anywhere where I live, so I liked your photos, they really are so cute, you feel so much happiness when you stroke them

What mysterious place do you live in?)

These are beautiful animals you captured ~ they are loving the warm summer day. It would be hard to pick a favorite photo so I wouldn’t try as they are all wonderful. Awesome one of the foal taking a nap. 💤 😊

If you look closely, you will see that these are two different foals 😜 In this they are very similar to all other babies, they can fall asleep at any time and in any place 😁
