One of the best things about HIVE is the friendships you can make here... If you are open-minded and ready to embrace them on a higher level, some of those friendships continue to grow outside the Internet wires and Wi-Fi! Meetups all around the world, visits to your new friends' countries, and the discovery of things that you would never discover without your new HIVE friend!

Just a few days ago, I was showing around this exact beach to @alessandrawhite, who came to visit us, to practice with @mipiano for the "mini-concert" that will be held at the Hive Open Days, Alicante meetup at the end of April, beginning of May! As girls can't just work 3 days in a row, I had a "duty" to show Alessandra the surroundings where we lived!


I remember very well one of my first family vacations to the mountain Zlatibor, Serbia, where I met a (new) friend whom I had known only from the Internet for a couple of years! In those times, I had a motorsport niche Internet forum, where I met dozens of people who were part of our community... Those were my best vacations ever (until that moment), and I still clearly remember the places we visited and how we spent our time...


Having a local to show you around is priceless! They will show you how people really live in the area, what the most iconic things around are, and help you to skip all those ridiculous money-grab tourist "attractions" with zero value... As I had such a great vacation back in the days, I'm always trying to show my guests as much as possible of the place where I live... To share my knowledge about it (if I have it π), and to make their vacation memorable!

Unfortunately, Alessandra had just a few days available this time, so we missed showing her this awesome path where I had my #WednesdayWalk today... She did visit the beach in the first 2 photos, but in the continuation of today's walk, she didn't... I had a few more things on my mind to show her, but we ran out of time... Maybe next time...

A great mimosa tree, or an old water mill that even I didn't know existed!






This winter we had a lot of rain, and because of that, the surroundings got greener than ever! Yes, we did have flowers before, but not this much, all around the path, roads, blooming!



Loquat tree's fruits are getting more and more orange, which means that soon they will be edible... On a joy of one person at my home who likes them a lot... π




A lot of time has passed since I went on this path... Maybe in over 2 years, and some new things can be encountered on the way... Like this cat house beside the road...



Currently, oranges are at the moment when they can have fruits AND flowers on their branches! I can't remember any other fruit that does that! And the smell... OMG... I would like to be able to transmit it to you...



On the path, you can find this gorgeous Stone Pine tree, which has been standing at that place for over 200 years!!! The second largest tree in the Valencian region!

And on the opposite side of the pine tree, you can find this carobb tree... Without the plaque, but probably even older than the pine tree!








Orange tree flowers, which will convert into fruits at the end of the year!










I needed this... After so many dry years, we can finally witness fields full of flowers, and a lot of green colors, instead of that burned-out red soil color... Just watching this photo calms the soul down, and imagine what it feels like to walk inside it? Maybe next time I will do that...

Thanks for joining me on this walk in nature... I didn't want to "talk" too much this time, as I wanted to let you enjoy the walk...
Thank you for your time.

It's amazing how the rain has transformed the landscape, that field of flowers looks beautiful... The wildflowers, I think I can almost smell them, and I love the orange trees. The trails really caught my eye; they're gorgeous!!! Long live spring!π
I have reminded myself many times of that Jardin Botanico in Malaga, which has to be gorgeous in spring! πΉ
Iβve got a visit planned with my family... my brother wants me to paint a 1.5-metre-wide picture inspired by the botanical gardens, so Iβll need to take loads of photos!!! Itβs wisteria season!
If you show everything there is to see on the first tour, what will enchant her the next time? π
You had a great walk and indeed, the environment now, greener like this, looks much more beautiful.
When I walk in the parks where the flowers smell, I stop, sit on a bench, close my eyes and enjoy π
Hehehe... That's true... When my parents were visiting us last year, we went all around almost every day, and there are still places that I didn't show them! π
That's the way to do it! βοΈ π
Upravo ovaj gif sam opisao u postu pre dve nedelje, Like Ferdinand π
Oh, you and mapanio stays in the same city, wow. One thing I love about music or being a good music player is that you'd have the opportunity to travel around the world, and dear @alessandrawhite is just having her best time. π
I can imagine how excited she was seeing all these beautiful places you've shared with us. Now I feel like being there too. π
So many stunning photos, you must have spent some hours on the walk. Well it's nice you didn't talk much and allowed us to enjoy the beautiful photo walk with you. π
!BBH
So, I talk too much?? π
Thanks for checking out the post! See you in PYPT! π
That's your words against mine. π€£
See you too.

Hi @ph1102! What a richly appointed blog post-so many gorgeous photos!! The lemon π pictures are my favourite.
You, @mipiano and Anna should have a tour company for the scenic walks you offer! I lived my time in Spain with you all and lots of so forward to seeing you again very soon!!
Hehhehe... That's not a bad idea for running a tour company... π I just have to get a bus driving licence, and we are ready to go! π
Next time, bring your sneakers with you, and we will be doing an all-day walk in nature! π₯
The way you talk about your walks makes us feel like we are right there with you :) I think it is special to share these moments with friends, particularly when they come from far away.
It is much better to do these walks in a company! I liked it when my friend took me around his hometown, and I want to do the same with my guests! π»
Going for a walk is a good thingβit clears your head, you get in a few thousand steps, and you get to take in the sights along the way. I think it helps me, even though I have to force myself to do it every day.
And then, !BEER πππ»
I have to admit that I have the same "problem"... It's always hard to get up from the computer chair, but every time I do it, no regrets! π
looks like a very nice area for macro photography in the early mornings .
!PIMP
Oh, you would enjoy it so much! With your camera and your skills, the memory card would be full in 2 hours... π
nah my memory card can hold + 5000 photos , but i get what you mean .
The walks look great, and it's nice to see all the plants starting to bloom. It shows that thee seasons are changing, and it's nice to see different things from time to time.
Seasons are changing, and this is actually an unusual view here, even in Spring! But, I don't mind, as a matter of fact, I enjoy it! π
I like the fact that's not much toxic compared to other socials where toxicity is the nr1 point... You seem like already in summer π lovely views, we got a lot of flowers too
This was a "DETOX" walk... hehehe... Every minute spent in nature gives a positive effect on my mind and soul... π
Real friendships beyond the screen
yup! That's what counts the most! π»
Cheers to that!
So true that Hive is much more than just a social media platform to "make money". It's fun to get to know people and see photos of different parts of the world! Nice photos!
Thanks, man! I know you like photos from all around the world... π
