Life exists outside computer screens!

in nature •  8 years ago 

Grandpere is not a big fan of extreme sports. However, he likes the outdoors. It starts with work around the house: maintenance, gardening, mowing the lawn but there is also something else to do. 

Regularly, I join one of the 5 outdoor clubs in the region (within a 15km radius) for hiking, cycling, snowshoeing or cross-country skiing. It's good for your health, but most of all it allows you, after several hours a day in front of screens, to change ideas and meet other people. 

This year, the season is at least 15 days late. Until recently, there was still snow on the trails and since it has been raining almost every day.   

When I go out in the wild, the screen is never far away because I like to take pictures of people, landscapes, flowers and other peculiarities of nature. Thus, by geolocalized photos, I was able to identify flowers, mushrooms and then find them the following year.       

Today I just enjoyed the nature and company of the people who accompanied me.
