The first day of a season is always significant. I want to remember how summer began. The best way to do this is with photographs. And I went for a walk. It was warm and comfortable outside. The weather was all the more conducive to walking. I live near the children's park. There was a holiday. There are a lot of people. I decided to change the usual route of my walks in city parks.
Today I decided to walk through the city streets. I went to one of the residential microdistricts under the beautiful name "Botanica".
The path was long. And I combined it with Nordic walking.
To get to the "Botanika" microdistrict, you first need to go through other streets. I walked along the street called Komsomolskaya. On the way there was a square with the same name.
I decided to turn onto the quiet Avtovokzalnaya street. On the one hand, the private sector. There is construction on the other side of the street.
I'm glad I chose this route.
. It's nice to walk when there is so much greenery around.
A beautiful contrast of plants - a combination of burgundy with pale green. Plants well chosen.
On the way on the sidewalk, I met this miracle. This is a hedgehog. Usually hedgehogs appear in the evening. And this one decided to take a walk in the morning. A beautiful, sweet animal. I love hedgehogs.
Finally, I came to the Botanika microdistrict. This is a relatively young neighborhood.
The first buildings in this microdistrict appeared 10-11 years ago. There are still many free places. I think that construction will continue in the future.
Too bad there were too many clouds and little blue in the sky.
The colorful houses in the background are a kindergarten.
Despite the fact that the microdistrict is young, there are many plantings of plants. This is what makes him attractive.
Wastelands are also gradually planted with trees.
Near high-rise buildings everywhere there are flower beds, shrubs.
These small islands of greenery look nice next to high-rise buildings.
There is still undeveloped land here. While I was there, they were cutting grass in a wasteland.
In the flowerbed I photographed flowers called anemone.
And these are beautiful cornflowers. I love these flowers for their rich blue color.
Quince Chinese fits perfectly into the overall landscape.
And this is me already returning home along the same Komsomolskaya street. I take pictures at intersections.
Near one of the buildings I saw these cute animals. They slept so sweetly under the gentle rays of the sun.
We had a sharp difference in temperature today. It was too cold in the morning. By lunchtime it was almost hot. And people took off their coats.
By the time I got home, the sky had already become more beautiful. White clouds parted to give way to blue skies.
I live next to the river. I could not resist and took a picture of this duck. This is a domestic duck. But she has been living on the river for two months next to wild ducks.
This handsome pigeon, apparently, is from the younger generation. It is smaller than our urban pigeons.
During the walk today I walked about 10 kilometers. Time spent about 4 hours. A lot, because I periodically stopped to take pictures.
I had a wonderful walk on Wednesday. This is a post to go with #WednesdayWalk challenge by @tattoodjay.
