SPRINGTIME ADVENTURES , episode 3 - Extraordinary beauty of an ordinary meadow
These days I try to spend most of the time outdoors, searching for wild asparagus and photographing with a small compact camera the explosion of colors and life in nature that surrounds me.
Yesterday I went wandering through the vineyards, olive orchards and cabbage fields at the outskirts of town...
...and took a short break to eat the sandwich on one of the many meadows surrounding the cultivated fields...
...but when I decided to take a few photos, just to have a little record of the day...
... I knew that this short break from asparagus searching will be hours long.
The weather was very dynamic. Cloudy with the fast movement of clouds leading to short outbursts of sunshine...
...which is always great for photography.
Just one, maybe two, kilometers distant, the plants, the insects, the colors...and the overall atmosphere of this place is quite different than on the coast...
I found many colorful surprises in the tall grass....like this wild orchid...
and shiny ones...like this metallic green beetle
...and a solid variety of flowers
like this one
or this
or these, very small ones
yep
... and that's all for today...hope you like ordinary meadows :) ...have a good day....or night....wherever you are...
That looks like a meadow teeming with life! Always a good sign in my book. Amazing photos, I hope you keep them coming.

Amazing photos and what a wonderful day you have there @borjan 😉 so.. how long is the wild asparagus hunting will take time.. all spring time? Yaayy... you could have taken all rte asparagus from its habitat😂😂😂.. have a good night
Asparagus season is almost over. When the year goes normally, the season is the end of March and April...this spring is unusually cold and young asparagus plants came late at the end of April...5-6 years ago, a few years in a row were hot and dry and season was from the second half of February... :) every year something new... have a good day and lot of fun :)

Thank you :) very much. Glad you like this photo stories filled with insects.
Wow! Those pics are simply amazing... I never manage to get those creatures to sit still while I'm trying to a take a picture, lol
Beautiful photos! Well done noticing this many different creatures. There's so much beauty in our world what we miss because we are constantly rushing around. I do sometimes like to stop and see what beautiful is around.
Thanks. Glad you take notice of these small things. It's kind of meditation, to be concentrated on structures of small flowers, the work of ants or patterns on the butterfly wings. Very healing thing.
