Penedos, Me time

Penedos, Me time
CMT20 Sunday challenge - How would you spend some me time?

HIKING IN THE WILD IS WHAT KEEPS ME BALANCED. LOVE THE SILENCE ONLY INHABITED BY THE WIND, THE TINY NOISES MADE BY BUGS AND OTHER LITTLE OR BIGGER ONES I TRY NOT TO DISTURB. LOOK AT VEGETATION, HOW IT GROWS AND REACTS TO THE SEASONS, I KNOW WHICH POPS UP IN WHICH SEASON SO I LOOK FOR THEM. WHEN SUN COMES DOWN I SIT IN A BOULDER TO ADMIRE LAST DAYLIGHTS LIKE IN THE PHOTO ABOVE. THEN I HURRY BACK BECAUSE THE WAYS ARE HARD AND TRICKY, EVEN IF I HAVE A SURE FOOT BETTER NOT DO IT WITHOUT ANY LIGHT...

UNFORTUNATELY EACH YEAR THERE ARE LESS AND LESS ANIMALS, BIG LIZARDS, SMALL ONES, PARTRIDGES, RABBITS AND HARES, FOXES, MONGOOSES... EVEN OTHER BIRDS DESERTED THE AREA SINCE "CLEVER" ECOLOGISTS INTRODUCED LYNXES... AND THOSE BLOODY WILD CATS KILL EVERYTHING, SOME EVEN ENTERED THE VILLAGE AT NIGHT TO KILL THE POULTRY. ONE DAY THERE WILL BE ONLY BOARS AND LYNXES, BUT MEN HUNT BOARS, NOT LYNXES, SO GUESS WHAT WILL BE LEFT? HOPE I WILL BE DEAD BY THEN NOT TO SEE IT...

We don't have much rabbits any longer, year after year less and less... Problem for small dogs are a couple of Royal eagles hunting in the area...

We also have wild dogs, the dingoes, a danger to livestock, and occasionally, to humans, not to mention the other predators, pythons, and snakes in general. Every year we learn of various species becoming extinct, a never ending evolution.

Lovely image, Isabel, to go with your description of "me time", would be one of my favourite things to do as well.
