It's been a long time since I was so far from anything that I couldn't hear the sound of cars anymore. It was in search of this, that prompted me to take a hike (literally) and see if I could just find some wilderness to peacefully enjoy. Thankfully, Rome provided exactly what I was looking for. Unfortunately, I had to stumble through a Gypsy camp to find it. It was not like you'd imagine, instead of painted caravans and wily old storytellers there was mostly just garbage and feces. I did not take any photos of the Gypsy camp, nor did I linger, I did not feel remotely safe. Check out the beauty of nature though.
Follow the path
Cool, scrubby, triffid-looking things growing through some serious brambles
Hey look, flowers. wow.
Wild flowers are great, no pattern, just color.
Lavender, if I had to guess (which I did)
Moss, not being on the north side of a tree. The boy scouts lied to me. Actually it was more like lichen and I was never a scout.
That cluster of buildings way out there is the area where I live. It was a nice hike.
This is where it started to get a little more developed
These were the only people I saw on my hike, excluding the filthy Gypsies. (also, note St. Peter's in the background)
Boom! Color.
Pretty trees are like really slow fireworks
Bonus picture! An old pic of Constance and I
Go out, grab some nature, you'll be better for it. Until next time, Arrividerci!
