Autumnal colors & little update on our situation

about 1 year ago

Hey there my Hive friends and followers!

It has been really hard for me to watch my Hive time being reduced to the point where I sometimes struggle to even keep my two weekly series alive. It has already been months since some major changes happened in my life but the one that relates to Hive and the time that I can spend here has been really difficult to get used to. It´s still frustrating not to be able to engage here as much as I was used to when I was (trying to be) a fulltime Hiver. But I don´t want this post to turn into some whiney rant. It´s supposed to be an update. And pictures. Beautiful autumnal colorful pictures. Because that´s exactly what you can see out there in nature here in Central Europe these days. So let´s go for a walk first.

It was yet another beautiful sunny day here yesterday. I had some errands to run but I managed to save up some two hours for a little walk too. Soon after the lunch, I wasted no time and headed out to the Prokop Valley, an amazing place that you might already be familiar with from my nature photography challenge as I often take pictures there to open the new rounds of the challenge. The Prokop Valley is a large nature reserve on the outskirts of Prague and the apartment that we are currently staying at is just some 20 minutes walk from the valley so I go there very often.

This year, autumn has been delayed by a couple of weeks and it was not until recently that we finally started to see the trees putting on their colorful autumnal coats. Usually, this spectacular seasonal phenomenon happens in late September but it was still too warm back then this year so it took place a bit later. Now, however, autumn is already in full control and it´s really beautiful out there. Let me show you some of the pictures that I took on my walk yesterday. I actually took more but for some weird reason, my (ancient) phone camera cannot handle certain shades of red and purple that are quite typical for this part of the year. The phone just wouldn´t focus on the leaves with such colors. Weird, I know. Maybe it´s finally time to get a new phone. Will see how much the price of Hive will increase in the current crypto uptrend hehe :) Anyway, here are the pictures...

I hope you enjoyed the photos. As usually when doing a photo shoot in nature, I experimented with the angles a little bit. I think the low angles and the "canopy angles" didn´t turn out that bad :)

As for the update on our current situation, I originally didn´t want to bother you with our IRL stuff again but since some of you guys asked, I decided to write a few lines here so that you know. The official due date is literally just a few days from now so it can basically happen anytime now. I think we already got all the stuff that is recommended for those expecting their first baby (btw it was not easy at all, if we break it down to individual items, we are talking about hundreds of pieces here, I think I never owned that much stuff myself! :D) so now it´s more just about the anticipation of the big day. We still have some doctor appointments and consultations scheduled for the next few days but it all now depends on when the baby decides to come. We both cannot wait for the moment when she will be here with us, also because the final stage of the pregnancy has been really hard and quite painful for my wife but that´s normal I guess. Once our daughter is here with us, I will let you know guys. Thank you so much for your concerns and best wishes, we really appreciate it :)
