The river

Monday November 2nd was a holiday in Asturias, so we took off to visit Fuensanta area. The drive from Oviedo was fast, not much traffic along the way... and the weather was like a spring day with the usual showers and brief shots of sunshine.

Getting there was easy and the directions proved right... we found free parking under the trees and noticed a fountain with the mineral water brand, where locals came to fill their plastic bottles... lining up.

I ventured into the forest that smelled so very good... taking shots at almost everything the camera could focus on, the colors were so dazzling... Yellows and browns, fading ochre and golden shades with bright green grass framing the dashes informed by the many falling leaves.

It was a nice walk with some splashes in the mad along the road up hill, until we encountered a naughty looking cow... it looked more like a bull with its short horns pointing straight ahead and so we stopped and pondered the way. Loud dogs in the neighborhood contributed to inform maybe this wasn't the day... and a light drizzle started to fall, so we paid attention to their barking.

We've found a great jogging spot then coming next spring... soon it'll be winter ... time to switch to ski moods and gear... and head it up the Pajares and San Isidro mountains!
