Wednesdays are made for walking!
... I was feeling a little overwhelmed while planning and packing for an upcoming road trip, so, a walk in nature and sitting by the lake was a brilliant idea to calm my mind.

Adding a little mischief in the mix, I ventured onto a new route where there were no dog walkers. Although there was an obvious path, I got the strong feeling that it might have been private land in some areas, however, there was no obvious sign with warnings of being shot, so I took the chance.
I made it out alive!

Along the main road, parked in the yard of a block of apartments, was this Nissan Figaro. They are not everyone's cup of tea, but I quite like them for their vintage look.
Isn't the flower display by the window beautiful?
Perfectly coordinated with the car.

Decoy Country Park and Lake
I thought I was crazy for being outdoors in the cold, but when I arrived at the park, I was amazed to see several families enjoying the kiddies facilities, and exploring the surrounding nature.
Coffee First!
I went straight to the snack bar and ordered a cappuccino, which was a delightful surprise — rich and strong with a satisfying bitter taste, like that of dark chocolate.
Strolling along, I noticed that the pontoons were unlevelled due to high waters after recent heavy and continuous rain, so I trodded carefully.
Lovely scenes of nature that I took in.

Scary little bastard, isn't it?

This owl carving demanded my attention because the owl looked so angry. Still, I liked the clever mushrooms, which served as comfortable seating for me to sit and drink my coffee.

An abundance of nature, and a popular area for dog walkers, or just about anything you please.

I sat by the water and sipped my coffee slowly, as I watched some little kids having fun. I felt a real sense of happiness and calmness, as my mind was restored.

As tempting as it was, daylight was quickly disappearing, so I took a stroll back home, in a better state of mind to pack my bags and be ready for the journey.

I'm looking forward to having some lovely walks around Leicester City.

That's all for now, until my next post!
Thank you for stopping by, always:)))
