My Route for a Walk

I sometimes take a walk in my neighborhood, which is as a little travel for me.
Takin a walk is usually not call a travel, some may say like that.
But I often enjoy taking a walk more than what they call a walk.

I can find something interesting

While taking a walk in the neighborhood, you will see many things you’re accustomed to see, landscapes, houses, buildings, nature, and the like.

And sometimes you must be tired of looking at such things.
So, you sometimes want to leave home to go to travel in other places.

However, when you go to travel meny more times there, aren’t you tired of doing that, going travel?
Acturally, I do bilieve so.
And so, I think this way: to solve such a matter, we should take into consideration our way of thinking.
Namely, what we find interesting may be just around us.
If we want, we can find something interesting even when we take a walk just around our neighborhood.

Rich seasonal transition

Our country is well-known for its rich seasonal transition of many things, ranging from natural landscapes to human activities.

Aside from that, we can see many mere things just aroud us, weeds, insects, birds, animals, and so on.
I can even find something in a ditch arong with a narrow path.
In spring, I can find many little creatures in some ditches. Fortunately, clear water runs down in even some ditches in my neighborhood , thanks to just a small number of locals living.

When I was in my childhood

So, I don’t think such ditched in my neighborhood is so dirty even now.
In fact, as I was little, I saw many of my friends join and play around or even in the ditches, catching crubs and even little fishes, using nets with a bamboo stick.
I also had a good time participating in them to catch creatures, spending a lot of time until sunset.

I enjoy remembering my old days while taking a walk

Such mere landscapes has little changed since my childhood, and when I take a walk in my neigborhood, I can find the same landscapes as in my childhood.

On second thought, I’ve got to got used to think more complicate things and the way to think more complicately, but the more complicate way of thinking we get used to, the simpler things we want to enjoy ourselves with, right?

When I took a walk near my house, where I have been living since I was born, on a bottom of a small ditch by the path I found something interesting.
What do you think it is?
I’ll reserve the answer: that’s a secret!
