Florida Afternoon

I frequently pass through certain streets of the city of Barquisimeto where I find many flowers, especially at this time of the year, which lately have been favored, since it has rained almost every day, something unusual for an area whose predominant climate is semi-arid.

Therefore, certain weeds began to appear between the cracks in the road some homeowners have allowed this type of plant to take over the sidewalk in front of their homes, since this community is usually very attentive to the cleanliness of its surroundings, however, I appreciate this decision, because it is so beautiful to appreciate the simplicity and beauty of these flowers that do not ask for anything, just to be left to exist.

Apparently, I am not the only one, grateful for such a decision, also these bees, which were feasting yesterday afternoon, these insects are very industrious, they know no working hours.

Sometimes we humans, with our eagerness for neatness, tend to eliminate everything that disturbs us, especially certain herbs, because we have classified them as bad, when in fact they only want to exist to serve as food for insects and other living beings, but we do not see that, we only wish that no one comes to alter the world we built, in decline of others without caring about the disruption and damage that this has cost to other species.

In short, these are actions that we regret over the years, not all of us, of course, because it is well known that some people do not care about the consequences of their predatory actions.

But nature is always silently occupying any space that is empty, persistently recovering them, continually reminding us that we are just another inhabitant, not the owners of this wonderful planet and with a little common sense, as well as conscience, we can live together in harmony, with balance, without having to eliminate other beings in order to live in peace.

To culminate this flowery walk, I ended up snacking on a donut of candied fruit with a good coffee.
