Good Tuesday, tree lovers!
Today I have a bunch of photos for the #treetuesday initiative by 
As I crossed the bridge of the river Lima in Ponte da Barca, I saw a lot of groups hiding under the trees. Friends and families were gathered on a Saturday afternoon to have picnics, chat about life, the universe and everything... and to play some games. Children were having fun, without a care in the world... completely oblivious of the dark and depressing future that was coming for them. 馃樂
The day was quite hot and the sun was shining so they were all under the shade of the trees, in a public park by the riverside.
They were able to escape the hotness of the sun... but they couldn't hide from my zoom. Like a wizard, my camera lens is just too powerful! 馃摲
That was the first shot where I used the camera... but I decided to use the full potential of the Lumix DC-TZ90 and zoom even more.
It was a nice capture already... but I wasn't done. I tested the maximum optical zoom of the camera: 20x. Now you can even read the letters of the pack of potato chips. Incredible! 馃槄
Here is another view from the park...
To better see what was going on down there, I used the zoom once more. These people brought a whole bunch of stuff for a picnic. Was all of that really necessary? 馃
After walking around the town for a while... I found the same group later on. As you can see below, the tables and the pack of stuff is the same, but the faces at the table are different. I guess this was a big family and they brought the whole gang together that day! 馃槉
Now I understood why they had such a huge pile of food and toys.
I didn't want to abuse too much so after this shot I left them in peace, so they could resume their picnic without the prying eyes of the mysterious paparazzi. 馃榿
I hope you liked these shots!
