I thought a lot about the proper title for this poll. Photos are taken on a stormy day, when heavy rain literally poured from the sky. Thunders were so loud that I thought skies could fell down. Frequent lightening emphasized the whole, a bit apocalyptic scenery. Still, nature was so beauty and divine in this few hours of its ”rage”, as we, the humans, like to describe those pure natural weather mood changes. All was so clear and pure.
This ”jungle” is a patch of no-man’s-land under my back window and I enjoy in that view. Truth to be told, this is the window I never dare to open, because of a whole family of lizards who live on the balcony and zillion species of insects that are dwelling in dense vegetation. But the vegetation itself is magnificent. I can recognize one really old walnut tree, a few willows and plenty of acacias. And all these trees are wrapped in miles and miles of blackberry vines and bindweed. Not to mention nettles, bulrush and some plants I have never seen before. This abundance of flora withdrew equal multitude in fauna. At least when it comes to birds. Never before I have heard more beautiful nightingale’s song, nor seen prettier little birds of any kind. Last week, a stark flew over my house and before that, my daughter and I observed, for a several minutes, a heron fishing in the river.
Being a real city girl, sometimes I feel like I moved to a Wonderland. And unlike Alice, I like it more and more every day I spend here.

Super pictures … I also had a walnut tree
That’s great but this walnut is not mine. In fact, it grows on a no-man’s-land which is pretty wild and hard to approach. 🙂
I think your green environment will grow and generate a lot of inspiration
I hope so. 🙂 I really like the view. 🙂
bet your cats love living next to a jungle
Not so much. After being scratched by numerous blackberries they completely lost interest for that place. 😀 The most of their interaction is when cats are laying on a wall and observe the wilderness. 😀
I guess you CAN take the jungle out of the cat
I hope so. 🙂 My cats showed to be pretty wild in hearts. 😀
can’t be all that wild if they fear the jungle
We use to have to help our mom pick walnuts off the ground, and it was exhausting. of course we were kids lol.
Sounds interesting, but tiresome. 🙂 I don’t dare to enter that part of land, because it’s too wild and bushy. In fact, I doubt I could even manage to step there because of too dense vegetation, mostly those with thorns. 😀
These are cool photos, even if it is a jungle. Would love to have a walnut tree.
Thanks. 🙂 I love walnut trees, because of the specific smell of their leaves and shadows they make but this tree is completely beyond my reach, because of thorny vines all around it.
That is too bad. It takes so much time to maintain a yard especially with big trees and bushes.
It’s no-man’s-land, so nobody has ever taken care of those plants. They just grow whenever they can, occupying territory inch by inch…
