secret pathway

Near our home is a hidden pathway. It is enclosed by trees and garden on one side and a canal and the highway on the other side, what makes it withdrawn from the eye of people passing by. Every time I go for a run, or W and I take a walk in the neighborhood, this is the route we take. It is such a lovely and quiet place in the middle of the city. I like to think that it is our secret path :)

Because of all the rain last month, and the loads of sun the last weeks, everything has started to grow. The banks of the canal are overgrown with cow parsley, and the hogweeds have made a small jungle. I picked some cow parsley to take home with me, and it is now standig in a vase on my dining table. Strange names do these plants have in English, I like the Dutch names fluitenkruid and berenklauwen more, they sound almost fairylike.

A couple of days after I made these photos, all the hogweeds was cut down. So happy I was just in time to make the photos.
