Greetings and hugs!
I’m here to share my walk from Wednesday, which gave me the chance to notice several things around the city. I want to start by saying that I stopped by a shopping mall for just a moment while I was waiting for the right time to pick up my son from school. Once inside the mall, I noticed a large “silleta” made of fresh flowers at the main entrance, bearing the mall’s name. This decoration is called a “silleta,” and it’s the centerpiece of the traditional Flower Festival held every year in Medellín, which ended last Sunday, August 9. However, the decorations remain in the city until the flowers wilt, at which point they’re removed.
The reason I enjoyed seeing this “silleta” was because this year I wasn’t able to attend any of the parades or activities at the festival. I usually go mainly for my youngest son, but I’ll have to wait until next year, God willing. So, I took the opportunity to enjoy looking at that “silleta” and took some photos to share with you all on hive.
I went into the mall to find a seat, and everything was decorated in the spirit of the flower fair. I was impressed to see how durable the flowers are and that the decorations still looked beautiful, considering they must have been on display for almost a month.
I spent a short time at the mall and then went to my son's school, and we walked home together from there. I saw a small but lush garden plant called “Corona de Cristo” with little red flowers; this type of plant is always in bloom, and it looked really nice tucked inside a black trellis.

As we continued on our way, we saw a truly impressive-looking tree. Judge for yourselves. Nature really is amazing.
And people do amazing things, too, because they make sure the trees don't cause problems in the city, and sometimes they have to prune them—and they also make use of the wood.
This walk was a bit long, but I had the chance to see and take photos of things that caught my eye so I could share them here on Hive, in the Wednesday Walks community.
Hugs!
