Walking exploring nature is my pleasure. Instead of walking to the beach, I prefer to go to the forest. Hearing the chirping of birds, or the sound of animals such as insects shouting to one another, really made my soul feel peaceful.

Yes, last Sunday together with my friend, we went to explore nature in the forest located in Blang Weu Panjoe, a village which is still within the area of my town, Lhokseumawe. My friend said, in the forest, there are many interesting insects that can be captured using a camera.

To get to the location, we had to pass through a muddy rice field. When walking through the rice fields with the hot weather that stung the skin, several times the leeches stuck themselves between my toes, they were like dracula thirsty for blood. But still, it was an exciting journey.

It wasn't long before we arrived at the location. After taking a short break because we were tired of walking, only then did we spread out among the bushes to find photo objects that were considered interesting.

The forest is surrounded by rice fields, it looks like an island in the middle of the ocean. The first thing I found there was a variety of flora, such as soursop plants, bandicoot berries, clover, Asian pigeonwings, etc.

It is true that my friend said, the forest is not only overgrown with wild flora, but also many beautiful insects. I found various species of butterflies, dragonflies, planthoppers, beetles, etc. What about wild beasts? I didn't find them at all. Perhaps, because the forest was located not far from the settlements of the villagers.

It's an exciting adventure when you find a variety of flora and fauna that are unique and strange. It didn't feel like the 3 hours I was there and it was quite tiring, but I documented lots of weeds and insects. Of course, the stock photos are sufficient for photography content on my Hive Blog for a week.[]

I love the vacation in the countryside too. When you forget the hustle and bustle of the city, the rushing cars. You want to stop for a moment and enjoy the moment.
The beauty of nature and everything that surrounds you. Our world has become very material, people forget how to notice simple things. Like a sunset, a rainbow after a rain...
