In the search of water

Do you ever get that feeling in your body when you need to get out and
embrace the moment and enjoy yourself however you´d like?

I brought my girlfriend out do some quick location scout for fishing and a potencial camping spot
it ended with an hour and a half wandering around on game trails, old hunting grounds.
None the less I had fun and I hope she had as well even if the cold weather is a constant reminder as winter is approaching. 

After a short hike we arrived at a pond where they use to hunt ducks, as we approached the pond we could hear a loud quackeling sound and after a second or two we saw this massive cloud of ducks fly away to another part of the pond, it was a breathtaking and beautiful sight - unfortunally I don´t have a real camera so couldn´t get close enough to get a decent photo of them. 

Found this old shutgun shell on the ground by the pond.

We decided to enter a small game trail away from the pond in search of the river and after a few minutes we finally arrived by the river side, it was so quiet and peaceful we followed the river for a few hundred meters but couldn´t find a suiteble location to camp.
Part from a little glade but there was fresh marks from wild boars so didn´t want to camp on their feeding ground.

This river is known for it´s carp-fishing even though I didn´t tend to fish for it, but they get pretty big, you can also get some trout and even salmon if you fish a little bit away from where the river meet the ocean. 

By the river side, squeezed myself through some thorny bushes to get a decent
photograph.

 As we journeyed back to the car I stumbled across a up dug field where the boars had fed and under a small pine tree I could see this red little thing on the ground so I went to see what it was, and I saw this little Amanita muscaria growing beneath a small pine tree.

Couldn´t resist to take a photo of it sence it reminds me of a power up mushroom from the game Super Mario haha.

As dusk approached we wandered, hand in hand back to the car, still in the search of water.
