This is how people most often react to the sight of a toadstool. Of course, such opinions are fueled by profound ignorance, even backwardness. The dots on the cap are remnants of the egg and sheath from which the toadstool grows. Sometimes you can…madventure in # blurt • 2 days ago • 2 min readAutumn day and just as beautiful, keep it upToday was a classic walk through the park, nothing fancy. But in addition to the birds, two squirrels appeared. And considering the squirrels I know from the park, they didn't look red. Dzisiaj klasyczny spacer po parku, bez żadnych udziwnień. Ale oprócz ptaków pojawiły się dwie wiewiórki.

I encountered the plant while on safari in the Wadi Rum desert in Jordan. This annual, perennial plant grows in many parts of the world in sandy soils and deserts.

For me, it could be minus 20 degrees Celsius during the day, but as long as the sun shines, that's fine with me. As for today's walk, it was a bit less intense, but not out of reluctance, but rather because I…madventure in # blurt • 5 days ago • 2 min readThe beautiful Polish autumn will never get boringAnother dose of beautiful autumn views, captured in mid-October, continues to evoke positive emotions in me.

The ruby bolete owes its name to the cap, or rather its surface, which often turns red. Both species are quite common in European forests, but their locations and seasons of occurrence differ…madventure in # blurt • 9 days ago • 1 min readNovember day, it couldn't be worseThe weather has been terrible since morning. Rain, humidity around 95%, and a piercing cold. It's okay for a walk, but not so much for sitting on a bench. These are the kinds of days you quickly want to forget. It's good that we still have a rose garden, where many flowers and roses have retained their color. This provides some comfort…madventure in # blurt • 10 days ago • 1 min readThe autumn edition of the Chorzów Ethnographic ParkLike every year, I visit the Chorzów Open-Air Museum, and this time was no exception.

Always very cautious and skittish, today it was tempted to eat from my hand.

The weather was very kind, even beautiful in the sun for this time of year. So I felt great after almost 10 hours of sleep and ready for my first walk in the park, which may not be impressive, but for me it was satisfying. My first steps, of course, were to the park to…madventure in # blurt • 16 days ago • 2 min readFirst day in Jordan - MadabaThe first few days in Jordan were exhausting. A tiring journey on a cramped Ryanair plane, followed by a drive in a car with an automatic transmission, which I drove for the first time in my life, through terrain completely unfamiliar to me, to a town called Madaba, where we spent our first night.

Waking up at 2 a.m. to catch a 6:50 flight to Krakow. A three-hour flight, lengthy check-ins, buying a SIM card and picking up a car, and then driving to Madaba. The city is not very pretty, but interesting from a historical perspective.
