I usually take part in the contest organised by anri because I find them very useful for promoting the #Serey platform, on the one hand, and because they cover different issues, all of them interesting, on the other.

I had the opportunity to participate and be selected in the competition dedicated to World Cuisines, one of the best competitions in which I have participated, both for the quality of the works presented and for the quantity of them.

Apart from that, anri's competitions have a particularity: it is a theme (before it was the World Cuisine and today it is the Seasons of the Year) which is then divided into several publications - usually four - which gives them continuity.

This not only gives them a continuity in time that generally lasts a couple of months or more, but also gives them a solid and attractive structure that is very difficult to resist.

Having finished this first introductory part, I will now share with the whole #Serey community this post dedicated to spring in the Andean region of South America.

The rosehip is one of the first plants to bloom at the beginning of spring in the Andean region.

‬Diverse species of wild orchids give a special color to the region called the Andean region that includes the provinces of Rio Negro and Chubut in the strip located on both sides of the‭ ‬42nd parallel.‭

At any time of the year.‭ ‬In spring and autumn they are particularly beautiful.

‬Lake Epuyén towards the end of autumn,‭ ‬with its characteristic leaden sky and its crystalline and cold waters that come from the thawing of the Andes Mountains.‭

In autumn the cold begins to show with the fall of the leaves of the deciduous trees and in a real collage in the evergreen trees.

To the traditional green color‭ (‬in all its shades‭) ‬of the pines,‭ ‬larches,‭ ‬myrtles and all the other mountain species we must add the other plants that have been gradually incorporated into the region.

A typical Patagonian town with the characteristic gravel roads,‭ ‬the brown color of the leaves of the plants and in the background the first snow on the high peaks of the mountains.

‬A centennial myrtle plant in Lago Puelo National Park in early spring.‭

In the first case,‭ ‬the first buds and flowers are already beginning to appear.‭

‬The cherry trees of the Andean region are the first to display their white to pinkish flowers.‭

And in the second case the first snows are beginning to be seen in the high peaks.

The city of El Bolsón in the Andean region on the border with the province of Chubut,‭ ‬is one of the first localities,‭ ‬due to its condition of valley with a very special climate,‭ ‬to enjoy the benefits of spring.

The cherry tree is the emblematic plant of the Andean region and adorns most of the sidewalks in all the mountain towns and cities.‭

Spring,‭ ‬say the locals,‭ ‬is one of the best seasons because the trees begin to bloom immediately when in other places the buds are not even budding yet.‭

The same with the fruits.

The photos illustrating this post were taken in early spring.

The photos have been taken with my LG K40‭ ‬cell phone with the following features:

  • 13‭ ‬MP‭ (‬rear‭) ‬and‭ ‬5‭ ‬MP‭ (‬front‭) ‬camera with phase detection autofocus‭ (‬PDAF‭)‬.
  • 4x digital zoom
  • Support for PNG format images.

And they have not been modified with any image editing software.

Looking back, and evoking my childhood, I find this beautiful valley, calm, cozy, supportive, where we played without fear, we attended school, we met the neighbors, we enjoyed the simple things.

I will refer to the things I remember with the sharpness with which they marked.

The traditional Plaza Pagano, where the artisan exhibitions are held, today completely renovated.

First, wonderful parents who taught me to love and care for the chosen place to live.

An old wooden school, Nº 30, which will be one hundred years old this year, and some of those who were my teachers: Elvira de Guasco, Ema Prieto de Saldise, María Elena de Almeira, José Matías Otero, Francisco Camargo. But also the environment, the warehouses of "Don Casi", Korval and Ivanof, who because we were close to the school visited them to buy sweets.

Everything was harmonious in its growth. In summer or when the roads allowed, we received visits from family and friends who were amazed at the crystalline nature of our rivers and the majestic beauty.

Cerro Amigo is located 2 kilometers from the center of El Bolsón and can be accessed on foot or by car.

The traditional "Spanish Pilgrimages" organized by the Spanish Society were popular festivals that for several days were held in the fifth of Criado (where the Municipal Gymnasium and the Commercial School are now located).

The Spanish Society, like El Bolsón (1926) turns eighty-three years old and we are in the task of reorganizing it as a just tribute to so many Spaniards who gave it origin to keep their ties with Spain alive.

The Lebanese Society also met and maintained its traditions with lively festivals. The meetings at the Club "El Refugio" and "La Española" were a classic in El Bolsón. Also the Andean Piltrichitron Club and the ascent to the Refuge on foot.

The cherry blossom is an ephemeral spectacle and can be of different colors and shades.

The first means of transport with the difficulties of impassable roads, inclement weather bring to my mind names like Sarquetti, Del Agua, Tornero, Steiner, Granollers, Scasso and Diego González.

This is, roughly speaking, El Bolsón from before, the one that today turns eighty-three and has grown, almost, uncontrollably.

It is good to mention the work in those times of all its inhabitants, hospital, post office, Justice of the Peace, Police, Gendarmerie, schools, farmers, small ranchers and difficulties due to lack of communication and often isolation. And the formation of clubs, neighborhood councils and the institution worthy of praise such as Volunteer Firefighters.

El Bolsón is an Argentine city located in the Patagonian region, in the extreme southwest of the Río Negro province, and amidst a landscape of mountains, coniferous forests, rivers and lakes.

What would I like for El Bolsón?

· That it grows orderly. Let him recover his identity. That the norms of life that were the reason why so many people came in search of peace, tranquility, beauty and healthy life be respected and that they were enriching it commercially and culturally.

· That we can wake up again with the harmonious song of the birds and that we are not deafened by honking horns, drums, wild accelerations at dawn, music and noises that not everyone wants to hear.

· That its layout, its green spaces, its gabled roofs, its gardens, are not laden with garbage or turning into cement for comfort or weariness.

· Although the Artisan Fair is an indisputable attraction, with excellent artists, remember that before the fair there was a lifestyle that would be good to respect.

· I would like a more united people, working together for things of general interest, without politicizing each action or each project. beautiful valley, quiet, cozy and supportive.

The native peoples of Patagonia already knew and used the rose hip to hydrate the skin, heal wounds and treat various ailments.
