ColorChallenge - FridayBlue - On the Road in Bulgaria - The Southern Countryside and Asenovgrad
This post is part of the #colorchallenge organized by @kalemandra.
I have been sporadic as well as all over the place when posting about my recent 2 1/2 month trip through Holland, Czech Republic, Hungary and Bulgaria with @brentssanders. We saw so many places in such a short time that it has shot to shit (pardon my French) my normal, organized, sequential way of telling a story. I have given up and am going to post things as I am moved to do so and I think I am the only one who will truly care about that. So...on I go!
Check out this stone mushroom we found near Beli Plast. A Bulgarian folk tale says these whimsical formations are the severed heads of four sisters who resisted the Ottomans. Neat, huh? They could just be the result of eons of weathering/erosion. You can decide for yourself but hey are very cool either way. Look for more on this interesting spot in a future post.
The is the Church of the Holy Mother of God at the Asenovgrad Fortress. It was built in the 12th & 13th centuries and is the most well preserved part of the fortress. (Look for a future post featuring more on the church.)
I found this puff ball among thorns in a quick road side stop. It was a gorgeous day for a walk in the woods...we enjoyed the warm weather and the last bits of fall colors.

The third photo is amazing!
Thank you! We ended up finding some of those quiet country roads you spoke about. What a great trip!!!
What a surprise! You remember me, thank you.
Of course and you're very welcome!
Thank you, wait your future trips and posts!
You are so kind! I have so many pics to post from my 2 1/2 months in Bulgaria...there will certainly be many more posts. :)
I can not wait. This year I was only three days in Bulgaria to Sozopol. Wow, 2 1/2 month, I think you already speak...Bulgarian!
And I thought it was a lama on the first photo :p
A weird looking lama :D
LOL! A llama with a probllama! ;)

Looking nice. At first I thought that the first photo was some kind of atomic bomb explosion haha
