After several months without the possibility of going to the mountain due to the Covid restriction, yesterday, one of my best friends and I went to Gran Paradiso National Park.
It is a place that I know quite well, and I have a few friends living near it.
My primary intention was to meet a friend, but I take some time to take some pictures.
They are nothing special, and yesterday was a rainy day, some small drop during the early morning, a lot after lunch.
Chamois and ibex are shedding their fur.
They are at a low altitude because above the snow has just melted, leaving the grass burnt by the cold, while below it grows fresh and luxuriant.
Going up with the car, we ran into a herd of chamois, at least twenty. We parked and walked up into the meadows. Nothing challenging; anyone could get there.
Just enough time to take some pictures, and then we moved to another place, further down the valley, hoping to find the fox or at least something more "valuable". But nothing, we saw a small bird, its name in the Italian language is Rampichino (Certhia familiarise), two black squirrels running in the middle of the woods and we found the wolf tracks. We climbed a little but even looking carefully with the binoculars; nothing was interesting above us, so we returned to the first place.
