We're very late with Friday's post ; but here you are!
The delay was due to that we spent a day out at the
Bugac Puszta, which is part our region's National Park. Before we continue this photo heavy post. Let's understand the meaning of Bugac Puszta
Bugac is the largest separate area of the Kiskunsag National Park. A region with a wealth of outstanding natural beauty and environmental value, the Bugac area includes the highly protected Native Juniper Grove (Osborokas), sand dune forests and sand plains, marshes, bogs, boggy meadows, wet grasslands, sodic lakes and sodic plains. The sand-dune forests of junipers and poplars accommodate numerous rare species of plants and animals.
Puszta, the most common meanings of the word ‘puszta’ in Hungarian are: desolate, dreary, barren, treeless flat country.

Horses are amazingly smart creatures, aren't they? (Coincidentally I posted about horses today too!) Great post! It's fun to see your Hungarian heritage come to life.
