*abandoned

There was this place,

it felt so abandoned –

I instantly fell in love with it.

*island pag

The next stop we had in Starigrad-Paklenica. We stayed at a nice little camping site located in a cypress grove with lots of wild birds chattering and flying around all day. It was quite windy most of the time, but a warm, pleasant wind.

Then we reached island Pag and found a lovely, familiar camping site located next to the beach and lots of wild nature around. There were no shops or anything near, so it was never crowded. We explored every direction and I collected some pretty stones and sea glass.

*Klenovica

First we made a stop in Klenovica. There was a path next to the ocean where you could walk endlessly in the warmest evening light. I loved all the dry flowers and grasses there. The sea was calm and you could see island Krk in the distance.

*wild meadows and fruit trees

I love wild meadows with fruit trees. It's rarer here than where I grew up. I always keep my eyes open for places like that on my walks.

*snail universe

We had more snails than usual in our garden this year, so I had lots of opportunities to observe them. Their world is like a whole other universe. The Roman snail can live up to thirty years! But in the wild they usually don't reach that age.

*late summer

Life is full of contrasts.

Here I hold the late flower of a thistle.

I can't imagine anything

that feels softer!

Resting in the light.

*simple matters

The gossamer-winged is one of my favorite butterflies. Luckily I have lots of them in the garden. Before I went on vacation, I cleaned out most of the greenhouse to give my bitter melon and luffa plant more space. And it worked, my luffa developed well since then and produced really nice fruits. I am curious if I can extract a sponge from them again! In one of a mixed flower seed package were seeds of those bright yellow-red flowers. I haven't seen them here before, but I knew them from Sandras Blog, they are growing wild in her surrounding.

*summer solitude

Windy rooms,

swallow mail,

angel signs,

and summer solitude.
