*greenhouse

When all was still in full bloom.

This year I had a sunflower in the greenhouse. Not really essential, but fun :) Everything ripened super fast, but also started to wither earlier, because of the long and steady heatwave we had. Nearly no rain at all! The first grapes were ripe at the end of July! That's crazy!

When I'm at the beach I can't resist collecting all kinds of things there, natural sponges, shells, pretty stones and sea glass. It's perfect to free the head from all worries and pains.

There were many amazing viewpoints and the villages where so charming with their old buildings. I love their simplicity!

Evening strolls at the beach. I loved all the stones with all their natural engraved ornaments originated over centuries.

*Dugi Otok | part 1

This year we decided to explore the Croatian island Dugi Otok in our summer vacation. It is the largest island among the North Dalmatian islands (45km long and between 1 to 4 km wide) and has a beautiful big nature park with a natural salt lake and there are no big cities or crowded places, actually there are only a view small villages and two camping sites, that opened only a few years ago. We stayed at the camping site at the light house in the north of the island and explored bit by bit the whole island with our van and by foot.
