Softly as in a morning light.

*pastel ocean

 The last pictures of our Croatia trip.

The rocks have been so warm from storing the day sun.

The pastel colors, so soft and delightful.

September has gone by so incredible fast.

*between olive trees

In the south

the evening light

feels even more magical.

*Sveti Duh & surrounding

This part of island Pag did not feel like Croatia at all, it felt more like Egypt or another distant land. The dark clouds looked amazing above the white of the hills. The water was clear and refreshing.

*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.

In quietness all things are answered.

*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.
