I found this little butterfly in a small pool of sea water formed in the rock. What a sad end it had! It looked like frozen.

More beautiful finding was these lovely cyclamen that I found in a pine forest near the rock beach.

Last week my husband and I had an unexpected short holiday in Ulcinj that we spent with our friends at their invitation. The weather was great and we had a wonderful time together. In the next few posts I will show you some photos so that you can see more of Ulcinj itself. This was the first time I visited this beautiful and charming place and I completely enjoyed.

My son's wedding

2011-09-06T22:47:00.012+02:00

Big hello to all,

I've been absent for so long as a blogger but it wasn't my intention to be so. It's just happened. I was occupied with some other things; some were nice and some were less nice. The most beautiful out of all is that my older son got married and that happy couple live near us but in their own house which construction was completed only several days before their wedding.

I've missed you all and I hope that I will be able to catch up with your posts soon.

Thank you very much to all of you who didn't forget me. It is wonderful feeling to know that people think of you and care for you. For that reason, big hug and kisses I am especially sending to my dear bloggers: Zondra Art - Rijeka, Sandra, S. Etole, Anna and Titania.

Girls, your messages mean me a lot.

Veliki pozdrav svima,

Dugo sam bila odsutna kao blogerica, ali mi to nije bila namjera. Jednostavno se tako dogodilo. Bila sam okupirana nekim drugim stvarima; neke su bile lijepe, a neke manje lijepe. Najljepša od svih je da se moj stariji sin oženio i da sretni mladenci žive blizu nas ali u njihovoj vlastitoj kući čija je izgradnja završena samo nekoliko dana prije njihovog vjenčanja.

Sve sam vas poželjela. Nadam se da ću biti u mogućnosti da vidim vaše postove što prije.

Veliko hvala svima vama koji me niste zaboravili. Predivan je osjećaj kad znaš da ljudi misle i brinu za tebe. Zbog toga, posebno šaljem veliki zagrljaj i poljupce mojim dragim blogericama: Zondra Art - Rijeka, Sandra, S. Etole, Anna and Titania.

Djevojke, vaše poruke mi puno znače.

Hello, dear friends! I know, I have been frozen for some time; I haven't been an active blogger and my camera was abandoned too. Still, I managed to take some photos of snowdrops from my garden. The first photo was taken on sunny April 1 and other sometime in March. Hopefully I will catch up with your posts, soon.

Travnik at dusk

2011-01-13T20:50:00.006+01:00

Our way back from Vlašić to Sarajevo leads us through historic and charming town Travnik, a birth place of novelist Ivo Andrić who was the winner of the Nobel Prize in Literature.

When ever my husband and I pass by Travnik we always drop in the place called “Šumeća” named after a creek “Šumeće”, which name is associated with murmur of water. The other name for this place and not any less known, is “Plave vode” (Blue Waters) but I don’t know why because the water is more white than blue; it is sparkling because of its small rapids.

There is a small restaurant in this place called “Lutvina kahva” (Lutvo’s coffee) where we use to eat “ćevapčići” (small grilled meatballs) and then to enjoy in a coffee while listening to the gurgle of water. This small restaurant was visited by Rudolf Habsburg in June 1887 on his way around Bosnia. On that occasion he left a goldfinch for exceptionally delicious coffee. It is said that the owner kept the goldfinch years later in a special showcase along with a little coffee pot and a coffee cup from which a magnificent prince drank. The original owner and builder long, long time ago was a man named Lutvo. He surely didn’t have a clue that his cafe would survive till today. This place is really refreshing in hot summer days but it also has its charm in the winter.

These photos show how I saw this place at dusk on the foggy January.

Vlašić Mountain

2011-01-10T22:47:00.006+01:00

Second day of January was foggy in the city so my husband and I decided to run away to Vlašić Mountain to enjoy the sun and fresh mountain air. But, to our surprise it was foggy up there too. All the beauty of this really beautiful mountain was hidden by the fog. I hoped to show you some of that beauty; but, maybe some other time.

Meeting of blogging friends

2011-01-06T21:01:00.009+01:00

Yesterday I had a great pleasure to meet my blogging friend Arba who lives in an island Rab in Croatia. This was the first time for me to see any of my blogging friends in private and I can say that it is very exciting and interesting experience. She came with her family several days ago to spend their winter vacation in Jahorina Mountain. Yesterday she visited old part of Sarajevo where we met after my working hours and had our first coffee together. Arba is beautiful young lady and a mother of two sweet little girls. I am sorry that we couldn’t spend some more time together but little girls got tired so they had to go back to Jahorina.

Not only Arba is beautiful and friendly but also she is a creative, so kind and thoughtful person. She surprised me with beautiful gift she brought for me. As you can see in the photos , that is beautiful wooden box that she decorated in decoupage technique. She knew that I love the floral motifs. Isn’t it wonderful! There were shells and little stones in the box which she had collected on the beach with one of her sweet little daughters. This way she brought me the smell of the sea which I can feel only once a year during my summer holiday. In addition, I also was so glad to get lovely embroidered greeting card which is a handiwork of Benedictines of island of Rab.

Dear Arba, thank you one more time for the time we spent together and for really wonderful gifts that means me a lot.

Juče sam imala veliko zadovoljstvo da se vidim sa Arbom, mojom blog frendicom koja živi na otoku Rabu. Ovo je bio prvi put da uživo vidim nekog od mojih blog frendova i mogu vam reći da je to jako uzbudljivo i interesantno iskustvo. Prije nekoliko dana je došla sa svojom porodicom da provedu zimski odmor na Jahorini. Juče je posjetila stari dio Grada gdje smo se srele poslije mog radnog vremena i popile našu prvu zajedničku kaficu. Arba je predivna mlada dama i majka dvije preslatke djevojčice. Žao mi je što nismo mogle provesti više vremena zajedno, ali su se curice već umorile tako da su se morali vratiti na Jahorinu.

Arba nije samo lijepa i prijatna nego i kreativna, ljubazna i pažljiva osoba. Iznenadila me prekrasnim poklonom koji mi je donijela. Kao što možete vidjeti na fotografijama, to je predivna drvena kutija koju je sama dekorisala u decoupage tehnici. Znala je da volim cvijetne motive. Zar nije predivna? U kutijici su bile školjke i mali kamenčići koje je sakupila na plaži sa jednom od svojih slatkih kćerkica. Na ovaj način mi je donijela mirs mora koji mogu osjetiti samo jednom godišnje za vrijeme mog ljetnog odmora. Pored toga, obradovala sam se i predivnoj vezenoj čestitci koju su ručno izradile Benediktinke otoka Raba.

Draga Arba, još jednom ti hvala za vrijeme koje smo provele zajedno i za stvarno predivne poklone koji mi puno znače.

Happy new beginning
