Somewhere in the middle of Romania, there is a lake where you can swim with ducks. It’s a special heliothermal lake, unique in Europe. The water at the surface is cold but at the bottom it gets warmer, because of the salt. This is why swimming is allowed only a few hours a day, with … Continue reading Bear Lake
Up Close
Quality macro photography is quite hard to achieve without a tripod. It’s so hard to stay crouched in the grass and keeping the camera still at the same time. I could have done better. I did a little better when I photographed the butterflies, it was raining lightly, the air was fresh, it was overcast … Continue reading Up Close
{from the garden} The Pretty Yellow Flowers
This little boy loves flowers. Roses are his favourites but he said these yellow flowers were pretty too. By the way, can anyone tell me their name? (Note to self: buy that app that tells you the name of all plants) Also from the garden: water for bees, greenery and a yellow leaf. It’s full … Continue reading {from the garden} The Pretty Yellow Flowers
The Baby Chicks
The baby chicks are actually tweens now. They get along well with Abi and Abi is always so excited to be able to pick them up all by himself. Until a while ago, little Abi wanted to be a cat, always meowing and acting like a kitty – I loved it. But ever since the … Continue reading The Baby Chicks
Coco and the Red Box (and a treat)
Another ruined board game… The kids left it on the floor. Abi, my little boy, scattered the pieces (I think Felix helped with that, too) and Coco used the box as a bed. In another train of thoughts, I bought myself a treat. Some ladies buy shoes. Others eat cake. I buy yarn. 🙂 — … Continue reading Coco and the Red Box (and a treat)
{Throwback Thursday} Giola Lagoon
Giola is a natural rocky pool on Thassos Island, in Greece. We went there a few years back and it was an amazing experience. It is also called the mermaids’ pool. It’s quite deep but the water is emerald green, crystal clear and calm. It’s not a place for little kids though. The road to … Continue reading {Throwback Thursday} Giola Lagoon
Procrastinating
I have so many things to do. Among many others, a few projects to finish… I also need to declutter a few areas of my house because we are going to move in a few months. But it’s like my brain and my hands froze. I can’t focus on anything. Anything! So many things to … Continue reading Procrastinating
{from the garden} Ducks
Surprisingly, the ducks posed for me. I thought they would freak out but they were curious. Ducks are so funny, by the way. They walk funny and talk funny and have a very high level of adorableness. Even higher than the chickens, I dare to say. While the chickens look like they’re always grumpy, ducks … Continue reading {from the garden} Ducks
Coco
I am rewriting some of my old posts that were lost when my previous blog died. This is Miss Coco Cattel. She is two years old, likes dry food and bacon – she is actually a very picky eater. She is very, very shy, only my little girls and I can touch her. And when … Continue reading Coco
