#SilentSunday near #LikaLodge : forest strawberries , May blossoms , young trees & wild flowers : overwhelm of tastes, touch & fragrances : almost unbearable happiness!
I’ve chosen this morning to cycle to “town” based on weather forecast (raining y’day & will rain tomorrow) & dwindling food supplies - but - apparently it’s a holiday in Croatia & shops are closed! Still : enjoying early lunch & sun & the river :) #LikaLodge
Rainy day at #LikaLodge : I’ve mostly tended fire & cooked, emailed a bit - and I got the best surprise in the evening: the dog is back!!! 🥰🐕🌈 (I’ve made elderflower syrup & half-baked pizza …)
Good morning from #LikaLodge : stone ecosystems edition! Delightful little “gardens” that remind me of Japanese styled arrangements & #bonsai … but IRL! Succulents, mosses, water pools … all before 6AM! Life is great!
Plants & animals this dawn near #LikaLodge : (possibly?) magic mushrooms that grow on sh!t , prickly beauty , & the face of the mountains! Bountiful nature after the rains! Plus all the birds I cannot see - but I hear them: so loud & clear!
(backlog of #LikaLodge photos, now that I have 4G) : On my penultimate day I found abundance of #mushrooms, that did spring out after the rain! & they do indeed grow in fairies circles! & in 6-packs! & with pines! … now I know where to find them next time I’m in Lika… (on Greda!)
#interRail trip continues… but first, impressions from #etc : I’ve enjoyed meeting strong women , but there was always trees in the background for me… I am taking inspiration from the turtles for the slowness… I attended the workshop about resting! And then I left… I was on the #train station on time .. -> going to #LikaLodge again!!!
Illustrated (edited: planned) #InterRail trip : Berlin - Augsburg, then night train to Zagreb, then bus to Gračac, then e-bike to #LikaLodge! Almost 24h door-to-door!
I arrived in Lika! So so happy! Also tired ;) i travelled almost 24h in one go, to get here from Krakow. #InterRail & some (Flix) busses… #LikaLodge#Totoro
Domestic bliss at #LikaLodge : It’s #raining. I made a bed for the #Dog. #Bike is here too, covered a bit. #Fireplace & #tea. This morning I had breakfast at sunrise, under #Lipa / #Linden . Earlier I made a room-divider from a #patchwork curtain I got at #DeGrowth conference last year. Memories & fantasies… plus enjoying the moment!
I’ve used this heart-shaped hole in the rain pattern to go for a walk near #LikaLodge & I had a great time with the #Dog ! We found a beautiful #lilac bush , so tonight my bedroom will have delicious smell…. 🪻💐🌸
Good morning! It’s full of unusual occurrences! It’s Ortodox Christian #Easter , and although I am not religious, I like the tradition of coloring eggs! marked with leaves & flowers & cooked in henna, so now I have tie-dyed socks ;) Plus the eggs were approved of by The Dog! … now I’ll share them with SIX MORE PEOPLE - who are not family! - friends of Nina &Vedran ! We are truly #celebrating abundance of nature & love & life, while surrounded by birds & #mountains & trees & sunshine! #LikaLodge
