Other day I decided to soak in a little bit of sunshine and go for a photo walk. I shot most of the pics on film but while I’m waiting for films to get developed let me share a few digital photos from my walk to a local woods.

cat in snowEven thought there is still plenty of snow left…

tree…most of it melted away leaving puddles and mud!

flooded area
red berriesWoods is still full of these irresistibly photogenic red berries, they still look pretty even though it’s obvious they are dying…

mossMoss still looks pretty too!

lens flare…and so do lens flares :)

šafranIt was still challenging to find first spring flowers, but by the weekend I’m sure woods will be full of them!

So, this was a little glimpse  into a local flora and fauna :) I hope you liked and and I hope your enjoying some nice weather wherever you are.  Have a lovely Wednesday!

I love wandering around and exploring the city with a camera in my hand. Here are some completely random pics I took during recent photo walk.

red maskThis is  the least creepy mask displayed in front of one of the stores in Radićeva street. I believe all other mask I saw in said store were designed with only one purpose in mind: to give small children nightmares.

red pillows old benchA seemingly comfy bench in front of closed hair salon in one of the backyards in Radićeva street.

the right timeThis photo was taken in Gornji grad in yard of one of the branches of law school. I liked that simple old clock…

old clock…but what I liked even more was this old clock you can see if you wander up the stairs next to the entrance to law school. I coudn’t get a good photo of it since I used my 85mm lens, but that old Ludvik Hainz sure knew how to put together an interesting clock mechanism.

tulipsTulips, who wouldn’t like them? They look so pretty and elegant…

heavy metal door…unlike this “heavy metal” door which was spotted in one of the backyards  in Tkalčićeva street (if I can remember well).

all whiteOld white window, there is something nostalgic and maybe even romantic about it. Or it’s just an antiquated piece of carpentry, you decide.

oranges in the windowAnother old window that caught my attention, or to be precise a bowl of oranges caught my attention, I’ve must’ve been hungry.

basket case

I titled this pic : basket case.

a case of many basketsAnd this one: a case of many baskets.

dogI love dogs, and this one was so cute waiting for his owner so patiently I had to snap a picture of it!

pugHello there another canine friend! I like pugs but I think they are one of the rare breeds that look cuter when they grow up. I mean they are still cute as puppies but also kinda ugly at the same time :)

I wish you all happy Friday and great weekend. Do you have any plans? I’m about to embark upon a belated Spring cleaning (ouch!) and then hopefully indulge in a fun craft project over the weekend.

Whatever you do I hope you enjoy it to the fullest ♥♥♥

Hello, hello! I took a mini blogging break but now I’m back (well, sort of). I’ve been low on energy over the past week and more but I still managed to see some exhibitions and go on a few photo walks.

Couple of weeks ago we visited Mimara museum to see exhibition of Islamic, Mogul and Bhutan objects. Here are few pics:

And more objects from Mimara collection I found interesting. Currently I’ve been drawing a lot of abstract and flower patterns so it feels inspiring to see these old displays.

Since Spring is in full bloom, I couldn’t resist visiting flower and Dolac market and treat myself with some fresh flowers.

Traditional Croatian souvenirs made of wood and other charming wooden products caught my eye.

markov trg yard
On our walk through Zagreb Upper Town we noticed an open door leading into one of backyards on Trg Sv. Marka. The backyard is full of old pieces of sculptures, scrap and feral cats (that are fortunately being fed by someone). It’s almost fascinating how such neglected place, almost a junkyard can be rights across Croatian parliament.

 Since I’m still in a need of a break, things may remain a little silent over here, at least until Easter holidays are over. After that I’ll be having a giveaway (my two year blogging anniversary is near!) and I’ll be back with much more photos, art and writing :)

Have a great Friday everyone!
