The afternoon was still relaxing after the rain as we made the entrance into the woods. A narrow path greeted us in the beginning and it was about to lead us all the way to the other side. It's not a very long walk, but the sights are plenty nevertheless.
The countryside here will change soon, since a big highway is about to be built in the near vicinity. I am not quite sure what will stay and what will go, but I will try to document the change through images once it happens.
This is a multi-part series:
Part One: A Family Outing
Part Two: The Path through the Woods

I like the little drops of water ready to fall off the fruit.
The others were catching up to us.
Beni cooled down. ;)
We stopped for some portraits. I love this little stone fence. On the other side of the fence there are many fruit trees and other walking paths.
On the opposite side of the fence you can peek through the trees and get a clear sight of the fields which we walked on in part one.
I like the little drops of water ready to fall off the fruit.
The others were catching up to us.
We finally made it out of the woods and back to the country road, that would take us back where we started this small adventure.
In the end Beni needed to be carried as well, since the long walk took most of his energy away.
These three shots of Merjem were taken in the garden of the old family house, where my father grew up in. She loves to pose for photos, and is a real character.
Beni cooled down. ;)
Thanks for visiting. I hope you enjoyed these rural views of the countryside of Bivolje Brdo.
Next up on this blog is a massive multi-part series from our vacation to Sibenik in Croatia. Part One will be up this Friday.

she's an adorable little girl. love the stone fence! sorry about the highway coming through. hope some of the natural beauty can stay as is.
ReplyDeleteI hope so too. We'll see...
DeleteAbsolutely gorgeous shots Mersad...loved them all! Your pictures are always so wonderful...
ReplyDelete-- An old Goan cemetery
Such delightful captures for the day, Mersad, as always!! An adorable little girl she is indeed! Hope the rural beauty of this place isn't ruined! Hope your week is going well!! Enjoy!
ReplyDeleteI'm in awe of your control of the depth of field in the first shot!
ReplyDeleteThanks Sal. You can click under Tutorials on the top of the blog and look for "Shallow Depth in Filed in Landscapes" for further instructions.
Deletegorgeous photos, beautiful portraits!!
ReplyDeleteDie vorletzten zwei Fotos von dem Mädchen gefallen mir sehr gut, besonders das schwarz-weiße. LG
ReplyDeleteDanke Flögi.
DeleteFantastic and the portraits are just wonderful. :)
ReplyDeleteThis looks so beautiful but above all little Merjem is a real darling. Your portraits are super!
ReplyDeleteLovely people and lovely people pictures!
ReplyDeleteThanks Bill.
DeleteStunning selection of images, love the view down the path and her sunglasses are very cool
ReplyDeleteMollyxxx
Merjem reminds me of my daughter at that age. She was a ham for the camera, too! Beautiful country, although I hate to hear of the highway, but it's hard to avoid development these days.
ReplyDeleteIt really is. I just hope that the construction won't do much harm to the outer fields.
Deletelovely visit to the countryside. that's a COOL dog!
ReplyDeleteROG, ABCW
Divna okruzenja svakako pogoduju tvojoj umjetnosti; priroda je fenomenalna!
ReplyDeleteHvala na posjeti Jasna.
DeleteThe portraits are wonderful and I especially like the way you arranged them, for example the one of you looking up ... at the droplets falling off the fruit. That was clever.
ReplyDeleteYour portraits are really lovely but, it helps that you have such attractive subjects (Beni included). I love the sky in that third shot.
ReplyDeleteThank you Sharon.
DeleteYour portraits of the child are amazing. I also love the little dog.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful looking path.
ReplyDeleteMerjem is very cute and a natural model. Highways can be good and bad both. The bad is that travelers will be speeding and missing all this beauty.
ReplyDeleteThat is true. But these regions here are not on any major roads anyway. Only people who live here or know someone here, venture out into the fields.
DeleteBeautiful...I know that is an over-used word, but none the less, the hike through the woods is BEAUTIFUL!!
ReplyDeleteLove the photos of your Merjem in the garden. So professional looking....well done.
and the last one of Beni with the sunglasses made me laugh.
Sad to know that this area will be changed for progress tho.
Thank you Anni. I hope to have some after pictures from the highway once it's done. But they say it won't be this year.
DeleteShe is such a little cutie pie! Love all the portraits. Lovely scenery. :)
ReplyDeleteSuch wonderful pictures. Very beautiful
ReplyDeleteWhat beautiful portraits! Each one is so perfect, and will make such lovely framed photos for the family to enjoy a long time. And Beni is so cool! :-) I HATE to think of a highway cutting into that lovely landscape!
ReplyDeleteAdorable little girl, and Beni is a cutie too. Great fence shots! Have a happy day!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful photos . . . darling little girl . . . doggie too!
ReplyDeleteStunning images! I think this is my first time visiting your blog.
ReplyDeleteThanks for sending me the link this week and I see I had never seen this post. Now I do know where the path leads . Your portrait shots are really fabulous and Merjem is very photogenic. Love the last shots of Beni also. Have a lovely weekend.
