As I'm looking out of the window, the hot summer sun is reflected in the windows and cars. The mornings are already very warm, and as the day goes on, the day gets even hotter. Thoughts of beaches and the sea are still distant, but as summer vacations are approaching even they are crossing my mind.
Days of Summer
Another thing keeping me busy is work, and that is until mid-July, when we go on break. A first short trip has already been planned for that first weekend when we have off. But more on that when the time comes. So what is it about summer that makes the heart grow fonder? A song comes to mind...
This year will be calmer and I think we will only go on a short 4 day trip to the beach. I have ordered some new photo gear, which will probably arrive until the end of July, so I'm looking forward to that as well. It's a new lens, I wanted to buy for a long time, but needed to save up so that I could get it. A full review will be posted once I get it.
Summer Vacation Plans
Keeping in mind the previous bit about the massive workload right now, I haven't even found time to think about this years summer vacation. Last year I went to Sibenik and posted a massive 9-part Travel Series, that to this date is still the most viewed and read travel series on this blog. Check it out under the link above if you haven't seen it.

Back to Work
Even though work is crazy, there will be lots of new posts, travel and lifestyle related. Have you seen my latest Chocolate Donuts Recipe? You should definitely try them. Have you made any plans for your summer vacation? How is summer treating you?

It's marvellous that you had so many people read your posts on Sibenik . I look forward the pictures of this year's adventures. Thanks for sharing the clip of Nat King Cole, one of my favourites.
ReplyDeleteThanks Valerie. So glad you enjoyed the song. I only recently discovered it, and have been humming it ever since. :)
DeleteLooks really good and no not really planned something.
ReplyDeleteThe anticipation of vacation time... and of a new camera lens arriving
ReplyDeleteis always fun, and exciting. Like Christmas in July.
Stay cool, my friend.
You too Laura. I hope you guys are not in any heat waves up in the great northwest USA.
Deleteworking hard will provide the means to have fun on your vacation and the beach sounds the choice i would make, i would head right to the water of that beautiful blue sea
ReplyDeleteLovely series of images, Mersad! A trip to the beach sounds awesome and something to look forward to. Enjoy your new lens. Have a happy day and new week ahead!
ReplyDeletesummer is flying by too quickly...school has been out since may 22nd and we don't have to go back to school until august 12th...it's a longer summer break this year because they changed up the schedule and we ended up getting jipped last summer...we ended up purchasing a new home so that is keeping me busy, packing, going through things..we don't move until the end of july but i'm busy, busy! so no summer vacation plans but we do have a pool now so we'll spend the end of our summer at our new pool!
ReplyDeleteOh wow, your summer will be busy no doubt! Good luck with the new house. Try to take it easy from time to time and don't let summer pass you by. It's nice to stop for a moment sometimes and smell the air :)
DeleteGreat post and photos as always, Mersad!! Time is indeed flying and it's hard to realize that July is only hours away!! I do love the video with Nat King Cole! He was always a favorite of mine!! Have a wonderful week -- try not to work too hard!! And ENJOY!!
ReplyDeleteThanks Sylvia. Will try my best not to work to hard :) we all know the rest of: "All work and no play..." :)
DeleteEnjoy your new camera lenc when it arrives! I'm sure you will have a lot of fun with it :)
ReplyDeleteI'm sure I will. I'm very excited about it actùally, and waiting like crazy to get it in my hands :)
DeleteI love that last shot! The colors are great, especially the multi tones of the water. Have a great vacation when you go!
ReplyDeleteThe last shot, with the green swirls of water in the foreground is beautiful! Wherever you go, I know that you'll take great photos.
ReplyDeleteThank you so much Lorrie for your kind words.
DeleteI am sorry that you are busy at work, but that is good for a young man building his legal career. Good luck.
ReplyDeleteYour summer plans sound good, especially the new lens. I would look forward to the review :)
ReplyDeleteThings have been pretty hot in India for months now, and currently I am happy with the monsoon which have calmed things down. I am off to exploring Goa in the monsoons soon...that's the only plan :)
That sounds like a good plan then. Good luck and safe travels my friend.
DeleteI don't know how you managed to juggle work adn writing adn producing your gorgeous photos on the blog. No matter where you decide to go on holiday, your photographs will bestunning as is this last shot on this post.
ReplyDeleteGreat post! You've always got such nice photos to share.
ReplyDeleteThanks for sharing at http://image-in-ing.blogspot.com/2015/06/falling-water.html
It's good to be busy. When you finally get your vacation you will truly appreciate it. :))
ReplyDeleteI don't have any huge summer plans and I think I'll be taking shorter weekend trips. I'm planning on a Sedona weekend that will be great for photography and possibly the Grand Canyon. I haven't been there in a while. The first of September I go to California with my friends for an extra long weekend and at the end of September back to Santa Fe New Mexico with other friends. I'd love to go to Seattle even for just one day but the air fare is outrageously expensive for some reason. Lot's of things to think about.
ReplyDeleteI can't wait to hear where you end up going.
NAT! Someone asked me if I could pick just one artist on my desert island CD, and I picked him.
