This past weekend we made a quick trip to our cottage at the foothills of mountain Prenj. Because of the heat, we arrived after the sun had started to set, but I still managed to get some images of the surroundings, and even a couple of shots from a place here, that I hadn't shown you previously.

Our neighbors dog, Div, was also there. I caught him in the act of "watering" the plants.
After sunset, it gets cooler here, so you can enjoy your time out.
Nature is in full bloom here and there are lots of interesting plants here to shoot.
Of course the dogs are having the most fun.
There is a wooden bridge here, that crosses the small river Sanica. We went towards it to take some photos.
Surrounded by the trees, this small spot offers much shelter and interesting foliage. You can look down below onto the river and the many rocks of the river bed.
Beni was not as brave in crossing the bridge (and actually I can't fault him, it seems not too stable), but Div did cross it.
Beni enjoyed the garden and the water stream near the house. Here he cooled down and gave me more work in cleaning him up for the car ride back...
Such a beautiful and peaceful place you have.
ReplyDeleteIt's always nice to get away from the things of man!
Lovely post!
It sure is :D
DeleteA magnificent photo gallery, takes us back to an idyllic place.
ReplyDeleteThank you, I am feeling refreshed after that lovely walk in your weekend neighbourhood!
ReplyDeleteGreat images.
What a beautiful retreat and Benni looks like a mess!
ReplyDeleteHe sure was! :) And he loves being messy.
DeleteWhat a perfect get-away. The foothills are so verdant, the flowers beautiful, the dogs [always awesome] are cute and friendly, the temperature and air cooler and fresher. Yep, this is perfect!!!
ReplyDeleteHello Mersad, what a pretty and peaceful place. The stream and flowers are beautiful. I love the dogs, both Div and Beni. Lovely post! Have a happy day and new week ahead!
ReplyDeleteSeems that it was a great weekend in nature! And it looks a little bit like the Eifel in Germany, where we spend our weekends so often.
ReplyDeletesuch a beautiful, peaceful place to have a cottage.. and the plus is there is an extra dog. and you only have to clean up ONE .. i would not walk that bridge either
ReplyDeleteI tread very carefully myself :)

A wonderful retreat, I have yet to visit my cabin in the woods. Tom The Backroads Traveller
ReplyDeleteLooks like a wonderfully relaxing location. My favorites are your photos of the stream.
ReplyDeleteWhat a stunning place to visit!!
ReplyDeletePeaceful place. I think dogs will always find ways to romp and look happy, don't you? It makes everyone around them feel alive.
ReplyDeleteLooks beautiful and very cool indeed.
ReplyDeleteAmazing pictures, such a beautiful place.
ReplyDeleteThat's a beautiful setting for a cottage!
ReplyDeleteI'd be tempted to dip my feet into the stream too on a hot day! :)
ReplyDeleteAbsolutely stunning! I have always wished for a place in the mountains with a stream running through it! How fortunate you are to have this retreat! Beautiful photos!
ReplyDeleteA super location for you and the dogs to recharge your batteries.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful..I knew that Beni would love the water and Div too. Getting wet and muddy is so much fun for a dog or a small child. They don't think of the muddy mess later... Thank you for linking in Mersad... It is always a pleasure to see your photos... Michelle
ReplyDeleteSuch a beautiful setting for a summer getaway. I love the view of the valley with the mountains sheltering it. Everything is green and lush.
ReplyDeletehow wonderful to have such a retreat! it seems that your neighbor's dog has made himself at home with you.
ReplyDeleteSo nice to have such a beautiful spot to get away from it all. Your photos are just wonderful.
ReplyDeleteHappy Outdoor Wed.
That's a great get-away place. It looks so serene and comfy.

ReplyDeleteBeautiful as usual, and would love to be there. Rocks grab my attention and the dogs do, too. Thank you for sharing so beautifully.
ReplyDeleteWow you have a cottage at the foot of the mountain? You are very privileged! How so wonderful to have like a resort house in areas like those, very picturesque and looks so comfortable..
ReplyDeleteSuch lovely impressions!!
ReplyDeleteLovely photos and I always enjoy seeing animals - even if you did invade one's privacy by catching him in the act. ;)
ReplyDeleteI love the flowers and the wooden path through the woods. Very nice.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful shots ~ Love dogs and the bridge over the water ~
ReplyDeleteHappy Week to you,
artmusedog and carol
What beautiful dogs! They certainly live in a beautiful area!
ReplyDeleteIt looks like a lovely, peaceful retreat. I bet the dogs had fun, and who doesn't love listening to water rush in a creek? Beautiful!
ReplyDeleteThanks for joining us for Inspire Me Monday at Create With Joy, Mersad - I always look forward to visiting your blog and taking a journey through your beautiful photography!
