When spring rolls around I really like to explore nature. With work being hectic these days, I didn't have the chance to venture out a lot. Luckily, this past weekend (which was also the start of the spring season) I made a short trip to our mountain cottage, where I got the chance to photograph the changes in nature there. Of course spring is not in full bloom yet, but I was able to find some interesting sights.
Beni was with me, of course, and he had a great time playing with Div, the lab who lives here at our friends house. Beni immediately jumped into the small creek, as he always does, going from white and clean to wet and dirty within 30 seconds. Div cooled off a bit as well, they jumped around and had lots of fun!
I hope you enjoyed these early spring sights. What is the start of spring looking like in your corners of the world?

That is a lovely place to go to enjoy the spring beginnings.
ReplyDeleteThanks Marcia. We love spending time here.
DeleteWow these are some breathtakingly beautiful spring photos...great job :)
ReplyDeleteOh how wonderful to have a spot like this to visit at the weekend Mersad, a welcome break after a busy weekend I'm sure. Especially beautiful in spring, I see Beni was thoroughly enjoying being there :)
ReplyDeleteIt sure is. I don't escape here as often as I should.

You give us a beautiful look at spring at your mountain cottage. I especially like the one with the little foot bridge across the creek. Spring hasn't "popped" here yet. There are crocuses and a few daffodils, but the trees aren't flowering yet. It won't be long, though.
ReplyDeleteI'm sure it will be there before you know it. Thanks Linda for visiting.
DeleteSchöne, frische grüne Bilder. Ich kann kaum erwarten, daß schon endlich Frühling wird und auch schönes Wetter dauerhaft bleibt, da hier sehr wechselhaft ist, eher noch schlechtes Wetter.
ReplyDeleteDanke für deine Kommentare bei mir, ich habe dich schon in den letzten Zeiten vermisst. ;-) Liebe Grüße
Ich hoffe das Wetter ändert sich schnell bei euch. Danke für deinen Beusch, ja mit der Zeit war es etwas knapp bei mir in letzter Zeit.
DeleteBeautiful place to have a cottage! Looks like you found a couple things blooming too.
ReplyDeleteWhat a gorgeous post, Mersad! So many lovely images of spring.
ReplyDeleteWhat a lovely place to have access to, the doggies certainly
ReplyDeletehad plenty of fun paddling in the creek.
Beautiful scenery too !
You are blessed Mersad to live in such a beautiful country,
Best wishes,

An A-Frame in the mountains---- Lovely spot.
ReplyDeleteEs sieht so warm und schön aus. Kein Wunder, dass der Hund eine Abkühlung braucht *lach*
ReplyDeleteUnd so viele schöne Blüten... herrlich.
Liebe Grüße

Dogs everywhere love water. Nice cottage with a porch to enjoy the views. - Margy

divna priroda. lijepo lagano, nikome se ne žuri.
ReplyDeleteA lovely cabin in the woods. Nice Spring colors.
ReplyDeleteGorgeous photos, Mersad. But poor Benji - hope he enjoys having a bath, because it looks like one is surely in the near future for him!
ReplyDeleteThanks for sharing at http://image-in-ing.blogspot.com/2016/03/spring-has-finally-sprung.html
He is not a fan of them, but doesn't complain. :) And yes, he did get a bath back home.
DeleteLovely place to spend time at and I am sure the dogs love the spring as we humans do..Michelle
ReplyDeleteWhat a great place to have a cottage with the wonderful scenery and fresh open spaces. The dogs certainly had lots of fun - getting dirty
ReplyDeleteThey love getting dirty, especially Beni. Of course I had to give him a a bath once we got home.
DeleteWhat a beautiful place!
ReplyDeleteA most idyllic rural getaway! Beautiful signs of spring all around & the dogs made the most of the glorious weather!
ReplyDeleteOh my what a lovely, lovely post. Both the dogs look to be having such a grand time outside enjoying the spring weather. Such a delightful cottage. My favorite shot of it was the one showing the fence and the stone wall. You are very lucky to be able to spend time there.
ReplyDeletethe pups are adorable. love the stone walls! such a pretty place.
ReplyDeleteThat looks such a lovely place.
ReplyDeleteI love all your photo's you've shared.
Hope the weather may be good over the weekend.
All the best Jan
Pretty spring shots...what fun for the doggies!

ReplyDeleteMay your Easter be Happy as ever, I wish it to you with all my heart !
With sincere gratitude

Spring is such a pretty season.
ReplyDeleteMollyxxx
What a beautiful restful place, Mersad. The dogs look like they are having so much fun in the water. Spring here is in full bloom with tulips, daffodils, magnolias (like the one in your photo) and so many things pushing through the earth.It's a wonderful season to be alive.
ReplyDeletea slow start to spring in upstate New York. Glad yours is blooming!
ReplyDeleteROG, ABCW
Oh dear! Beni got so dirty! At least the dogs had a good time.
ReplyDeleteGorgeous photos here. I love watching the arrival of Spring in the English countryside - the banks of daffodils, the magnolias starting to open and the buds coming on the trees. Later we'll get apple blossom on our apple trees and bluebells in the woods. My favourite time of year. #TheWeeklyPostcard
ReplyDeleteGorgeous photos! I love the colors and the flowers! Spring in DC means the Cherry Blossoms are in bloom and everyone's allergies are crazy :)
ReplyDeleteWow, what a treat to have such a beautiful space to retreat to. It's beautiful.
