Roses, Roses, Roses

 Open Garden Days

Today we visited a nearby Rose establishment. The proprietor is an internationally known rose breeder and cultivator. His collection is amazing. The day was sunny and warm. Everybody and his brother and mother were there. And the roses were gorgeous.

Blessed Sunday

A Walk

 In the Countryside

Between rains, among the growing crops. First through the woods and across a stream. 

Between grain fields, punctuated in poppies.

Hello to the calves.

Peony season

And rose season

And some flowers are tough enough to grow in a bag of gravel.

Happy June

 A Walk

The blustery weather had died down a bit, so the ferry was running, but I had no wish to join the others on the sea. They had a good time exploring an island. I did some watercolors, and took a long walk along the coast. 

The next day we left from the Split airport back to Zurich. The airport was almost empty - tourist hadn’t started - then it gets very full. 

The End of that adventure.

 Split, To the Shore

Still in the drizzle, we went to the seashore, all paved and civilized. The goal was to find out how to use the ferry for an island trip the next day. Mission accomplished. 

Then we took a drive along the coast and watched the sun set over the sea.
