Bližje soncu Closer to the Sun

Včeraj, na zadnji dan leta, smo šli v hribe, bližje soncu, na Katarino,

da se poslovimo in zahvalimo 2016.

Yesterday, we went up to the hills, closer to the Sun, to Katarina hill,

to say goodbye and to thank 2016.

Nagajive kozice Naughty little goats

Ko po zelo kratkem in prijetnem vzponu prispeš do Mengeške koče,

te tam, poleg vrste drugih živali, pričaka cel trop nagajivih in požrešnih kozic. Luštno!:)

After a very short and pleasant hike, when you reach Mengeška koča hilltop,

you suddenly find yourself in the middle of a very naughty and greedy group of goats. Cute! :)

Jesenski metež An autumn blizzard

Odkrivam stare, že pripravljene in še neobjavljene posnetke. Enega posebnejših trenutkov pretekle jeseni smo doživeli, ko nas je ob spustu s Smledniškega hriba zasulo listje. Juhuuu!
 
I am discovering old, already prepared and yet unpublished photos. We experienced one of the most special moments this past autumn when a real leaves-blizzard caught us on the way down from Smlednik castle ruins. Yaaay!

Glede na dozdajšnjo zimo ... Considering the mild winter we've had so far ...

... Kaj pa, če je bil polh?!, je rekel Miro na našem silvestrskem vzponu na Šmarno goro.

... What if the dormouse did it?!, said Miro on our Silvester hike to Šmarna gora.

(The note says the Nativity scene was set there, but a bad person scattered it across the forest.)

Vonj po zimi Scent of winter

Takle sonček sva šla včeraj iskat, ko je doline zalivala megla, na Krim,

a ob povratku sva skozi z mahom poraslim pravljičnim gozdom
že čutila ostre zobe bližajoče se zime.

So here is the sun we were on a mission to find yesterday 
when the valleys were watered by fog, on Krim,

but while returning through the magic mossy forest
we could felt the sharp teeth of upcoming winter.

Popoln jesenski sprehod A perfect autumn walk

Debenji vrh. Luštna, lahka pot, ravno pravšnja,

če želite izkoristiti lep jesenski dan za kratek sprehod.

Debenji vrh, a small hill on the east side of our capital, a perfect choice

for a short walk on a beautiful autumn day.

Morje, smetana ali mleko? Sea, cream or milk?

Ko so se proti vrhu Rašice meglice razkadile, sem, preden sva se povzpela na stolp, s katerega je bil krasen razgled na morje z otočki (tisti na levi v ozadju je Šmarna gora), kot temu pojavu pravim jaz, tokrat pa sva slišala najmanj dva starša otrokom simpatično razlagati: lej, koliko smetane se vidi s stolpa in malo večjim: pojdite gor na stolp pogledat, če se vidi mleko, zagledala eno od smernih tabel, ki sem jih napisala jaz.
 
Glede na to, da imam v spominu, da sem zadnjo serijo izdelala že več kot zelo debelo desetletje nazaj in ker včasih, sicer redko, po okoliških hribih vseeno še naletim na kakšno svojo, zelo zdelano, je bila ta presneto dobro ohranjena.

When, approaching the top of Rašica, the mists fade away, before we climbed the tower, which offers a splendid view over the sea with little islands (the one on the left in the background is Šmarna gora), as I call this phenomena, but this time we heard at least two parents explaining cute theories about it to their children: look, how much cream you can see from this tower and to a bit bigger children: go to the tower and let me know, if there is a milk under, I saw one of the direction signs I had written.
 
Considering, I have in mind I made the last series of them a fat fat decade ago and because sometimes, though very rarely, when hiking around local hills I still bump into one of those written by me, usually very time-damaged, this one was surprisingly well preserved.
