Štiri za danes Four for today

Včeraj je bil eden tistih čudovitih zahodov, ki se jih kar ne moreš nagledat. [slika 1]

Pred časom sem za sestro oblikovala žig za njene slike. [slika 2]

Obožujem gobe na stoinen način, iz teh šitak pa je nastala tale okusna jed. [slika 3]

S poletjem se je končalo tudi obdobje neviht, ki jih Zoja tako zelo ne mara, da se skrije na najbolj nenavadne konce, in enkrat sem jo našla takole spečo sredi stopnic. :) [slika 4]

Yesterday I was admiring one of those wonderful sunsets that you just can’t take your eyes off of it. [picture 1]

I designed a stamp for my sister’s paintings a while ago. [picture 2]

I adore mushrooms prepared on every possible way and out of these shiitakes this delicious dish was made. [picture 3]

The summer is over and so is a period of thunder storms that Zoja doesn’t like so much that she hides in the most unusual places possible and this is how I found her sleeping in the middle of the stairs one of those times. :) [picture 4]

Pisano nebo Colourful sky

Takole so se včeraj v okviru državnega prvenstva,
ki poteka še danes, po nebu v okolici Trebnjega pasli baloni.

Here is how balloons took over the sky above Trebnje area yesterday,

where the national championship is going on these days.

Neverjetno Unbelievable

Česa takega pa res ne pomnim – letošnja zima je preskočila jesen! :)

Mislim dobesedno: v začetku tedna sem bila še v kopalkah na plaži in to ne tako na silo,

ampak v uf-kako-je-vroče-bo-treba-kaj-v-vodo stilu, včeraj pa sneg!

Vseeno mislim, da je bil krut le prehod

in da nas čaka še kar nekaj krasnih jesenskih dni.

I don’t remember something like this before – this year’s winter skipped the autumn! :)

I mean literally: in the beginning of the week I was on the beach in my bathing suit, not just catching

some weak sunrays, but in a huh-it’s-so-hot-let’s-go-into-the-water style and yesterday it was snowing

(I’m not talking of the mountains, but here in the capital, just an hour drive from the coast)!

But I think that it was just a cruel transition

(with temperature difference of about 20°C/70°F) 

and there are still some beautiful autumn days to come before the real snow.

Vem za kraj... I know for a place...

Vem za kraj, ki se začne tam, kjer zmanjka besed, tam, kjer niti poskus, ko bi rad nekaj ubesedil, pa ne gre in zato misliš, da te bo potolažil občutek tistega neulovljivega, ni dovolj.

Po teh pokrajinah, ki so mi takó znane in pomirjujoče objemajoče, pa vendar še vedno nagajivo bežeče, se mi je bilo včeraj dano sprehajati v krogu najbližjih, družine in prijateljev, s katerimi si pogosto delimo življenjske krajine, skupaj z mnogimi znanci, ki redkeje zaidejo nanje.

Po teh pokrajinah, ki so mi takó znane, pa me vseeno še vedno znajo presenetiti in uigrano zaplesati ob hudomušno zrelih ritmih Samih bab in nas zarolati v čaroben večer ob mamini sladki roladi. [slika 4]

Vem za kraj, ki mi je takó znan in kjer je lepo…

[utrinki so s sinočnjega odprtja sestrine slikarske razstave, ki bo na ogled še vsako soboto in nedeljo med 16. in 18. uro do 23. oktobra v Erbergovih paviljonih graščine Dol]

I know for a place that begins where there are no words left, it begins where even an attempt of wanting to put it into words, but can’t and therefore you think that the feeling of that certain something will comfort you, is not enough.

Yesterday I had the privilege to walk through these landscapes, so familiar to me and soothingly embracing, together with the loved ones, family and friends, with whom we often share landscapes of life and together with many acquaintances that rarely visit them. We walked through the landscapes so familiar to me and yet so playfully running away.

We walked through the landscapes so familiar to me and still they manage to surprise me and dance harmoniously in the amusing-mature rhythm of Same babe (All babes) band and roll us into the magic night together with my mum’s sweet rolls. [picture 4]

I know for a place so familiar to me and where is so nice…

[captured moments are from yesterday’s opening of my sister’s painting exhibition]

Bela White

Slika 1:
Zadnjič, ko smo imeli piknik, vidim očija, ki barva dva stola…
jaz: O, kok lepa stola! A kej veš, kje bi loh še kakšnega tazga dobila, midva bi tud take mela!
oči: Ja, sej sem mislu, da bi bla tedva za vaju…
jaz: Juhej!
:)

Slika 2:
Vse skupaj je nemo opazovala 18-letna mačka brez uhlja, brez imena, neuradno Belka, in skoraj brez smisla za hec.

Picture 1:
The other day, when we had a picnic, I saw my dad painting two chairs…
me: Oh, what beautiful chairs! Would you know where can I get this kind of old chairs, we’d also like to have chairs like these!
dad: Well, my plan is to give them to you two anyway…
me: Yeeey!
:)

Picture 2:
Altogether was silently observed by the 18-years old cat without an ear, without a name, unofficially called Belka (Whitey), and almost without any sense of humor .

Dve stvari Two things

Jutri ob 19. uri bo v Erbergovih paviljonih graščine Dol odprtje slikarske razstave moje sestre,

ki se ga kot organizator udeležuje tudi ekipa Letimo.

There will be my sister’s painting exhibition opening
 tomorrow at 7 o’clock in the evening at Erberg pavilions of Dol mansion

and Letimo team is participating (also as the organiser)

the balloon national championship in Trebnje from today till Sunday.

Trdovratno poletje, obožujem te! Persistent summer, I adore you!

Mamine besede povejo vse:

a ni hecno, izložbe so že novoletno okrašene,

mi se pa še kar preganjamo po plažah. :)

[posnetki so iz Izole]

My mum’s words say it all:

isn’t it funny, shop windows are already decorated in New Year’s style,

but we’re still cruising around beaches. :)

Poletne počitnice jeseni 3 Summer vacation in autumn 3

[nadaljevanje petkove objave / continuation of Friday's post]

... sončni zahodi ob hladnem pivu, nabiranje kamenčkov, pokopališča
z razgledom na morje, dremuckanje v senci in lepa plaža.

Krk.

… sunsets with a cold beer, picking pebbles, cemeteries with
a view, snoozing in the shadow and a beautiful beach.

Krk. (island in Croatia, just 3 hours drive from our home)

Poletje vse tja do štiristotke Summer all the way to four hundred

Ne pomnim, kdaj sem, če sploh, fotografirala jesenske prizore

v povsem poletnih oblačilih. Letošnja jesen nas res razvaja.

Te oktobrske utrinke za 400. objavo sem ujela okoli

razpadajočega renesančnega dvorca Lazarini v Valburgi.

I don’t remember when, if at all, I was photographing autumn scenes

dressed completely in my summer wear. This autumn is really spoiling us.

I caught these October details for my 400th post around

crumbling renaissance mansion Lazarini in Valburga village.

Ob enih At one o'clock

Zaradi noro lepega prvooktobrskega dne, ki je bolj podoben poletnemu,

sem se odločila prekiniti niz počitniških utrinkov s tistimi z današnjega vsedružinskega piknika,

ki je bil, kakor je razvidno z Mirovega krožnika, točno ob enih. :)

Due to insanely beautiful first day of October that looks more like some hot summer one

(with temperatures up to around 26°C/80°F),

I’ve decided to interrupt the vacation-moments series with today’s all-family picnic photos,

which started at one o’clock sharp, as you can see on Miro’s plate. :)
