Hello everyone!πŸ˜ƒ

In last post we told you how we went on Čiovo and showed you some views we took on the road there. After that we went in Pirovac in Dominik's place. We decided to took photos of interesting plants that we saw on one of our walks there.

It is really great here in Pirovac, just a small village on the Adriatic sea. When we went for a walk we saw our neighbours there too. They also took a weekend off to enjoy the good weather and sounds of sea and gentle wind. There was a small amount of tourist. We saw people swimming in the sea and enjoying the sun.

We took the walk by the beach and decided to go in caffe bar for a drink to refresh ourselves.

Look at this funny vase. I really like the way the vase is made, so Dalmatian, also in it is the plant lavender.
After drink we bought a bread and continued walking by waterfront and this swan saw us and came straight to us.

He came really close and Dominik gave him a little piece of bread. He immediately ate it.πŸ˜‚

This bird is so pretty. Almost everyone know about this one but they still amaze us. We sometimes try to take pitcures of birds but we are just to slow, we need to practice more.

Also there was a cat too. We gave her a little piece too.

So now lets get on plants that grow in Pirovac.
