Otočec
I wasn't at work today. In fact, I took a couple of days off (the weather being sure sign of which: overcast and sultry with heavy rain forecast later in the day) But I didn't want to stay at home either so we set off toward a nice little place called Otočec - which, appropriately, means something in terms of 'small island'. There is indeed a small island in the middle of the river called Krka, connected to the mainland by a wooden bridge on both ends, with a small castle which is now converted into a high end restaurant. I didn't go in there but took quite a lot of time ambling about with my camera. There was a swan family paddling about, a grey heron fished at the far end, a few dragonflies and numerous damselflies hovered around, some mating, some laying eggs, others just resting on the lush vegetation.

Good for youbtaking some time off. What a beautiful place. I really like it a lot. Thanks for sharing what the ne means. Have you eaten in the restaurant? Live the swans myself. Photos were great. :)
lady - there's always a lot to photograph as long as one keeps the eyes open
but yes, my country has a lot to show and i don't mind visiting certain places now and again...
thom - you obviously didn't read my text carefully. i said i hadn't entered that restaurant and probably ate better at a place i'd never been before. glad you liked the photos, though :)
Love these pics! What a great day off!
