Beach in Maslenica

 On this day we made our way about half hour away from Zadar to check out a beach in Maslenica. There are several beaches, this one was just one of them called Beach Rustine. Really, the whole edge of Maslinica is one long beach and you can find a spot anywhere you like. It was a hot and a great day for a dip in the sea to cool off. The views are beautiful and there are boat excursions which take you between the mountains in the Zrmanja Canyon which I believe is just past the Maslenica Bridge. The original bridge, built in 1961, was destroyed during the Croatian War of Independence but was reconstructed in 2005.

Return to Zadar

 We are on our way back to the coast but while still in Zagreb we saw this stork in a field, just walking along by itself. I wonder if it's going to be be delivering a baby to someone sometime soon. When we got back to Zadar we got with Stevo for a nice walk along the riva.  It was another beautiful sunset where the sun slips into the sea. It leaves behind deep and vivid colors that fade into the night.

Roses & Barbecue

 Some roses in the garden were blooming nicely back at the end of June. It was also a good time to fire up the barbecue and grill up some cevapi and vegies. We all got in on it, each taking turns in taking care of it. Supper was good.
