Maestra’s summer vacation – day 7 – Part Three (Zrce surroundings)Maestrine poletne počitnice – dan 7 – tretji del (Zrće z okolico)

I promise you, this will be the last post from our trip to Zrce. :yes: I know you all are here mainly because of the make up and nail polish and I bore you with pictures of … well not-make-up. Luckily there are other Parokeets ladies who are writing great nail polish related posts. :wink:

Here we go … Yesterday I already told you about a beautiful and peaceful place not far from the Zrce beach. Well, today I have some pictures of that place and creatures that live there.

The “path” you see in the picture above … well, tide floods it. The pictures above was taken at 9am and at noon it was almost completely flooded. I don’t have a picture to prove it to you, because it’s nothing special. Just water. Fortunately I had my jelly shoes with me as you’ll see in one of my following pictures.

As we walked along the path and I took pictures of everything. First thousands little moving things caught my eyes. I took a closer look in the water and by my very surprise, I saw lots and lots of almost transparent shrimps or prawns. I was in seventh heaven. I have three freshwater aquariums at home and in all of them there are freshwater shrimps. If you have that in mind, you can imagine how amazed I was to see these little creatures in their natural environment. I couldn’t get a good picture of them, because they are very fast and transparent and they blend with the surroundings. Here’s what I’ve got …

Look at the next ones abdomen. Do you see tiny round dark spots? These are eggs. Yes, she’s going to have babies. :wub:

Some of them weren’t shy at all. :silly:

In case you were wondering … Wet’n’Wild – Lime Time on my thumb.

We found some “empty” shells.

At least we thought it was empty, but when I used it as a scenery for my Barry M photoshooting and the water filled it, a little creature peered out. :silly:

An anemone, looking funny and interesting …

One of the highlights of the day was seeing some big crabs. I haven’t seen such big crabs before. At least not in nature.

And maybe the biggest highlight of the day: it turned out I had a stalker there. This little funny guy, followed me a long way …

Really, I’m not kidding. He was following me quite some time. See how he showed his love?

He “hid” under my jelly shoe. :biggrin: (Sorry for the chipped pedicure, but jelly shoes aren’t gentle to your pedicures.) It was so funny. I laughed and was afraid at the same time. Afraid that he would pinch me and laughed for obvious reasons. :silly:

I don’t know why this little guy followed me, but my theory is, that he saw me at Parokeets blog and he wanted a pedicure. :undecided: Good theory? Little guy, I hope you are already a GFC follower. :haha:

To be serious, I believe he was following my shadow. :idea: But I could be wrong …

That’s what I have for you today. I hope you liked at least some of it. As I wrote before, for me this was the best hiking trip in a long long time …

Obljubim, da bo tole zadnji del. :yes: Saj vem, da pridete sem predvsem zaradi kozmetike, jaz pa vas dolgočasim s fotografijami … pač, vsega drugega in ne kozmetike. Še dobro, da imamo še ostale Parokeetke, ki pišejo čudovite prispevke o lakih in ostalih rečeh. :wink:

Ampak če sem že začela, bom tudi končala. Včeraj sem vam povedala o čudovitem in mirnem zalivu blizu Zrć. Danes vam bom pokazala fotografije iz tistega dela izleta. V bistvu “ta boljšega” dela najinega izleta. Vsaj zame.

“Pot”, ki jo vidite zgoraj … “sad je ima sad je nema” kot pravijo. Magija? Amm … ne, samo plimovanje. Zgornja fotografija je bila posneta okrog 9ih zjutraj. Okrog 12ih je plima pot že skoraj popolnoma pojedla. Fotografije poplavljene poti nimam, ker ni kaj videti. Samo voda. K sreči sem imela s seboj svoje “jelly” balerinke, kot boste videli v eni od naslednjih fotografij.

Ko sva hodila po in ob potki, sem fotografirala … vse. Najprej me je pritegnilo na stotine (morda tisoče) nekih hitro premikajočih mini zadevic v vodi. Pobližje sem si ogledala in z izrednim navdušenjem ugotovila, da gre za kozice. Vedeti morate, da kot oseba, ki ima doma tri sladkovodne akvarije in v vsakem izmed njih se najdejo kozice, sem bila v sedmih nebesih. Resno! Kaj takega še nisem videla. Kozice v svojem naravnem okolju in to ogromno kozic. Dobro fotografijo je bilo izredno težko ujeti, ker so ta bitjeca izredno živahna in še skoraj popolnoma se zlijejo z okolico. Če k temu prištejemo še odboj vode in mojo neizkušenost kot fotograf, se sploh ni čuditi, da mi ni uspelo dobiti dobre fotografije. Tole mi je uspelo ujeti v objektiv …

Naslednjo kozico si bolje oglejte v predelu trebuha. A vidite majhne temne okrogle zadevice? To so jajčka. Jaaa, tale bo imela bebice. :wub:

Nekatere med njimi so bile celo radovedne. :silly:

Če vas slučajno zanima, na palcu je Wet’n’Wild – Lime Time.

Sem in tja sva našla kakšno zanimivo “prazno” hišico.

Vsaj mislila sva, da je hišica prazna. Ko sem hišico uporabila kot del kulise za Barry M photoshooting in jo je zalila voda, je iz hišice pokukal lastnik. :silly:

Morska veternica, ki je izgledala zanimivo …

Eden od vrhuncev dneva je bilo zagotovo videti velike rakovice. V bistvu tako velikih rakovic še nisem videla v živo. Vsaj v naravnem okolju ne.

Verjetno pa čisto ta pravi vrhunec dneva: Izkazalo se je, da sem tam nekje imela čisto pravega zalezovalca. Tale malček mi je sledil kar lep kos poti …

Resnično, niti malo se ne hecam. Sledil mi je precej časa. In poglejte, kako je izkazoval svojo ljubezen!

“Skril” se je pod mojo “jelly” balerinko. :biggrin: (Se opravičujem za okrušeno pedikuro, ampak jelly čeveljci res ne prizanesejo nobeni pedikuri.) Prav hecno je bilo. Hkrati sem se smejala, fotografirala in še premagovala strah. Strah me je bilo, da me bo uščipnil. Smejala in in fotkala pa sem iz očitnih razlogov. :silly:

Ne vem, zakaj mi je tale malečk sledil. Moja teorija je, da me je videl na Parokeets blogu in me je tako prosil za pedikuro. :undecided: Dobra teorija? Moj zasledovalec, upam, da si že GFC zasledovalec Parokeets bloga. :haha:

In še čisto resna teorija. Po moje je sledil moji senci. :idea: Ampak lahko se motim …

To je vse, kar imam danes za vas. Upam, da vam je moj prispevek vsaj malček všeč. Kot sem že napisala. Meni je bil to eden najlepših izletov v zadnjem času … mmm, kako sem uživala …
