Ben Again

Vem... spet Ben. Kup novih stvari je, ki vam jih želim pokazati, ampak čakajo, da jih uredim preden jih objavim. Glede na to, da je Ben moja velika inspiracija sem se tudi tokrat odločila, da ga delim z vami. Tokrat objavljam drugačne slike, ki ste jih navajeni. Malo sva se igrala z belim ozadjem in mislim, da ni je prav dobro izpadlo.

I know.. Ben again. It is so many thingst that I would like to share with you, but I have to edit them before publishing. You know that Ben is my big inspiration so I wanted to share with you his photos. They are a little different, not in a nature like as usual. We were playing whit white background.

It's been awhile

Minilo je že nekaj časa od zadnje objave. Nekako mi ne uspe narediti vsega začrtanega. Poletne počitnice, kar pomeni da zna biti delo od doma precejšen izziv, ko imaš polno hišo otrok. Potem je tukaj še ostalo delo, ki je vezano na poletje in na koncu ostane precej malo časa za blog. Na sploh ko moraš slalomirati med vsemi temi stvarmi, ukvarjati se z vsemi socialnimi omrežji. Planirala sem, da bo poletje čas za moj osebni projekt. To sem bila v zmoti! Ni mi hudega in nikoli mi ni grozno, da se plani spremenijo, važno je le da se kolo vrti naprej.

It's been awhile since the last post. Somehow I fail to do everything I want to. Summer holidays, which means that it can be work from home quite a challenge when you have a house full of children. Then there's the rest of the work, which is linked to the summer and in the end remains quite a bit of time to blog. In general, when you have do all these things, deal with all the social networks and the others things. I was planning to summer time for my personal project. I was wrong! I'm ok and for me it is never terribly when plans change, what matters is only that the wheel rotates forward.

Ben The Dog

He's my happiness.. he's my sweetheart.. I just LOVE him!

Loving Nature

Magic in the Woods

You can always find the magic in the woods!

Spring is coming

Čas je, da se poslovimo od zime in da na široko odpremo roke pomladi. Vreme je že nekaj časa prekrasno in priznam, da ga vsak dan izkoristim. Čutim, da se mi telo prebuja. Začetna utrujenost je minila in vsak dan sem bolj polna z energijo. Sedaj imam že ritual. Po jutranji kavi in pomarančnemu soku se odpravim ven za uro in pol. Temu je zaslužen Ben. Če ne bi bilo njega bi se verjetno marsikatero jutro nadaljevalo z delom, tako pa je naju popelje v naravo. Najina končna destinacija je travnik, ob katerem teče potok. Običajno je v jutranjih urah še vse mirno. Sonček prijetno greje. Uležem se na travnik, medtem pa Ben nabira palice in jih grizlja. Preden odideva domov tekava po travniku s palicami v rokah in v gobčku. Se loviva in igrava, predvsem pa uživava v vonju in zvoku narave. Vse kar mi pride na misel je.. ko bi vsaj trajalo.

It is time to say goodbye to winter and the wide open arms of spring. The weather is beautiful for some time now and I admit that I take it every day. I feel that my body is waking up. Initial fatigue is gone and every day I am more full of energy. Now I have a ritual. After morning coffee and orange juice I go out for an hour and a half. This is a well deserved Ben. If I woludn't have him, it would probably be many mornings continued with the work, so it takes us into nature. Our final destination is the meadow, at which the stream flows. Usually is in the morning still all quiet. Pleasantly warm sunshine. Lie down on the meadow, while Ben collects sticks and he nibbles it. Before I go home we run in the meadow with sticks in our hands and mouth. We were chatching and playing, especially we enjoyed the smell and sound of nature. 

Just Ben

My sweetheart!

Magical Winter

Včerajšnjega dneva sem se tako veselila. Nanj sem se pripravljala že en dan prej. Takoj ko sem izvedela, da bo naslednji dan sledilo močnejše sneženje, sem vedela, da ga bom izkoristila za zimske radosti z Benom. Fotoaparat sem deloma zaščitila s plastično vrečko in se odpravila na sprehod. Na sprehodu sva z Benom srečala prikupno večjo psičko, s katero sta se lovila po snegu. Sama sem se zagovorila z lastnikom in pozabila, da bi lahko posnela fotografije njiju dveh na snegu. Psička je bila res prekrasna. 

Ko sva ostala sama, sva nadaljevala z najinimi vragolijami. Bilo je pravljično. Globoko sveže zapadel sneg naju je vabil v igro. Pokrajina je bila čudovita. Močno sneženje, obilne snežinke, ki so padale po nama, so naju odpeljale v druge dimenzije. V tistem trenutku se je svet okoli mene ustavil. Zadihala sem kot že dolgo ne, pozabila na vse kar me je težilo in preprosto bila tukaj, sedaj, za vedno.

I was so excited about yesterday. I prepare for it a day early. As soon as I found out that the next day will snowing intensive, I know that I will go out and have fun with Ben. I protected the camera by a plastic bag and went for a walk. On the walk we met  lovely larg female dog. Ben and she were playing in the snow. I was talking with the owner and forgot that I could have made some photos of  two of them. 

When we were alone, we continued with playing in the snow. It was a fairytale. Very deep freshly fallen snow were invited us. The landscape was beautiful. A lot of snow, big snowflakes fell on us nad we were taken to another dimension. At that moment, the world around me stopped. I haven't breathe like that for a long time,  forget on everything I was oppressed and simply be here now, forever.

Winter fun

Danes prvič to zimo je zapadel sneg. Z Benom sva se odpravila ven in se zabavala. Prijateljica je Benu naredila plašč in s tem se je najina dogodivščina podaljšala. Mokri in težek sneg naju ni premagal in končno v tej zimi sem zares uživala biti na prostem.

Today we have the first snow in this winter. Ben and I went out and had fun. My best friend had made ​​a coat for Ben and our adventurehas begun. Wet and heavy snow did not beat us, and finally in this winter, I really enjoy to be outside.

Project 365

I joined the 365 project, organized by Pia from Nalina. Will I make it? I hope so! A word for the first day is the PROMISE! I stopped by New Year's resolutions, but it's still one that I want to have it every day of the year. I wish playfulness and happiness! And who would not be better to show this than my Ben.

Pridružila sem se projektu 365, ki ga organizira Pia iz Naline. Ali mi bo uspelo? Upam! Beseda za prvi dan je OBLJUBA! Prenehala sem z novoletnimi obljubami, je pa vseeno ena, ki si jo želim imeti vsak dan v letu. Želim si igrivosti in sreče! In kdo ne bi bolje tega prikazal kot moj Ben.

Best Friends

Zadnje dni sem pregledovala stare Benove fotografije, ko sem naletela na eno, na kateri sva oba. Ben stoji s prednjimi tačkami na mojih kolenih in mi deli poljubčke. In to je bila moja inspiracija za tole ilustracijo, ki jo z vami danes delim.

Last days I was watching Ben's old photos when I came across one which we are both on. Ben is standing with front paws on my knees and giving me a kiss. And that was my inspiration for this illustration, which I share with you today.

Autumn

Pred letom in pol nazaj je tale bela kepa stopila v naše življenje in nam vzela srce. Z Benom preživiva cel dan skupaj. Ko so moji fantje v službi in v šoli je on ob meni. Dela mi družbo med delom, ko tiho leži blizu mene. Spremlja me po opravkih, predvsem pa me pelje na čudovite sprehode. Vsak dan pobegneva v naravo, kjer so oba počutiva najbolj svobodno. Medtem ko Ben raziskuje naokoli, jaz poslušam petje ptic, šelestenje listja in se polnim z energijo. Včasih se usedem na preprogo listja in rišem ideje, ki so priletele k meni.

Odpravite se v naravo. Odprite oči in ujemite trenutek. Obdaja nas lepota, ki ji človeška roka ni kos. 

Začnimo uživati v majhnih stvareh, brez nepotrebne krame in vzemimo življenje v svoje roke. V resnici potrebujemo tako malo, da smo lahko srečni.

A year and a half ago is this white furry ball came into our lives and takes ours heart. Ben and me spend the whole day together. When my boys are at work or at school Ben is beside me. He keeps me company while I'm working. Follow me on an errands, and the most importent he takes me to beautiful walks. Every day escaping into the forest, where both feels freedom. While Ben is exploring around, I listen to the singing of birds, the rustle of leaves, and full myself of energy. Sometimes I sit down on a carpet of leaves and sketching ideas that they came to me.

Go to the nature. Open your eyes and capture the moment. We are surrounded by beauty, which no human hand is not able to do.

Let us begin to enjoy the small things, without unnecessary junk, and take control of our lifes. In fact we need so little that we can be happy.

Treasures of nature

Na zaspan, lenobni dan sva se z Benom odpravila na daljši sprehod. Prišla sva do bližnjega gozda, kjer se običajno obrneva in odpraviva nazaj domov. Tokrat sva pot nadaljevala in se znašla v sredini gozda. Obstala sem. Okoli mene se je razvilo čudovito gozdno življenje. Petje ptic, šelestenje listja, pokanje vejic. Žal mi je bilo, da sem doma pustila fotoaparat in telefon. Ko sem se ozrla za Benom, sem ga zagledala med praprotjo, vejicami in travo. Bil je prizor kot iz filma. Ben je (lahko bi celo rekla z nasmehom na obrazu.. na gobčku) skakal kot zajček in raziskoval okolico. Pogumen in svoboden. Bil je srečen. Ko je naenkrat nekaj počilo globje v gozdu, se je zbudil kot iz sanj in začel iskati mene. Ko me je zagledal je prihitel kot raketa. Počasi sva se odpravila nazaj proti domu, nabrala nekaj zakladov narave in pravljica na asfaltni poti se je zaključila. Povodec je bil ponovno pripet in midva tik pred domom. Tukaj so najini mali zakladi in spomin na prijeten sprehod.

On a sleepy, lazy day, Ben and I, went on a longer walk. We were to a nearby forest, where we usually turn back and go home. This time, we continued to walk in the forest. Around me has developed a wonderful forest life. The singing of birds , the rustle of leaves, twigs cracking... I was sorry to left the camera and phone at home . When I looked for Ben , I saw him in the middle of fern and gras. It was like a scene from a movie. Ben was ( I might even say with a smile on his face ) as a bunny hopping and exploring the surrounding area. Brave and free . He was happy . When suddenly a burst deeper into the forest, Ben awoke as from a dream and began to look for me. When he saw me, he rushed like a rocket . Slowly we went back home , gathered some treasures of nature and fairy tale on street road was ended . Leash has been on and we were close to our home . Here are our little treasures and memories of a pleasant walk.

 

On a hot day ...

... we take pictures !

Sketch Book

Včeraj je bil neverjeten dan. Zbudila sem se in zagledala skozi okno močno sneženje. Ceste, travniki in hiše so bili že pokriti z novo snežno odejo. Mislila sem, da sanjam. Danes pa je popolnoma nov dan. Sonce je ogrelo ozračje, večino snega je stopilo in čutiti je pomladanski veter. Pomlad prihaja. Pri meni doma se že riše in z mislimi sem v naravi, ki se počasi prebuja. Veselim se prihajajočih sprehodov z Benom. V času ko vsi pridno delajo kot mravljice midva pobegneva v naravo. Uživava vsak po svoje. Ben se lovi po travniku z metulji, jaz pa obstanem in opazujem naravo in njegovo veselje, ki se prepletata. 

Danes sem odprla novo skicirko in vanjo se je že naselila pomlad.

Yesterday was an incredible day. I woke up and saw through the window a lot of snow. Roads, meadows and houses were already covered with new snow. I thought I was dreaming. Today is a brand new day. The sun has warmed the atmosphere, most of the snow has melted and I already feel the spring wind. Spring is coming. In my home already is and my thoughts is in the nature, which is slowly waking up. I look forward to the upcoming walks with Ben. At a time when all the hard working ants, me and Ben get out into nature. Enjoy it to each his own. Ben in the meadow is playing with butterflies and I just stop and observe nature and Ben's joy.

Today I opened a new sketchbook and into the spring is already settled.

Winter Joy with Ben

Nikoli si nisem mislila, da bom toliko časa preživela in posvetila psu. Ben me je popolnoma prevzel in dejstvo je, da največ časa preživim ravno z njim. Ne pritožuje se ko ga fotografiram, ne moti ga stiskanje in božanje, predvsem pa mi zvesto sledi povsod kamor grem. Seveda ima tudi on svoje muhe, ravno zdaj je napočil njegov čas pubertete. Kot otroci preizkuša svoje meje. V stanovanju je popoln, zunaj njega malo manj. Ljubi sprehode in se jih ne, glede na vreme, vedno razveseli, poskakuje in teče kot mala žogica.

Lepo je videti svoje otroke, ki s učijo ob njem in od njega. Povezanost z naravo in bivanje z njo v sožitju je nekaj najlepšega kar lahko otrokom daš.

I never thought that I would spend so much time and attention to the dog. Ben was completely taken over me and the fact is that I spend most of my time just with him. He do not complain when you photographing  him, he do not bother of caressing him and he faithfully followed me everywhere I go. Of course he has his flies, right now is his time of puberty. As children test his limits. Indoor is perfect, outdoor a little less. He loves long walks and  regardless of the weather, he's always happy to go, jumping and running like a little ball.

Is nice to see my children to learn with him and from him. Connection with nature and stay with it in harmony is the greatest thing we can give to children.
