I spent the last couple of weeks with my family in Slovakia. I know I haven't been online for almost 3 weeks but I decided to spend quality time with my relatives without internet connection. I hope I haven't been forgotten here yet 😊
I must say that this was my most relaxing vacation in Slovakia so far. I didn't make plans and my schedule was very flexible. I also didn't feel like I had to check my emails or social media every now and then. I think that 'liberated' is the right word for how I was feeling.
We went on short trips almost every day and visited my grandma every evening. She is home-bound and always so happy when we visit her so I can't skip a day without her when we're there. She is the reason why we went on this unexpected vacation and she appreciated every minute that we spent with her.
We returned back to Switzerland on Saturday night and today I've started to put together a few posts that I want to share with you from this trip. I visited a couple of interesting places and I'm sure that you'll enjoy seeing them too.
Today I'd like to take you with me on a walk to a forest close to my hometown. It was a hot summer day and it was refreshing to hide from the sun under large trees.
We came across many beautiful insects on our way and I was pleased to take a few decent photos as usually I'm too slow or they are too impatient to wait for me to finally take a shot 😊

I think that someone else was there earlier that day as we found only one last ripe raspberry 😊

I like summer as there is so much life around us. We should pause our duties for a minute and look around us. There is so much pleasure in seeing all these wonders of nature.
Thank you for reading!
Cheers,
