Early Spring in the Mountains [Part 1/2]: The Uncertain Path

March is the perfect time for getaways. When you have enjoyable early spring days you can really enjoy being outside. My friends and I went into familiar territory this past weekend, namely the mountain Prenj near our weekend cottage. We had the dogs with us, which was really the main point of our outing. We wanted to enjoy a walk, though it was a bit rainy. Actually the day started out sunny, but once we got to Sanica (which is the place where our mountain cottage is located), rain started to fall. Nonetheless we ventured out into the forest uncertain of what would wait for us there...

This is a part of a two part photo series:
Part One: The Uncertain Path
Part Two: Deep in the Wilderness

Nature wasn't awake at all during our walk. It didn't really stop us from enjoying our trip but as I was taking the images I thought to myself that I have to get back here once the greens return. Beni (my Maltese), Brauni (Selma's Pit bull) and Div (our neighbors Labrador) had a great time from the get-go. Especially the part where they get into the mud and become dirty. That's what they enjoyed the most.



There is something very calming when you escape busy city life. Sure, there is the obvious reduced noise and air pollution, but there is also the connection to nature and life, that even in this early spring season starts to permeate the air.



In the image above you can see our mountain cottage with other houses surrounding it. Our neighbors have the same looking house (mirror reversed) and are friends and relatives of ours.

The dogs had the time of their life in the wilderness. The first part of our walk was spent along some houses, but soon that would change and the small glimpses of rural life would be left behind.


As you can see nature is still a bit sleepy here in the mountains. While life further south in Mostar is starting to bloom, here in the wilderness, only a few brave plants have started to wake up.


This narrow walk path over the river (image above) caught my attention. Not only is it a very unsafe way to cross the river but it is also the only way for locals to access their fertile land on the other side.
