3 BEAUTIFUL GDINJ BAYS: JEDRA, SRHOV DOLAC AND VEPRINOVA

I'm taking my mission to show you the most beautiful bays and beaches on island Hvar very seriously. There are so many of them, though. At times I will  include more than one beautiful bay in my posts.  Today I'll share with you three bays: bay Jedra, bay Srhov dolac and bay Veprinova. We visited all of these bays back in March when I also visited Skozanje bay. If you remember, it was the day when I decided to show all of the Gdinj's southern bays to my husband. Now is the time to share some of them with you as well.  As I already explained, Gdinj's bays are mostly oriented towards ecological, Robinson and family tourism. They are a great choice for anyone who is looking for crystal clear sea and unspoiled nature.

BAY JEDRA
Bay Jedra is a lovely small bay with a beautiful private pebble beach.  It is situated between bay Lučica and bay Srhov dolac. When we approached it, I was impressed with the beautiful olive trees. The stone houses in this bay are all available for rent and offer apartments that are only about ten to fifteen meters away from the beach. These stone apartment houses are a delight. They are all build in the same style, resembling the original stone house that was here first. It is almost like it is a single house in a continuation. The gardens with Mediterranean herbs are wonderful. 
Uvala Jedra je  lijepa mala uvala sa privatnom plažom. Ako volite plaže s oblucima, ovo je idealno mjesto za vas. Kada smo joj prošli, veoma su mi se svidjeli maslinici. Kamene kuće u ovoj uvali su dostupne za iznamljivanje i nude apartmane koji su samo desetak metara od mora. Ove kamene kuće su divne. Sve su sagrađene u istom stilu i slične originalnoj kamenoj kući koja je bila u ovoj uvala. Skoro pa je to sve ista kuća u nastavku. Vrtovi s mediteranskim biljem su divni.

BAY SRHOV DOLAC
Bay Srhov dolac is located next to bay Jedra. It also has a lovely pebble beach, plenty of greenery and great views. We didn't have time to go into the bay itself, so we just took photographs and enjoyed the view of it from a wall that was in process of being build or it looked so. There was some construction work being done on the wall when we visited, but I'm not sure to exactly what extent. Maybe just a big wall to secure the road. I can't tell. Anyhow, this bay looks lovely as well. I think I remember visiting it as a kid. 
Uvala Srhov dolac smještena je pored uvale Jedra. Ona također ima lijepu plažu s oblucima, puno zelenila i lijepe poglede. Nismo imali vremena spustiti se u same uvale, tako smo smo se fotografili i uživali u pogledu za zida koji je u procesu izgradnje ili se barem tako činilo. Bilo je nekih radova za zidu kada smo bili tamo, ali nisam sigurna u kojoj mjeri, možda samo rade veliki zid za osigurati cestu. Ne mogu reći. Uglavnom, ova uvala lijepo izgleda. Mislim da se sjećam da sam ju posjetila kada sam bila mala. 
BAY VEPRINOVA
Bay Veprinova has quite a large and beautiful pebble beach. During the summer there is also a fish restaurant opened here that is supposedly very good. I noticed that are quite a few new houses in this bay. When we visited last time, there was some construction work being done. It seems like a new house is being build or something. 
Uvala Veprinova ima poprilično veliku plažu s oblucima. Tijekom ljeta je tu otvoren riblji restoran za koji kažu da je dobar. Primjetila sam da u ovoj uvali ima nekih novih kuća. Zadnji put kada smo posjetili, bilo je nekih građevinskih radova. Čini se da se radi nova kuća ili tako nešto.
That would be all for now. Thank you for reading and have a lovely day.

    Hey Ivana, hope you're having a good start of the month and of the week!

    This scenario is definitely the better place to spend our quarantine days, good to know that despite everything you're able to breath some fresh air and get your necessary dose of nature, that's something priceless nowadays! I wouldn't mind to wake up here, this reminds me of the sea in the Balearic Islands by the way!

THE ISLAND OF THE MISSING TREES BY ELIF SHAFAK (BOOK REVIEW AND RECOMMENDATION)

Image
Today I shall review The Island of Missing Trees by Elif Shafak. I was actually gifted this book. What a wonderful present it proved to be! Published in 2021, this postmodern  novel  follows two  story lines and uses framed narration.  The Island of Missing Trees  tells the life story of a Greek Turkish couple and their adolescent daughter.  This novel examines and explores a number of topics such as identity, migration, immigrant life, war trauma, memory, love and family. It's an ambitious novel that examines serious topics with due respect and sensitivity . I read it months ago, but I remember it vividly. Honestly, I cried a lot while reading this novel. It really moved me greatly. In fact, that is probably why it took me this long to finish this book review. I needed to emotionally process the story.   The Island of Missing Trees is   set in London and Cyprus. The narration isn't chronological .  The story jumps back and forth, following two main timelines, one set in moder

SUPPORTING LOCAL DESIGNERS IN MOSTAR: TRANSITIONAL AUTUMN STYLING WITH OZZ BRAND

Image
Hello readers and fellow bloggers! In this post, I'll share two transitional outfits featuring a lilac skirt from fashion designer Stanka Zovko. If you're a regular reader of this blog, you've probably seen this skirt before. Afterall, I'm really good at shopping my closet. I've been wearing this lilac skirt a lot in the past few months. It's also a great piece for transitional weather because it can be easily layered, or dressed up and down.  Supporting local designers and artisans is certainly something that pays off in the long run. If you want to own unique pieces and at the same time, support your local community, you should really explore shopping local, or commissioning local artisans and designers.  Sustainability in fashion is a big topic nowadays! However, sometimes I feel like people make it more complicated than it really is. We should go back to our origins. Explore vintage, second hand and local shopping.

FORGIVENESS DAY BY URSULA K. LE GUIN (BOOK REVIEW AND AN AUTUMN STYLING)

Image
Hello dear readers and fellow bloggers! How are you today? I'm back with another Ursula K. Le Guin book review. In this post, I'll review " Forgiveness Day" , a science fiction novella that is a part of the Hainish Circle. Published in 1995, "Forgiveness Day " won multiple awards. This novella is often published together with her other novellas from the Hainish Circle, and it can be find in various editions of Four Ways to Forgiveness and Five Ways to Forgiveness.   Thematically, this novella is a part of five stories featuring two Hainish planets, but it can definitely be read on its own. I think it functions well as a stand alone novella. I listened to it in audio form, and I didn't have any problems following the story.  The world building is simple and effective. The author fills us in about the history of the two planets as the story enfolds. For such a short work of prose, this novella is really impressive in that it manages to explore the theme o

MALTA HIKING TALES (PART FIVE) GHAJN TUFFIEFA AND QUARABBA BAY

Image
Hello dear readers and fellow bloggers! I'm back with another Malta themed post. Recently I posted a painting inspired by Malta. As some of you might remember, I visited Malta a few years ago, but I only blogged about it last April, when I published a series of post on Malta. My series about Malta isn't finished, though. In fact, today we're going to continue it. Considering my stay on Malta was two weeks long, it deserves more than a couple of posts. There is a lot to see and do on Malta. It's a small island, but one that's filled with so much life and beauty. Although Malta faces some problems caused by fast tourism, it remains an unique and magical island.  In this post, I'll take you to the bays I visited while hiking on Malta. One of them (Ghajn Tuffieha Bay) is the one I painted. You can visit that post by clicking on the link below: TRAVEL WITH MY ART #43, GHAJN TUFFIEHA BAY, MALTA LET'S START WITH THE GOLDEN BAY We actually didn't go all the way

THE ANT AND THE GRASSHOPPER, A SHORT STORY BY W. SOMERSET MAUGHAM

Image
Hello dear readers and fellow bloggers! Welcome November! We'll welcome this new month with a blog review. In this post, I'll share my review for Maugham's short story titled T he Ant and the Grasshopper . This post will also be  a reading recommendation because I enjoyed this story a great deal. I've been reading Maugham's The Complete Short Stories for some time now. I've been taking my time with this collection, but I enjoyed it a lot. When I finish this book in its entirely, I'll share a review for all of his stories. Until then, I'll keep posting individual reviews of stories I liked the most. If you want to read Maugham yourself, you can find his collected works online (among other places  on project Gutenberg ) and read them for free.  W. Somerset Maugham is a writer whose subtle use of humour is delightful, but sometimes it's easy to miss it just because it's so subtle. He's wonderful at mixing the harsh realities of life with clever

FASHION ILLUSTRATION FRIDAY WATERCOLOUR: LONG DRESSES AND DE PROFUNDIS QUOTES!

Image
 Hello dear readers and fellow bloggers! It's almost ten. I've had a long week and I'm quite tired and sleepy. However, I'll try to wrap this post up for you tonight. What kind of post? Well, a post about art. Fashion art to be more precise.  I've been on a roll lately with my art posts. After a period of not posting my art at all, due to a variety of reasons, I started posting my art in every post. I got back to my destination art series, and now it's time for another post in my fashion art series. Friday Fashion Illustration  is somewhat of a regular feature on my blog. Today I'll share two watercolour pencil fashion illustrations of mine. I sketched both of them this Summer in my A3 mixed media sketchbook. I sketched the long yellow dress first, and then the blue and read one. The medium for both of them is watercolour pencils on paper, the same brand I always use. I find watercolour pencils to be quite practical, especially for sketching. I often use the
