Flower field .

August 27, 2018

Let me go into the nature, lay in the flower field and I will be the happiest girl :) Even now I look at this photo and it looks like this trip was ages ago. So busy at work with planning/scheduling and all other new stuff that it's so hard to find time to do other things. Should I mention weddings on weekends? How about this - 10 weddings in two months? While working non stop. Seems like a quite busy season but I really enjoy both jobs and don't want to stop. But let's go back to this great trip in Vancouver Island!

A little bit squinting in this photo, but sun was so strong aaaand I tend to squint so much even on cloudy days so no surprise :) Anyway, after our stop at Hot Poles in Sooke we continued our trip to Creyke Point.

Mini session in the forest. We walked like for good half an hour until we realized that we are walking to completely opposite direction :) But I have to say that this forest was very very beautiful and somehow I could sense how old it was. Blame the… — Mini session in the forest. We walked like for good half an hour until we realized that we are walking to completely opposite direction :) But I have to say that this forest was very very beautiful and somehow I could sense how old it was. Blame the setting sun or whatever you want but when walking in this forest I've imagined days way back in the past when first people discovered it...

this is our last spot that we were looking for :)

After this we made ourselves last dinner in this forest and enjoyed some night photography in the beach :)

Morning in a campsite .

August 12, 2018

Daily morning routine: start fire, prep your food, cook and enjoy :)

I know this looks very much like a potatoe, but it's actually mango ;) Our dessert :)

I think I said this million times, but I looooove slow mornings. I love to wake up without alarm clock, wait for my breakfast and then.... prepare coffee. It's like my ritual to start a day in a right way. And this morning was just right for it. We actually planned one day where we won't go anywhere. We stayed at our campsite, made food, read book, played with BB gun and took a nap in hammock :) and it was great, to escape from checking time and just enjoy a day :)

Next day we went to visit Hot Poles and stopped at this never finished resort. The ruins are huge, this fireplace was supposed to be a master piece of the place. Never happened, but now it's an interesting object to visit.

Water looked super crystal, but it was very very cold so I stayed on rocks to enjoy sun like iguana ;)

Berries for lunch. I will continue this days' adventures on the next post :)

French beach on a weekday.

August 5, 2018

When your work hours are not regular 9 to 5 your long weekend is on weekdays. Sounds great right? :) Indeed! We did go camping after Canada Day to French Beach in Vancouver Island. This was the perfect mini escape vacation. The camping ground look very much like Golden Ears (where we went with Morta and Andrius in April), just no showers and also pretty much no reception.

We got all our firewood from Layla's boyfriend. It's such a life saver! We always end up having more then we need, but we don't imagine camping without fire. Also this time I felt like only we did this 'old school' camping where we slept in a tent. Everyone else had their RV's and it looked like they moved their mini house to the forest. Meanwhile we built our own chairs from these wooden blocks. At the end we always put them in fire like saying 'till the next time' :)

My little beautiful kettle did a perfect job in mornings. The best thing about this kettle that the handle doesn't get hot so you can easily put in on fire.

After we settle down our only goal for the first day was to visit Mysterious Beach. I think it was less then 30min drive from our camping site. We entered a very beautiful forest full of ferns and we also had to pass a suspension bridge. The trail itself is poorly marked so be aware of that. Our goal was to see a sunset their but we didn't want to go back in a dark. I felt like it would be super easy to get lost in there.

Some people were camping on this beach which I found really cool thing to do.

On our way back we stopped at this beach to take some photos and to enjoy sunset colours :)

Our small campsite and fairy lights to make it look more cozy ;)

The funniest thing was to make this barley soup in fire light only. And you know what? There is nothing better then making food on fire! It was sooooo delicious! We both love soups and it was like the best desert after a long day adventures :)

A very special morning .

July 10, 2018

We've already spent couple days in Mexico so we feel like pro in our resort :) This was very lazy morning. But! We made an effort an woke up early to take some sunrise photos and after this we had a horse ride on a beach :) mm~~ I ride a horse once in my life at my uncles farm when I was 10y.o. If I remember correctly it was like 10min ride with no saddle. Haha wild horse riding ;} I was really excited to try it as an adult and to refresh my memories :)

Sunrise photos and our resort looks pretty empty :)

My beautiful horse was named Margarita :) I found her to be quite calm, but naughty at the same time. We slowly walked on a beach and then stopped for a photo. After our guide took like 50 images of us he said that it's time to go back, but Youn asked him if we could go somewhere else and pointed to these bushes that you see in a photo below. In my head I thought I don't know if I can do this, if I have skills, etc etc.... But then I realized that if I will be still on a horse, Margarita will not drop me. Too much trust? Maybe :) We turned into this little desert and this is where I felt like we are in Mexico just to travel. Just two of us. No resorts, no tourists, wild beautiful nature, hot sun at 10am, iguanas resting on hot rocks, big birds flying above us probably looking for dead meat and a white goat feeding her baby :)

Isn't this amazing? I love this photo a lot :))

Just steps away from our resort wild nature seems to be untouched. Baby goat looking at us :)

I think that not a lot of tourists actually ask to go into this area, so Margarita was really happy and started to snack while we were in there. And I thought it's quite funny because I like to snack all the time :) So we were a good match for each other :)

After this I was chilling in a beach area, spend time reading my book enjoying time where I had no plans waiting for me :)
