The natural year in Dol – 2021/00
I am alive to the natural world in which I live, observing the day to day changes as the seasons inexorably march forwards.

Where ever i am working, inside, outside or on the computer, I usually have one or more of the felines with me. Not always helping, sometimes playing, sometimes just watching, they seem to just enjoy being with me.
Autumn mornings are nice. The sun is still warm, the dew highlights things you cannot always see, like spiders webs, and there is no wind.
Autumn flowers seem to shine in the bright sunshine we get at this time of year.
The Medicane this week has brought a little cloud and with it some lovely sunset and sunrise colours.
I watched a summer storm approach the island on Tuesday. After short but intense rainfall, the skies cleared and the sun came out.
Early morning mise over the seas around Jelsa and Vrboska and the Dinaric Alps in the distance, make a timeless scene on Stari Grad Plain
There are a few visiting yachts moored in Stari Grad harbour. However it is nowhere near the number normally seen at this time of year. Also there is not a single “superyacht” which is very unusual.
I have planted several varieties of Passion Flower, including this variety Rubra.
We have passed the northern Summer Solstice, and at the end of June, there are just six months to go before we are in winter. Brrrr.
