Ruminations from Romania: Part 5: It's picnic time.

Weather a little overcast today with a few drops of rain every now and again. What better day to choose for a picnic? We were taken into a gorge by our hosts and there we messed around in the woods and by or in the river until they called us over for the barbecue they had prepared. After that, we wandered back along a track to a nearby village (4 miles-ish), where we were picked up and driven back to the B & B.  And after that we lounged around until dinner came our way. Here are a few photos  to mark the day.

1.  Here's what happens if you fall in the river. Not recommended. And I did have a licence from the State Police to show those legs.

2.  Gabi, Christina and Ella doing some serious barbecuing.

3.  Have I shown you this shot of our shower? Low on privacy but high on getting back to nature.

4.  Rush hour in Bratca. Note the stork's nest on the telegraph pole in front of the church.

5.  A screen grab off my camera of a map butterfly. An usual butterfly to see and this one landed on my knee and stayed there for a few minutes.

6.  Another screen grab and another butterfly - this one is a silver washed fritillary. Not particularly rare but very attractive nonetheless.
