Too busy lately to post anything even though I have tons of new photos to show. Spring is here, my first group is already on the way back home and new guests arriving. This is why I am posting just a few shots of these wabbits so you know I am still alive;)

Wabbits are funny creatures, they have enormous ears, they jump instead of walk and they love carrots. Some people call them rabbits or bunnies but I prefer Elmer’s name Wabbits. I stumbled upon a bunch of them at a farmhouse at Karst area where I usually take my guests while touring Slovenia. They were lovely little creatures, nosy and very cooperative models. It’s a shame that they will end up in an oven.

First when I asked them if I can photograph, they were a bit shy.

But soon they were all over the place looking at this strange device clicking madly and moving around.

Hey widdle wabbit, listen to me very carefully.

Mama wabbit checking out what’s going on.

Widdle wabbit with ears.

Widdle wabbit without ears.

Those wabbits are such fun to photograph! If you haven’t tried it I recommend – a great practice if you want to learn how to photograph children… They all have this thing in common – they move all the time.

Oh and there is a wabbit joke:

A precious little girl walks into a pet shop and asks in the sweetest little lisp, “Excuthe me, mithter, do you keep widdle wabbits?” As the shopkeeper’s heart melts, he gets down on his knees, so that he’s on her level,and asks, “Do you want a widdle white wabby or a thoft and fuwwy bwack wabby or maybe one like that cute widdle bwown wabby over there?” She, in turn blushes, rocks on her heels, puts her hands on her knees, leans forward and says in a quiet voice, “I don’t fink my pet python weally gives a thit”

And if you want to shoot some wabbits, play this game. Very entertaining – while I was waiting my photos to upload I completed all levels.

I don’t know why this freaking spellchecker shows so many mistakes in this post?!?

Last few months have been very busy for me and this is the main reason I haven’t been posting as often as I used to. Most of the time I was (and still am) working on Photography Tours project and the result of hard work was the Creator award we received in December.

And why the End of Winter for me? Because on Tuesday I am leaving to Egypt for 11 days. I will be guiding a group of Slovenian tourists on a classic Egyptian Nile cruise with a short trip to Sinai peninsula.

When I am back there will be just a short time to prepare everything for a business trip to London where I will be promoting photography tours.

After London another overseas trip – this time to Indonesia, more exactly North Sulawesi. My girlfriend is doing voluntary work there and I am going to visit her. I plan to visit a few national parks there so expect new photos here on the blog!

On the way back to Europe I will stop at Singapore for a few days, again to promote photography tours.

When I am back from these trips there will be a Spring already and a new tourist season – no rest for me…

Enough of my plans – here are some photos I made during this Winter at various places around Slovenia.

Lake Cerknica at high water level. A total contrast to the photo at the top which was taken approx one month earlier.

Winter came late this year. First snowfall of the season I experienced in Ljubljana. Here are some more photos of that beautiful day.

Lake Bled. Stunningly beautiful in all seasons.

But the first snow was soon all gone. This shot was made on Christmas day! It was almost 15C which is unusual for this time of the year. So much of “White Christmas”. Well I love the rainbow anyway:)

January finally brought real winter temperatures. These icicles were photographed at Velika Karlovica sinkhole near Lake Cerknica.

I was planning to do star trails at Velika Planina Plateau for many years. This Winter I finally did it and it was an unforgettable experience! Some more cool shots of that night. Trust me – worth to check it out!

Planina cave. A great place to learn cave photography!

A sunset somewhere in SE Slovenia.

Pericnik Waterfall always leaves a strong impression! More photos of it from the last Winter.

My newest toy is a SB-900 Speedlight. What a great piece of equipment! Of course I needed to give it a try immediately. My girlfriend was patient and understanding model – and beautiful of course!

And this is probably the last shot I made before I hit the road. A Shrovetide festival in Ljubljana. I hope for you guys that the Kurenti succeeded to scare away the Winter!

Do you like the photos? Which one is your favourite?

On all my trips next two months I will have my laptop with me so I can post some photos while travelling. Stay tuned!

ABC boy.

Snotty nose.

Rock star.

Downy hair.

Here is a hint; Egypt, Nepal, Bosnia and Herzegovina and China. But you still have to tell which one is from which country – it is not difficult now I guess…
