35044. Ičo, Brajko (fresh from the Spanish east coast hinterland bienes raíces scouting), Jure and Žan in the yard


 

 


 
35045. Marjan just returned from the cave duty.


 

 


 
35046. Gregor started the quest to identify the plant he is pointing his finger to ...


 

 


 
35047. ... common consensus was that it is not wild rose.


 

 


 
35049. The lunch depicted here - vegetable stew with potatoes and pork, pancakes, peach jam and aronia juice ...


 

 


 
35048. ... was followed by the Članska vas staple, the barbecue.


 

 


 
35050. Čevapčiči on a plate, close view - the best dish there is for many, a somewhat different story for the others.


 

 


 
35051. Gregor is recounting his wonderful cave digging experience on Mt. Rombon, years ago. We were advancing in the solid rock, half a meter per hour, the end of the narrow meander was in sight all the time, excavated material was falling down by itself. In short - Milina! (pure pleasure).


 

 

Cave Entrance


 


 
35052. Five-leaflet bitter-cress, Cardamine pentaphyllos, peterolistna konopnica in Slovenian


 

 


 
35054. Many larger groves of this flower, such as the one depicted here, popped up since last week, especially in the more shadowy places, also around the rim of Radošca collapse.


 

 


 
35053. Today the cave had to do without photographer's visit. A birthmark on the left shoulder, above the scapula, was badly bruised in the entrance shaft climbing during previous excursions and some recovery time was advised.


 

 

Članska vas Village

35057. A few weeks ago Žan installed a small school board, last week Klok brought a few pieces of colored chalk and today Marjan used it to draw a heart and an arrow. Žan, naughty as ever, did not need much time to add two names to the heart, as can be seen certainly not what Marjan had in mind.
