An magical fairy tale under a peaceful sky... #TheLongestTrip // I'm m at this moment

I immerse myself in a wonderful magical fairy tale when I close the door of my apartment and go for a walk... After all, life under the peaceful sky of Turkey is a fairy tale for me!
When we become adults, we lose the childlike ability to wonder and admire what we see around us... If you have children, you probably remember those wide-open eyes of your baby when he was a few months old, or a few years old... Adults lose it in their constant running from problems...
But I am a person who admires every flower, the sky, the cats I meet, the wind on my face, the orange sunset...
If you are also such a person, then I invite you to enjoy my walk. After all, our life under a peaceful sky is in itself a miracle, given to us by a loving God!

I go out to the terrace, where there are beautiful views of Kemer, and the first beautiful picture I take is the dark clouds over the mountains, which give the impression of a soft warm blanket :)
I go down from my third floor to a small courtyard where there are gardens of private houses. And now I see a cute picture: my familiar gray tailless cat (who is recognized as the first male here 😜 ) is sleeping in the grass, and next to him is a cute white kitty. I say: kis - kis... The cat raises its head, but the gray cat continues to sleep 😂 Well, you know: a woman's sleep is sensitive, unlike a man!

My mood is great and I continue my walk through the sunny streets of Kamer, surrounded by flowers and the scent of roses. What an amazing winter when it's 17 degrees outside.
I stop by the "Friends" cafe and take a few photos of a beautiful pink rose. It warms my heart with gratitude. Our eyes give us the incredible ability to enjoy this incredible creation!

We walked for a long time and it was already getting colder. Two cute dogs were lying in the grass, warming themselves next to each other, curled up in balls :) But we need to go to drink hot tea and eat.
Yesterday, my daughters and I found a new cozy cafe Dem Ocakbası & Restaurant with a traditional Turkish wood-fired oven. And today we decided to go there for lunch...

A table was set up for us right next to the stove and we enjoyed the warmth and sound of the wood burning while we ate. Here, according to Turkish traditions, adjika and salad are served for free. And also, of course, tea in a special glass with a narrow neck, which keeps the tea hot for a long time.

I sat down on the turkish patterned sofa and noticed the books. I became interested in reading Turkish. It was fun. I read like a first grader without understanding anything :) The owner of the cafe gave me this book so I could practice at home.

There was a very beautiful cat here, and my Victoria took some fascinating photos. And then she edited the photo, after which the cat began to look fabulous with strange green eyes against the background of orange brick walls!
I wanted to hold this gorgeous cat in my arms, but she had a temper. And quickly ran away from me. Like: enjoy my beauty from afar. At the same time, another cat came to my youngest daughter who needed petting. An interesting photo came out in dynamics.

And later we enjoyed the crimson sky at sunset. Is it possible not to admire this fairy tale of life, which gives us new beautiful moments every day.

For example, next to the ripe oranges, new flowers have appeared on the trees, and this aroma of blooming orange trees fills the February evenings in Kemer.

Thanks for the great initiative #wednesdaywalk by @tattoodjay :)

On March 1, it will be two years since we left our native Ukraine, into which the war sent us... and went on our #TheLongestTrip
My daughters and I became inhabitants of planet Earth.
Thank you to all of you who read and follow our lives 💕

Чудовий допис, як завжди, Оленько! Та ще з такими чарівними трояндами!))) Сьогодні - День зустрічі зими з весною... Вітаю тебе і твоїх донечок! Чекаємо на весну та на Перемогу!

Я рада, що вам сподобалась моя казкова прогулянка :)

Looking at the flowers alone is an evidence that Kamer is indeed a beautiful place to be. That cute Cat caught my attention with his cute green eyes.

Thanks to the editing of this photo - the cat became fabulous :)

You are welcome 🤗

You had a wonderful walk in Kamer.
It seems to me that in the beautiful authentic place where you had lunch (and drinking tea) it is very warm considering that it is 17° outside and that the wood stove heats up a lot?

Kemer has an interesting feature: it is warm during the day, but it gets cold in the evening due to high humidity.
Therefore, sitting near the stove is very good :)

With the sounds of crackling fire 🙂

One thing is certain, when the space you are staying in is nicely heated, you will easily take off your excess clothes, but if that space is cold, it is by no means pleasant to stay in it.

This place where you were, with the wood-burning stove and the host's cat, books and a player on the shelves, exudes warmth.
Magical🙂

When the weather is beautiful like this, there are dark clouds, then the mood of a person becomes good. It is good to see such things. A healthy life leads a person.

I'm glad you enjoyed my walk with me :)

Kamer is a beautiful place indeed with lots of beautiful flowers, cafe, your cat is cute.

I'm glad you liked :)

I also admire flowers a lot and there are so many beautiful places like Karmer here in my country too
I hardly go there though cos I always get busy with so many things

I wish you more often find time to visit such beautiful places!

Looks like an authentic cafe. Brewing tea on a stove is very traditional for us. It would be lovely to say in such a place during a wintery day ;)

I really like this Turkish tradition - brewing tea in two-story teapots. There is strong tea in the upper one. And there is boiling water in the lower kettle.

I know, I brew everyday :)

Sitting and eating a Turkish Traditional Restaurant is a lot of fun with their foods and i hope you enjoyed it a lot. are you ever visit any Pakistani Traditional Restaurant?

How cute these cats are !
