Green power

An old almost forgotten and overgrown 2 horse power traction gras mower.

Een hernia en een zogende ree

Vanmorgen was ik vroeg wakker. Niet dat ik daar zo'n behoefte aan had. Om de pijn in mijn rug te verzachten ben ik eerst een stukje gaan fietsen. Camera voor de zekerheid toch maar mee. Nog maar net onderweg kom ik in de Mieden (op de ijsbaan van Twijzel) een ree tegen met twee kalfjes. Eén van de kalfjes kreeg, nadat het eerst met de voorpoten op moeders rug klom een slokje. Niet veel later had moeder mij in de smiezen en was de voorstelling afgelopen. Vanwege de afstand is het technisch gezien niet het mooiste plaatje. Daarom voeg ik er eentje uit de oude doos bij.

Koud omdat de meidoorn bloeit?

Ja, volgens mijn buurman zou dat het geval moeten zijn. Maar op dit moment is het windstil en zacht.

Old barn treasures #1

Today I spent some time inside the old barn. That's where I keep my '63 Fordon Dexta. Currently it does not run due to a bad battery and probably the rust will cause the mechanics not to rotate. I have work to do here. In the background there are some old wooden doors. This photo was taken using a lensbaby control freak. Enjoy!

Beautiful colors

Today I was out in my garden to check what the first sun did to the flowers. Again nature is working hard to attract bees and all kinds of other insects. I'll post the insect macro's another day, for now enjoy these colors of spring! And if you did forget about mothersday, send her a link to this page or order her a print to keep on enjoying when these flowers have withered.

#lensbaby monument (repost)

Yesterday when I drove back home from my work in Amsterdam towards where I live in the northern part of The Netherlands I (yes again) stopped on the "Afsluitdijk". Now for some #lensbaby playtime. I took this photo of a monument on the middle of this "enclosure dam". I like the focus on the horizontal roof part.

Liberation day

Today it's the Dutch liberation day (second world war).  This photo is related with that to some extend. The pigeons that left these eggs I found on the farmyarrd just started a new begin, just like our country then.

Did the yellow creatures arrive?

No they did'nt. It's just a horse flower detail.

What if...

...the weather today was like this flower yesterday?
