The animals are active and look good. A lovely place to photograph. Also the interior rooms are spacious, nicely accessible, making this zoo a good place READ MORE

Butterflies in the Orchichideeën Hoeve
A blog to watch. A collection of photos of butterflies in the butterfly garden of the Orchideeën Hoeve in Luttelgeest. I have had a subscription for several years. I like going there if the weather is less beautiful in the winter and autumn. I then enjoy extra tropical colors, smells and sounds. A beautiful place!
Funny face
Again a number of photos taken in Planckendael near Mechelen. This time pictures of emu’s. Such funny animals ! I photographed two. This is the first one I saw. A somewhat grayish type, but with a cheerful expression. They have beautiful expressive eyes. This is number two. Much darker of “hair”. He/she was always close READ MORE
Flowers in Planckendael
Planckendael is the zoo at Mechelen in Belgium. I was there this week and it was a wonderful day. It is a beautiful zoo where the animals have a lot of space. I am always very happy about that. Tiled rooms and cages are no longer possible. That was never possible, but then people did READ MORE
Elephants in Planckendael

What is special, is that the animals are very spacious housed. The elephants also have a lot of space. You can see that they enjoy the water. A beautiful sight. READ MORE

Insects at Groenrijk
Today I had to photograph my bad mood away :P. That is why I went to Groenrijk Raalte with the camera. I’m allowed to take pictures there and enjoy going there. They always have so many beautiful flowers. I have of course photographed flowers. And where there are flowers, there are insects. Wonderful to look READ MORE
Smartphone Zinnea
Like every Saturday morning I was with my mother for a cup of coffee this morning. After that I always do the shopping for the weekend. I did not have a camera with me. My mother had a beautiful bunch of Zinneas on the table. Of course, photos had to be made. So I used READ MORE
The news paper
Had to try something new with my photos and Photoshop. It was a time-consuming search. 3 photos in this blog. I wanted more, but I did not succeed. Why that is, you can read below. The idea was to do something digital with newspapers. It seemed a nice idea to me and I thought it READ MORE
Poke the bear
Playing with Photoshop and a picture of a brown bear taken in Dierenpark Amersfoort. This gray old bear looks very dangerous. I don’t exactly know what he was doing. But for a long time he looked at the public like this. Of course I only had one reaction: click! A nice photo to play with READ MORE
