Owls are among my favorite birds. That is because of their behavior and their beautiful eyes. In the past years I have taken many pictures. I’m sharing photos with the species and where the photo was taken under the photo. Unfortunately many people like owls and feel they want them as pets. As far as READ MORE

A grey old man
If your follow my photography longer, you know I love primates. One of my absolute favorites are chimpanzees. My favourite chimpanzee is Mike. Ever since I made my first photos of him I was impressed. Yesterday I went to Dierenpark Amersfoort again. I went there to see Mike and the new member of his family, READ MORE
NaturZoo Rheine
Last week I went to NaturZoo Rheine for the first time. A colleague of mine always said, why don’t you go there, it’s pretty close. I thought why not. Long story short: I immediately took out a subscription. What a wonderful zoo! Not very large and a limited number of large animals, but very many READ MORE
Flying colors …
Birds, they come in to many colors. Some birds have many colors on their own. That is the kind of birds I’m sharing in this post. Most photos were taken last Wednesday. I visited Naturzoo Rheine for the first time. I love that zoo and I wil visit it again soon. Only the Rainbow lorikeet READ MORE
Slippers
Looking at the title, you might have expected this post to be about shoes. Naaaah! My photos are seldom about shoes. I’m sharing photos of Venus slippers, all taken at the Orchideeën Hoeve. The official name is Paphiopedilum. I wrote more specific names under several photos. I have to say that I’m guessing based on READ MORE
Animals at the Orchideeën Hoeve
More photos from my visit to the Orchideeën Hoeve last Wednesday. In the past it was mainly a place to admire flowers where they also had a lori garden and a butterfly garden. Meanwhile more and more animals and birds are added. In almost all gardens there are birds, in the greenhouses sometimes wild birds READ MORE
Butterflies a bit different
A new blog with photos taken at the Orchideeën Hoeve. This time there were a lot of butterflies and also many different species. Again I made many pictures again. My goal this time was to make the pictures a little bit different. I usually try to photograph a butterfly on a beautifully colored flower. Then READ MORE
Meerkats at the Orchideeënhoeve
Today I visited the Orchideeën Hoeve again. I wanted to do extensive photography again. There was too much wind outside to make something beautiful. Landscaps may be possible, but that is simply not my thing. So I went there early to be there before the crowd arrived. The Orchideeën Hoeve continues to expand. The newest READ MORE
Playing with flowers
The weather was fantastic today. Unfortunately I had to do a few chores at home. But I did find time to photograph flowers outside and enjoy the weather. I put the flowers I have in my house in the garden and started to work. I share some of the photos that I took. I also READ MORE
Colorful animal twirls
More results of playing with Photoshop actions in combination with my animal photos. I always take a lot of photos and I make different edits of them. And I throw away a lot! By far the majority end up in the trash or in my “dusty” photo archive (read the NAS where I store my READ MORE
