In the Makirijk, besides lemurs (maki’s), there are also many beautiful birds. Many duck species, such as the Wood ducks in the photos below. Nice colors! It was nice to see READ MORE

The beauty of the butterfly
“We delight in the beauty of the butterfly, but rarely admit the changes it has gone through to achieve that beauty.” ― Maya Angelou Heliconius cydno These photos were taken here:
Beautiful colors and shapes of orchids
Today my first visit to the Orchids farm in corona time. I had reserved the first time possible to enter. My estimate was good, there was hardly anyone. Wonderfully quiet and safe. It may sound selfish, but it never has to be different for me. I enjoy the peace. Of course I want everything to READ MORE
Finally I could go to the apenheul
Yesterday was the day, for the first time this year I went to the Apenheul. I have a subscription every year. Normally I would have gone there much earlier, but yes, corona made everything different. After much deliberation I made a reservation. As a caregiver you wonder whether it is possible. So on a day READ MORE

Big cats
New post with old photos. Well, not all of them are old. Some are from 2020, but it goes back to 2016. New edits and photos that have not been shared on the internet before. Big cats are one of my favorite subjects for photography. These were taken in 3 different zoos; Naturzoo Rheine and READ MORE

Feathered photos
A new blog with old photos. These are from 2018 and 2019. Birds I photographed in various zoos. Below each photo is the name of the species and where and when the photo was taken. Have fun watching 🙂
Yellow African daisies
Spanish daisies come in many different colors. I have them in the garden in white, pink and purple. They are sold as annuals, but that is nonsense. They are shrubs that bloom every year. However, they are not hardy. Because it was a mild winter, last year’s plants are now in full bloom. This week READ MORE
Fuchsia
Almost every year I buy fuchsias. They are beautiful flowers to look at. The shape also makes it beautiful subjects to photograph. Unfortunately, they are very sensitive to aphids. I never kill insects, because they all have a function in nature. The aphids can cause so much damage to the plants that I do try READ MORE
