Birds in NaturZoo Rheine
In a short time I have been to NaturZoo Rhiene 3 times and I have not been bored. There is a lot to see. I already wrote that there are many types of animals. As an example I share a selection of bird photos that I made there. There are many more. They may still READ MORE
Owls
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

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.

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
