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!

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
Yesterday I was in Planckendael with a photography friend, a zoo near Mechelen in Belgium. The weather was lovely and we enjoyed it a lot. 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

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
Say aah
Sunday afternoon, warm weather, time to play with Photoshop. A while ago I made a picture of two pelicans in the fly cage at Dierenpark Amersfoort. I thought it was a funny photo because it immediately reminded me of saying aah at the doctor. I have made a few different edits. The first is the READ MORE
