The ponds at Drostenkamp are kind of the “backyard” of the school where I work. How fantastic is that! Many colleagues walk there at lunchtime. The park is full of all kinds of water birds. And now it is full of spring. It is swarming with geese with young. Graylag geese in particular, but Egyptian READ MORE

Cute faces
Another selection of old photos. This time little monkeys with cute faces. I’ve been sick for a week. With all that beautiful weather, I would have loved to go out to photograph. But no, again no. To do something, I edited some photos. Have fun! READ MORE
Penny for your thoughts
Burgers Zoo last Wednesday. The weather was fantastic, perfect for a zoo visit. I got the chance to go, because another appointment was canceled (yes of course, corona). Too bad, but every disadvantage has its advantage. I noticed I haven’t been shooting much with my Tamron 150-600 mm lately. I didn’t react fast enough. Many READ MORE
Modern Utrecht
A day trip to a friend in Utrecht. When I go to a city, nine times out of ten I take the camera. There is plenty to see in Utrecht around Central Station. Many modern buildings. I like to photograph modern architecture. That is quite different from photographing animals, flowers, etc. In fact, I don’t READ MORE
No more lock down
Wednesday it was possible again. Finally on the road again, taking pictures. On the first day I went straight to the Orchideeënhoeve. Enjoy the colours, smells, sounds and warmth. A day in the tropics while it was cold and unpleasant outside. Below I share photos of that day.
Beautiful bugs
Currently, I am reorganizing and cleaning up my photos.It comes down to looking at all the photos. That I give the folders names, so that I can find the photos. But also that I throw away a lot of photos. That’s a lot of work. At the moment, I have 135,542 photos over the last READ MORE
Last visit to the Apenheul this season
Last Friday was still a bit late-summer. The temperature was pleasant and the weather was beautiful. Perfect for a last visit to the Apenheul After Sunday the park will be closed until the spring of 2022. I loved it. With the beautiful fall colors as a background, I made a (portrait) photo of as many READ MORE
Clearcutting on the Lemelerberg
For the first time in years I decided to photograph the nature around me again. That idea came too late for the heather to bloom. I photographed some purple tufts. But it’s not too late for mushrooms. I don’t know much about them and can’t name them. But you can always take a photo. October READ MORE
Visiting gnome country
Yesterday afternoon I went out to photograph autumn. Looking for beautifully colored leaves, pine cones, acorns and especially mushrooms. It wenst to Haarle, the Sprengenberg. That is a beautiful part of the Sallandse Heuvelrug. When I parked the car I thought: ir is so busy! I don’t like that at all, but luckily it wasn’t READ MORE
Party in the driveway
Mid-September, a beautiful day. The sun is shining and it is lovely outside. I come home by car and park the car near the hedge in the driveway. I open the car door and then I see it. There’s a party in the hedge. And it’s busy. Everything flies, buzzes and flutters. From very small READ MORE
