It’s been quite some time since I’ve made a blog. I just didn’t get around to it. Busy with other things all holiday. I did take pictures. Now it’s time to share them. I have discovered a very nice quiet spot where you can photograph very beautiful butterflies and insects. It is the garden of READ MORE

Colorful cleaning
After a while of being far too busy, finally vacation. Time for taking pictures and editing. I took the photos in this blog in the Orchideeënhoeve. A series with scarlet macaws, new residents of the park. They are beautiful birds, but they have to do something for that. Like other birds, macaws spend a lot READ MORE
Forrest person
A blog with orangutans. Photos I took last week in the Apenheul. Orangutans are not my favorite primate. They are endearing, but also a bit bizarre with their long arms. On the other hand, those arms are of course meant to live up in the trees. There they are strong and agile. Their awkwardness is READ MORE
Gyasi and baby Kiango
Finally the time has come, we can go to zoos in the Netherlands again and now also to Germany. But after six months I will stay in the Netherlands for the time being. I have now thoroughly enjoyed it. Including 2 times in the Apenheul. Before the entire covid period, I had planned to photograph READ MORE
Birding
If the zoos stay closed and you still want to photograph animals, you have to go out into nature. I chose to go birding at Drostenkamp. Also in other places, but the photos in this blog were all taken in Park Drostenkamp. Photographing birds without a bird hut is not easy. Of course they always READ MORE
Cormorants
Sometimes you just have to be lucky. I have often tried to take beautiful pictures of cormorants. I regularly see them fishing in the Overijssels canal or in Park Drostenkamp. You see me walking back and forth hoping that I can just take a nice picture when the cormorant comes up after its dive. It’s READ MORE
Cuteness overload at Drostenkamp
It really is spring. In the past few days I have been to Park Drostenkamp several times to photograph. For birding and of course also for the chicks out there. And there are many. Fortunately the weather is good. Really wonderful! Hopefully it will also stay well in the May holidays. Warm is nice, but READ MORE
Robins
Yesterday morning I went out early with the camera. No world trip, but just to Park Drostenkamp in our village. The goal was to photograph geese and their chicks. I did that too, but first this robin came into the picture. You couldn’t ignore him. He sang as if his life depended on it and READ MORE
Digital Watercolor Painting
Over the years I have purchased quite a number of Photoshop actions. Today was a good time to play with one of them. The “Digital Watercolor Painting” action makes a photo look like a watercolor. Lighter photos are more suitable than dark ones. I’m sharing some results. I mainly used old photos. READ MORE
