May 04 – Nature Made in a park near my work. Don’t know what kind of flower or weed this is, or even what the name of the bug is. Doesn’t look like a normal fly to me.
May 01 – White dead netlle It was hot today. Needed some fresh air after lunch. Found this white dead nettle (I think). Didn’t noticed the yellow guys (or girls) before I saw the photo on screen.
Apr 30 – Tompouce (or just a sad day) Should have been a very nice Queens Day today, but some lunatic decided to kill 6 people (still 9 injured) and himself.
Apr 29 – Reflection a a painting It’s a reflecion in an old, somewhat damaged, but still working clock.
Apr 26 – Music on a bike Spent the whole (nice) afternoon photographing beach volleyball and other activities in Oostzaan, a nearby village. It was the first time the “Ronde van Noordholland”, a yearly cycle course, was visiting this village.

Apr 25 – Almost a flower Pruned (a part of) my hedge today, so not much time and energy for photography. Here’s a detail which is not pruned. Not sure, but my guess is this is the starting blossom of a blackthorn.
Apr 23 – Blue weed Some weed I picked from my garden. It was late and dark. Never too old to learn So this is a “forget-me-not”, or “vergeet-me-nietje” (in Dutch). I knew such a flower existed, but I didn’t know I had it in my garden.
Apr 21 – Ant After a busy day at work I took some photos in my garden. Trying to capture a small flower (some weed) I discovered an ant on it.
Apr 20 – White flower A flower from my garden. Not sure about the species yet, but I hope to find out soon.
Apr 19 – Hockey Another beautiful hockey day. This time 6-0 for the “good” side. This is just a moment before one of the goals. Hockey: Rood Wit 5 – Kraaien 2: 0-6
Apr 17 – Tulip No tulip yet this month, so here it is. I know, the glass should be cleaner, but it’s almost midnight (again).
Apr 16 – Gymnastics Some nice people of the gymnastics club Kwiek did some exercises for the photo club tonight.
Apr 12 – Coccinellidae Another (more well known) beetle in my garden on a raspberry leaf. I found so many names of this species that I used the Latin name. We call it a “lieveheersbeestje”.
Apr 11 – Lilioceris lilii A beetle in my garden on a warm day in the spring. Think this is a “leliehaantje” (Dutch) or “lily leaf beetle” (English), but please correct me if it’s otherwise. Not sure if I have any lilies, but he/she looked happy.
Apr 06 – Museum Photography museum in Amsterdam. We went with school to an exhibition of Richard Avedon.
