May 28 – Shadow and light

I just liked the lights and shadows on this one.

May 27 – Wild beauty

Some “weed” near my pond.

May 26 – Thistle

Think it’s a thistle, don’t know which variant. Made on a rainy short walk.

May 25 – White on white

White flowers and a white background.

May 24 – Bellis perennis

We call them “madeliefjes”. Everywhere in the grass at the moment.

May 23 – Yellow

Some yellow flowers with as background a B&W photo I just printed. Bad experience after this photo. Tripod fall down. Camera still working!! Remote transmission for flash light missing some parts, but (with help of some tape) still working.

May 22 – Chestnut

Flowers are almost gone, but the chestnuts are coming.

May 21 – Chives

Just a quick shot while making dinner. Used a flash here.

May 20 – Flower from my hedge

Picked a flower from my hedge for today.

May 19 – Viola curtisii

Couldn’t find an English name for this one. We call it “duinviooltje”, literally translated “dune violet”. Grows in the dunes near the sea. They looked so lovely with the dew in the early morning sunlight.

May 16 – 6 days later…

A lot of beauty of my “May 10 — A lot of beauty of my “May 10″ flowers is already gone, but I still like the colors.

May 15 – Teardrop

Made a lot a photos of this (unknown) flower lately, but there was always another one I preferred. All my photos today aren’t as sharp as I would like, but I liked the raindrops here.

May 14 – Wild flower

Needed some fresh air. Found this beauty. No idea what it is, but I like it. Added: Seems to be a “Silene vulgaris”

May 13 – Forget me not

A “forget-me-not” with as background my new (used) car I picked up today. Could use some more polish

May 12 – Bee and blue

Found a hedge with this beautiful blue flowers (and some bees). Very cropped and a full midday sun

May 11 – From my garden…

Just picked a branch from my garden, washed it and made a photo of it. No idea about the species.

May 10 – Peony

The “Motherdays” flowers I bought for my wife. She loves them. Hope I can make another one this month when they are really beautiful.

May 09 – Purple lilac

Near the (always very windy) hockey field.

May 08 – Bug on white

Another wild flower. No names yet

May 07 – Orange kalanchoe

No time for outdoor photos today but we have this plant with tiny orange flowers at the moment (and luckily my wife knew the name).

May 06 – Holly (the flowers)

Just noticed today, my holly tree has flowers. Very small, but it really are flowers. So I picked a small piece of it (it needs a lot of trimming anyway) and tried to make something out of it. Too much spiderwebs and other dust to make it really great, but that’s nature and I like it this way.

May 05 – Buttercup

It was a cloudy and rainy day.

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 03 – Orchid

None

May 02 – Bird cherry

Very nice smelling flowers with dew drops on a very early morning in the dunes.

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.
