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.

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.
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.
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”.
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.
Just one hour left today to make my daily photo with my not even a month old camera. (Left part). Of course I could go to a Canon service center but it’s 11.00 PM and there’s none in the neighbourhood. Luckily I had a fully loaded spare battery, cleaning stuff and a lot of exercise with my old camera to make the right part. Not sure if the spot is on the sensor or on the tulip, but the stripe definitely was on the sensor.
