Jul 02 – Bouquet

My daughter Karen got this wonderful bouquet from some teachers of her old school for getting her exams. Going to university next season.

Jun 16 – Papaver

I liked the combination of red an green here during a short walk after the rain.

Jun 07 – Peony

Main problem with a photo a day is that you don’t have always the time for it. Today was such a day, so here’s just a peony in my garden with as background a raspberry plant. The hidden spider is just a nice addition.

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.
