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 24 – Detail of a tulip

None

Mr Carrot doesn’t feel well today…

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 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 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 08 – Magnolia

Picked one from my garden.

Apr 07 – Chips

A late evening photo.

Apr 02 – Dust

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.

Spent almost the whole day to get a photo right for school. Almost forgot to make my PaD. So here’s just a nice snack.

Jan 22 – Black on black

Just expressing my day today. Got home very wet and my website doesn’t work very well at the moment.

Jan 20 – Egg

Boiled egg. Always hungry when time flies.

Jan 19 – Shrimps

Spent the whole day in a studio (at school). Didn’t come out with a decent shot (but perhaps it will be different tomorrow, just very tired right now). So just some shrimps for today, almost ready for the meal.
