The Catcher in the Rime — Bigger & better Our former winters used to be colder, longer and better. Even a child knows that. And speaking about children: if you are too young to have experienced it yourself: we made snowballs bigger than ourselves. We didn’t have snowball fights, but ice ball wars. We used to […]

Fallow deer in the mist on a foggy sunrise — Happy 2017! I wish you all a year in which you can turn dreams into reality. A year that allows you to become, be or remain who you are, a year to tell what’s to be told and to give what should be given. And hopefully this will automatically lead […]

Roeselien snow hoar frost rime foxes — Formerly, our winters used to be constructed with care. Some freezing, some thawing. As soon as you had finally dusted your ice skates and dug up your mittens, thaw had already set in.

Foxes are famous for their mouse jumps (that’s what it’s called in my language, I have no idea what the official term could be). With their very sensitive ears, they can hear a mouse, even when it’s hidden under a thick layer of snow. They listen, prepare…and jump. The rumour […]

Het idee van een blog als dit is dat je terugblikt…. En al terugblikkend viel me iets op dat ik eigenlijk al wist, maar niet dat het zó ernstig was: Wat heb ík weinig geblogd het afgelopen jaar! Terwijl ik op woordjesgebied toch niet bepaald in crisis vekeer… Dit blog […]

Eén tip: mocht je ooit op het ludieke idee komen een fotograaf te gaan interviewen: kies vooral niet ondergetekende. Een tijdje geleden werd ik door Zoom benaderd voor een interview…en dat leek me helemaal leuk. Wist ik veel dat ik zo lastig ben. 😉 Uiteraard had ik van te voren […]

Het leuke aan nog niet zo lang bezig zijn met natuurfotografie is dat er nog héél veel eerste keren te gaan zijn. Het eerste vliegende koekoeksjong, de eerste jonge vosjes op het ijs, de eerste woudaap met prooi, de eerste parende sluipwespen, kortom: er is nog zóveel nieuws te beleven […]
