Water Watcher

The Netherlands, Oegstgeest – February 2024

A familiar sight in the neighborhood. He never looks good on iPhone but now on Nikon the details of his feathers are quite impressive.

Magnolia

The Netherlands, Oegstgeest – January 2024

After dropping its leaves the Magnolia immediately prepares to grow out again in Spring, I always wonder where they get their weather information.

Glass

The Netherlands, Oegstgeest – February 2024

The theme for the weekly Lens-Artists Photo Challenge #289 is ‘tools of photo composition’.  Light, form and shapes when they appear not to be there.

Magnolia Triple

The Magnolia is in front of the house, outside the kitchen window. Lens Artists Photo Challenge #288 is ‘window shopping’. It is a beautiful view to see it daily taking small steps into Spring.

Going for Gold

Lens Artists Photo Challenge #288 is ‘window shopping’. Most of the time it is an activity associated with shop displays. I take a different angle, and use windows to shop for something new.

Flying Blues

This week’s Lens Artists Challenge #287 is ‘Sound’. Seeing this incoming flight immediately gives the association of its sound. The memory provides that information instantaneously. The image pleases the eye, it is not necessarily the ears agree.

Mono Flowers

The Netherlands, Oegstgeest- December 2023

Being spoiled by the availability of fresh and cheap cut flowers all year, I’m not too fond of fake flowers. But sometimes they make a nice statement.

Circles

The Netherlands, Oegstgeest – January 2024

For LAPC #285 is ‘warm colors’. Temperature is not high right now but the warmth of color in the sun is something to enjoy.

Cheese

The Netherlands, Oegstgeest – December 2024

Each year the supply of items for the Christmas tree grows. How more Dutch can it get with this cheesy one?

Merry Christmas to all!

Amaryllis

The Netherlands, Oegstgeest – October 2023

Some photos do not fit the LAPC’s themes, so there is a rest category ‘last chance’ being #280. I never am guided by the themes in the photos I shoot. Some fit in, some don’t. But I never know the theme while shooting. I’m privileged to live in a country with lots of flowers, having fresh ones weekly in the house.

Gypsophila

The Netherlands, Oegstgeest – November 2023

Flowers are colorful but sometimes more color is added artificially. The lens artists photo challenge #279 is ‘magical’.

Rain and Shine

A Magnolia tree. Autumn is a time of rapid changes. It can be light and sunny with wonderful colors on display, or grim and dim in rain. Both have its unique beauty in my humble opinion.

The lens artists photo challenge #278 is ‘unique’.

Rain

The Netherlands, Oegstgeest – November 2023

The pattern of raindrops or the clouds through the window is unique each time you watch it. The wind being the big agency driving it all. The lens artists photo challenge #278 is ‘unique’.
