Last Field
All the bulb flowers of Spring are now gone. We have to wait for next year to see tulips, daffodils and hyacinths ruling the fields of our flat lands. Until then we enjoy nature exploding in its full force, and after that its decline into Winter. But for now it’s amazing how fast everything springs out.

Landscape of Hyacinths
The Netherlands, Voorhout – April 2025
Lens Artists Photo Challenge 343 is ‘Seen on my last outing’. Yesterday, a short bicycle ride around Voorhout. On the bulb fields lines are straight, which is kind of boring. But the panoramic view of the iPhone changes the perspective.

Merry Christmas
On the eve of Christmas a colorful rose, wishing everybody a merry Christmas. And I can’t resist to put a wish under it from the heart, quoting John Lennon: war is over, just imagine. In 2025 be your own truth, people are not meant to be all the same. One of the joys in life is that we are different, and being different creates the potential for change. As long as we can listen to one another, knowing there is the freedom to choose your own believes and live them without being a threat to the other, there is a future and lots of potential. Love, laugh (especially about yourself), live.

Stunning May and June 2024 Rose Garden in Oegstgeest, Netherlands
The Netherlands, Oegstgeest – May and June 2024
A rose is a rose is a rose, someone wrote that a long time ago. But it is still true, each rose is unique. So much symbolism and sweetness in a picture. The garden offers them in abundance this year.

Allium Bulbflowers in Oegstgeest, Netherlands – A Twin Set of Mono and Color
Allium is one of our favorite bulbflowers in the garden. I present it as a twin set of mono next to color. Each version brings out different qualitaties in the flower I think, but that is of course subjective.
