Corona times give another dimension to life, and the need to take regular stay-cations, or do things differently. In this case working with my hand instead of working with my head. The backyard is the sanctuary, being not too big but full with flowers, among them roses. The flowers are a sanctuary for bees, buzzing over from the neighbor’s hives.

I have not participated in the LAP for a few weeks due to DIY at home. Corona times give another dimension to life, and the need to take regular stay-cations, or do things differently. In this case working with my hand instead of working with my head. The backyard is the sanctuary, being not too big but full with Agapanthus, who particular enjoy this Summer season. The flowers are a sanctuary for bees, buzzing over from the neighbor’s hives.

Walking on water is difficult, but if you are afraid to fall (and get wet) you will never learn.

This little pond is part of a little park in my village. When I was a toddler I used to feed the ducks and swans here. Sitting there years later I was impressed by the green and shapes of the trees under the Corona blue sky.

A polder is a piece of land below the surrounding water level. It is artificial because it is created by man. Dykes are build to make it dry and keep the water out, and canals are made to pump water out, dumping it in canals that eventually bring it back to sea. In the background you see a dyke: behind the dyke is water of a lake. If the dyke was not there you would look at the lake :-). So this is old and new land.

During the Corona crisis, most air traffic came to a stop. The skies are blue, and occasionally a plan (mostly cargo) comes over.
Normally every minute a plan approaches Schiphol Amsterdam Airport 25 kilometres to the North. The old is no longer, this new is for the time being.

Bees are under thread of extinction worldwide. If we loose them our ecosystems will stop. The simple thing of a flower and a bee makes our world work.
