A flower from my garden. Not sure about the species yet, but I hope to find out soon. - 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 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 24 - Detail of a tulip
- May 01 - White dead netlle
It was hot today. Needed some fresh air after lunch. Found this white dead nettle (I think). Didn’t noticed the yellow guys (or girls) before I saw the photo on screen. - May 02 - Bird cherry
Very nice smelling flowers with dew drops on a very early morning in the dunes. - May 03 - Orchid
- May 04 - Nature
Made in a park near my work. Don’t know what kind of flower or weed this is, or even what the name of the bug is. Doesn’t look like a normal fly to me. - May 05 - Buttercup
It was a cloudy and rainy day. - May 06 - Holly (the flowers)
Just noticed today, my holly tree has flowers. Very small, but it really are flowers. So I picked a small piece of it (it needs a lot of trimming anyway) and tried to make something out of it. Too much spiderwebs and other dust to make it really great, but that’s nature and I like it this way. - May 07 - Orange kalanchoe
No time for outdoor photos today but we have this plant with tiny orange flowers at the moment (and luckily my wife knew the name). - May 08 - Bug on white
Another wild flower. No names yet - May 09 - Purple lilac
Near the (always very windy) hockey field. - May 10 - Peony
The “Motherdays” flowers I bought for my wife. She loves them. Hope I can make another one this month when they are really beautiful. - May 11 - From my garden...
Just picked a branch from my garden, washed it and made a photo of it. No idea about the species. - May 12 - Bee and blue
Found a hedge with this beautiful blue flowers (and some bees). Very cropped and a full midday sun - May 13 - Forget me not
A “forget-me-not” with as background my new (used) car I picked up today. Could use some more polish - May 14 - Wild flower
Needed some fresh air. Found this beauty. No idea what it is, but I like it. Added: Seems to be a “Silene vulgaris” - May 15 - Teardrop
Made a lot a photos of this (unknown) flower lately, but there was always another one I preferred. All my photos today aren’t as sharp as I would like, but I liked the raindrops here. - May 16 - 6 days later...
A lot of beauty of my “May 10" flowers is already gone, but I still like the colors. - May 17 - Wall flower
Some wild flower growing against the wall of my house. - May 18 - Yellow iris
A yellow iris (Iris pseudacorus) in the water. - May 19 - Viola curtisii
Couldn’t find an English name for this one. We call it “duinviooltje”, literally translated “dune violet”. Grows in the dunes near the sea. They looked so lovely with the dew in the early morning sunlight.
