- Apr 30 - Tompouce (or just a sad day)
Should have been a very nice Queens Day today, but some lunatic decided to kill 6 people (still 9 injured) and himself. - Apr 29 - Reflection a a painting
It’s a reflecion in an old, somewhat damaged, but still working clock. - Apr 28 - Rabbit

Just a quick improvisation for today. Amaretto cookies with amaretto. - Apr 26 - Music on a bike
Spent the whole (nice) afternoon photographing beach volleyball and other activities in Oostzaan, a nearby village. It was the first time the “Ronde van Noordholland”, a yearly cycle course, was visiting this village. - Apr 25 - Almost a flower
Pruned (a part of) my hedge today, so not much time and energy for photography. Here’s a detail which is not pruned. Not sure, but my guess is this is the starting blossom of a blackthorn. - Apr 24 - Detail of a tulip
- 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 22 - Sparrow
A sparrow in my garden - 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 20 - White flower
A flower from my garden. Not sure about the species yet, but I hope to find out soon. - Apr 19 - Hockey
Another beautiful hockey day. This time 6-0 for the “good” side. This is just a moment before one of the goals. Hockey: Rood Wit 5 – Kraaien 2: 0-6 - Apr 18 - Hockey
Nice weather, but we lost. Pinoke JB5 - Kraaien JB1: 4-3 - Apr 17 - Tulip
No tulip yet this month, so here it is. I know, the glass should be cleaner, but it’s almost midnight (again). - Apr 16 - Gymnastics
Some nice people of the gymnastics club Kwiek did some exercises for the photo club tonight. - Apr 15 - Kennemerduinen
A beautiful morning in the dunes. - Apr 14 - Inncocent
She tries to look innocent here! - Apr 13 - Cheese
A snack for today - Apr 12 - Coccinellidae
Another (more well known) beetle in my garden on a raspberry leaf. I found so many names of this species that I used the Latin name. We call it a “lieveheersbeestje”. - Apr 11 - Lilioceris lilii
A beetle in my garden on a warm day in the spring. Think this is a “leliehaantje” (Dutch) or “lily leaf beetle” (English), but please correct me if it’s otherwise. Not sure if I have any lilies, but he/she looked happy. - Apr 10 - Pineapple
Almost missed my photo a day today (only 15 minutes left). - Apr 09 - Tomato soup

Photography museum in Amsterdam. We went with school to an exhibition of Richard Avedon. - Apr 05 - Hockey
I had a very nice afternoon, just sitting in the grass, enjoying the game and the sun (and making photos). - Apr 04 - Hockey
An “early” and somewhat misty game today. Haarlem JB2 - Kraaien JB1: 2-8 - Apr 03 - Muscari botryoides
Fresh from my garden - Apr 02 - Dust
Just one hour left today to make my daily photo with my not even a month old camera. (Left part). Of course I could go to a Canon service center but it’s 11.00 PM and there’s none in the neighbourhood. Luckily I had a fully loaded spare battery, cleaning stuff and a lot of exercise with my old camera to make the right part. Not sure if the spot is on the sensor or on the tulip, but the stripe definitely was on the sensor. - Apr 01 - Lock
Sometimes these things get broken
