(werk)-vakantie


In onze achtertuin wordt er flink
wat gezaagd en getimmerd.

Donderdag vliegen we naar ons vakantie-huis in Hongarije.
Ook daar zijn er mannen druk aan het bouwen.
Ze bouwen een nieuw zwembad.

Binnenkort begint het nieuwe vakantie-seizoen.
De hele zomer gaan er groepen
mensen met een verstandelijke beperking
op vakantie naar het huis in Hongarije.

Voor mij staat er ook een
mooie klus te wachten...




Ik wens iedereen een fijne zonnige week!

LoVE and MAgiC

In recent months, I went up and down. The last two weeks, I could not find the way up.
I was feeling down.
Oh no .. help! .... Luckily I got help.

Now I'm working on finding a balance between keeping myself busy and letting myself rest.
I am so glad that my feeling hasn't disappeared, because good things happen!!!

So I get messages from blog friends who touch my heart!

Last week I responded to a giveaway of one of my favorite blogs, CHILDHOOD MAGIC.
I even began to dream about it!
I saw my daughter and I laugh and play under a rainbow silk :)
We ran over a field full of wildflowers, and stopped along a small stream.
We had a basket filled with fruit, drank tea from wooden cups, and we played with a felted ball.

Yesterday happened to me something magical and wonderful
..... I won the Giveaway !!!!!!
Again I got a warm feeling in my heart ....
Unbelievable, how could this happen?

A dream comes true!




The doors are open to all beautiful things,
and little by little I get more energy.
I would like to give my daughter and Stefan a magical childhood!

Thanks for the love X

assignment #4

The last assignment of C & C Photography


LAVENDER


BLOSSOM




TULIP


OUR STREET



I wanted to shoot TULIPS FIELDS.
We had a hard winter, so the tulips bloom LATER.
I think next week.... 

I'M STILL ALIVE
but very tired lately.
Saturday I take a break.
I go to the sauna!!

Thanks Carolyn and Camilla!

Because of your assignment,
I start to explore my camera.
I used already several techniques,
but had never really read about the theory.
The tip for shooting with low light in a bowl ...
I discovered this the first day with my new macro lens.

Still life is not my favorite.

Next week I will shoot more landscapes!


I wish everyone a happy and sunny day  XO

Assignment #3

The third assignment of C & C Photography
Select a COLOR and tell a story

My favorite color this week is BLUE!


When I wake up in the morning,
I look first through the attic window.
It makes me happy when I see a blue sky!

Today the sky was blue!!



We went walking in the park,
 and gathered small blue flowers.


Roxy loves to read!
 

For her nap we read the book Miffy.


I love treasures of nature!


Did you know that I live on a seabed?!
Once was here the Zuiderzee.


In the evening, 
we kissed the blue sky X

I WISH YOU A SUNNY WEEKEND!

assignment #2 Compostion and Perspective

STILL LIFE
"Try to keep it simple"
Yes, yes ... easily said, hard done.
In reading the ASSIGNMENT,
the ideas flowed into my head.
This week we had a lot of rain and wind
in the Netherlands.
I made a lightbox,
and began experimenting with different objects.
Not 1 item, but different , .... that's me.


as the "eye sees it"-straight on 


birds eye view


close up


off center using negative space


Un focus

You can also take a look at the other participants!
First I have to clean up the mess ....
It wasn't easy ;)



Happy Easter xo
