Woodpigeon

 

Did you know that wood pigeons can swim?
Here is the proof. 

I've seen them doing this many times.
First they stir the waters, in order to try to get wet. When hat is not helping enough, they let themselves fall into the water and quickly try to jump out again. 

Then they start all over again.
So much fun to watch!
 

Dandelion

 Some months ago, I picked a dandelion-seed-ball and tried to dry it in my studio.

The sun tonight was playing around on the seeds. ..so beautiful...! (click image to enlarge)

Who can ever design such a fragile awesome beauty, just for ordinary seeds...so delightful.

If one thinks there is no Creator, who created this all...here is proof!
No man can can ever imitate this, nor create this with all AI together in our world.
And this is only a dandelion-seed-ball ...what about all other?

Colored clouds

While relaxing in my garden and having my lunch, looking around.
I suddenly discovered that I have many colored clouds in my garden...

Pink, blue, white, light-yellow, lilac and of course all the greens.
It's just a lovely thought, being surrounded by all these colored clouds! 

Song trush

 This young Song trush is having a great time while bathing.

You can see by his looks, how much he is enjoying it. 

Bullfinch

 What about this extremely amazing color combination.

The foxgloves happens to blossom right beside the birdbath...and then a bullfinch male, (goudvink) comes to have a bath!

So beautiful! 

Hawfinch

 

 

I seems to me that the hawfinch, appelvink has young. 

I see him gathering food and flying away with a full beak.

I the basket above (hanging in the tree) are sunflower seeds. So to me it looks like he is picking up these seeds, the other birds spilled over the basket. 

Because he is a rare bird here, its great to have this bird having a nest close by. 

Appelvink. Hawfinch, Coccothraustes coccothraustes

 

raining

 It's been raining almost all day yesterday.

Big splashes and drops of rain jumping up and down in the birdbath. 
As if the raindrops maybe wanted  to have a warm bath too.
Maybe that's it... raindrops trying to have a warm bath...why not?

Te voet post

Recently I made another stamp for my brother in law.
During new-year he had made his best wishes cards and drawn a stamp on the enveloppe.

And then delivered the mail himself, without delivering it  through the regular snailmail-deliveryservice.

He wrote on the stamp, Te voet post, Mail by foot.

I found that very funny, so I made for him some stamps with his drawing on it. 
 

Stamp

When you have followed my blog for quite some time, you might know that I love stamps. 

Recently I had some stamps made for my sister as a birthday present. 

I asked her to let me know what should be the theme and subject for the stamp. She came up with this. In the area were my parents and their grandparents family were born, there is growing a very rare flower. not in other places in our country, as far as I know.

When I was a child these flowers were already very rare, and at that time we were told not to pick them because they are protected. So now many decades later, they are very, very rare. I have very lovely memories of that time.

Its the wilde kivietsbloem ( (Fritillaria meleagris) (Checkered Lilyflower.)

They are beautiful lovely flowers in white and purple-ish colors. only growing in wet meadow lands.
I asked her to sent me a stamp in the mail. 
So here it is!

Proof copy of my books

 I just ordered 4 proof copies of 4 books I made.

Like the other ones they will be available on Amazon 

Have been working quite some time editing and making the stories available for sale.
I took me a while since I did the last books some 1,5 years ago.

A lot of back-lash and obstacles hindered me to get me on the go again with these books. But now I did. You can also read them in my blog, where I originally created them. 

Because they get lost in the archives. I wanted them more available for people.

I soon hope to publish them after I have approved them.

Robin young

 My garden has lots of flying young coal-tits, blue-tits and even a young robin or more.

It's not so easy to have a good photo, because they are constantly on the move. 
Here I captured a young robin who is begging for food. The parents are very busy to get their beaks full.

woodpecker

 This is so amazing.

I have put some sunflower seeds and oats in the feeding basket for the birds.
The birds are really enjoying it. Today, a woodpecker has discovered the seeds as well...
With his beak full of seeds he flies to and fro to his nest...looks like he has young and lots of woodpecker babies to feed.
I love to see how many seeds he can hold all together in his beak.

Flycatcher

Here a female flycatcher is having her daily late afternoon bath.
Her young are almost ready to fly.

I see them (male and female) flying all day to and fro to the bird box.

I expect the young to be ready tomorrow or the day after.

Oh, and here is the male having a break for his bath, in between feeding the young.
