Playing in the Light 3

 What or how does it look like in the dark?

Playing with the Light and being hit by the Light?

Looks fun to me! 

Playing with Light

What will happen when you're playing with light, 
and then the Light hits you or you hit the Light, one way or the other?

I was wondering/pondering his the next day, after I had made the first drawing.
So, I made this drawing to make it more reality and visible. 

Please, let me know what you think in the comments... 

 see also yesterdays post.
 

Playing with light

 

Sometimes there are those kind of days, that nothing seems to work.

It's like sitting under a heavy bolder.
It was a day like that. Nothing wrong, lovely sunshine...but everything feels heavy for no particular reason.
I decided to make a doodle, because doing nothing felt very boring as well. 

This came out... playing with the Light. 

Dromedary

 Recently I made a card for a friend of mine. 

I don't have the original anymore, because I sent it to her and forgot to make a photo.

But I do have the sketch.

Dromen, means to dream in dutch language.
This dromedary is dreaming about happiness, joy, lots of fun and delight. 

New book out

 

Having been busy, making books and publishing...recently I published another book. 

A while ago I published the English,  'Polly finds a berry.'

Now I did the dutch version as well. 'Polly vindt een besje.'
So now available n English and Dutch. Both for children and adults.

Check them out on Amazon 

Swimming dove 2

 This was the same day, as on yesterdays post, only a few minutes later. 

I saw him doing this tree times in a row. The first time I was not able to capture. 
But knowing this was gone be fun, I quickly grabbed my camera.

On purpose the dove jumped into the water. It was not accidentally that he fell in. It's hilarious to see how he gets to the other side.

He swam with only a few wing-beats through the water to cross. 

I really love watching this. I hope you too!

Swimming dove

The doves come to my garden for a drink almost every day. 
However when it is warm, they love to have a bath as well.

There is one special dove who sometimes wants to swim too!
Today was the day. 
He let himself fall into the water and YES! 
He swam to the other side of the pond. It's do deep to stand, but he has learned swimming. 
Not all doves do that. But this one is very special. 
It's a lovely sight.

 

Passion flower

 This morning, while looking around and watering some plants, I noticed that the bud in the passionflower was intending to open up!

I had gotten this plant, from a dear friend of mine, for my birthday a few months ago. 

Over the weeks I noticed one small bud and then later the bud becoming bigger. 
So I wanted to keep an eye on it. 
This morning I noticed, it wanted to open!

And when I looked half an hour later, it had opened more!

I decided to stay for a while near the flower, to see it's progression, opening up. 

It's fantastic to see that happening within an hour.

IWINGS 20 Years!

IWINGS is flying 20 years on the World Wide Web!

This week I remembered, wanted to make a post, forgot it again as the days fly by so quickly.

Today I received a snail-mail card of one of my best friends, who sent me a celebration-card! 
Thank you F!

I still remember the IWINGS-First-Flight as yesterday. 
Blogging was new, and having an illustrated blog back then...I had not seen them in that time very much. 
At that time there were only written blogs. It was really a challenge. 

I think it was actually August 6th 2005 that I took my first flying-lesson. 

Here is a link to that post
