Dunnock 2

This time I made sure I had my camera loaded with the memory card.

I had another chance to capture the Dunnock, (Heggemus,(Prunella modularis).

He is such a lovely bird, very shy and nondescript by his greyish brown feathers.

New website, www.hennynetjes.com

            ...I was working on a new website for a very long long time...I found my old one old.

However it still exists.

It had so many bumps and loops and turnarounds, it was quite a struggle to get it on air.

Today I got it on air!

(although there is a lot of building to do)

12,5 year!

This morning in my mail I found this!

Such a surprise!

I had not thought of it myself...that my Iwings-blog exists today 12,5 year!

My good friend Fennie had sent me this card for reminding me. 

Later in my snail mail I found another card from her.

So special! 

That I did not think of it myself!

Thanx Fennie!

This day I also have been born again, 35 years ago giving my life to God in 1983.

And it was also my fathers birthday.

So this is for me a very special day of celebration.

And to my amazement, later today,

my nephew called to tell that his wife gave birth to a beautiful daughter!

Dunnock

The dunnock, (Prunella modularis), (Heggenmus.)
was feeding on my feeding table, as well as other birds like the robin, blackbirds and finches.
I made lovely photos and even of the little snowflakes fluttering around.
When I wanted to upload the photo's, I found out that my memorystick was not in the camera,
but still in my computer...
So no photo's at all! 
I did make a quick sketch of the dunnock, so that is all I have of yesterdays bird feasting.

Transformation

I made this film ten years ago, back in 2008
About the transformation of the Swallowtail butterfly.(Koninginnenpage)(Papilion Machaon)
The whole process from being a very small caterpillar, into spinning his cocoon, going into cocoon...
and then later on from cocoon to a beautiful butterfly.
Somehow I still am amazed at the whole process when I look at it again.

stamp

Last week I received a snail-mailcard from a good friend.
The stamp on it was so nice too!

Spring

Small messengers of spring beginning to show up.

Glass/ice

Last night it has been freezing.
The water in my little pond is looking like a glass window.
Reflections of the sky and clouds in rippling glass.
Slowly the sun is melting the glassy layer.

Finch 4

Breaking out

New beginnings are breaking out.
Fresh new spears of breaking out and open.
It takes lots of courage, not knowing what is above.
Will it be cold and snowy?
or will there be warm rays of sunshine?
Staying under is not an option anymore.

High water

Its high water in Holland.
Rivers are flooding because of too much water running through.

My sister took me out to have a look.
It was beautiful sight!!!!!!!

Finches 3

'Looking for the green finches'
may not translate very well to english.
In dutch language, Finch is a bird as well as checkmarks, ticks.

noticed as being seen and approved.

Finch is having his yummy pizza-seed-cake,
however it is a little bit soaked by the rain.
It does not seem to bother him at all.

Embraced by the Son

For 2018,
I wish you all to be embraced by the Son.
Abiding in Him.

dissolving fading year

The 2017 year almost fading away....
Having lots of good memories of this past year...
Giving Thanxs to The One who is Go(o)d.

Continuing Frogg

After 1001 times thank you's and lots of hugs
Leopold and Frogg returned home,
both happily glowing with joy and excitement.
Leopold said, 'When I have lost something, I always want go first to the Lost & Found.'
Frogg nodded with a glowing big smile....'Me too!
I always go first to ask the great Lion!'

'Leopold, where is your crown?' asked Lion.
'My crown?' said Leopold astonished.
'I don't have one, I never had!'
'Let me try this one on you.
This one is sitting here way too long, as he took a smaller crown from the shelf.
Carefully he placed the crown on Leopold.
It fitted perfectly.

Continuing Frogg

A moment later Lion was back with a beautiful golden crown in his paws.
'Crow brought it here just a few days ago, he had found it in the woods.' he said.
'This might be the one'.
Lion placed the crown on Frogg's head.
Frogg could not believe his eyes!
It was exactly the crown he had lost!
With tears in his eyes he looked up.
'This means so much to me!' he said with a deep sigh of relief.
