Smile

When I woke up this morning and opened my curtains, I was greeted by a winter wonderland. Snow looks so pretty when you don’t have to go anywhere. And today, I was working from home, so I could stay in the comforts of my own apartment, all warm and snug. When I finished work forContinueContinue reading “Smile”

On a Sunday afternoon

Here are some photos of a nice Sunday walk on the beach. I just love breathing in the salty air and feeling the wind on my face. The weather was absolutely beautiful! Add to that great company and a nice breeze, and you have a wonderful day!

Views from the Afsluitdijk

Last Saturday, we went to Assen to go to the Maya Exhibit at the Drents Museum. This is one of my absolute favourite musea in the country, due to its amazing archaeology collection including the Pesse canoe (oldest boat in the world) and the Yde Girl (Iron Age bog body of a 16-year-old girl). I highly recommendContinueContinue reading “Views from the Afsluitdijk”

Aerial

Wednesday a week ago, we went on a city trip to Lisbon. Our flight left late in the afternoon and as it was a small plane, it was easy to see the views from the window. I snapped some photos on my phone (I was too lazy to take my big one out of theContinueContinue reading “Aerial”

My 4 favourite musea in Amsterdam

While I mainly blog about nature and landscapes, I felt like blogging about something a little closer by this time. I was inspired to write about my favourite musea in Amsterdam after my latest visit to the Rijksmuseum with a friend last Monday. I haven’t seen all musea in Amsterdam, or the Netherlands for thatContinueContinue reading “My 4 favourite musea in Amsterdam”

Snowy branches

While currently it doesn’t seem like it, I’m pretty sure we’ll be getting at least some snow this year. Maybe not as much as when I took these photos, but who knows. Five years may not seem like so long ago, but a lot can change in that time. I love the look of the snowy branches. It’sContinueContinue reading “Snowy branches”

Springtime in winter

Recently, I went on a walk and saw various crocuses blooming. Normally they don’t start blooming until early Spring. The mild weather is obviously confusing nature! The flowers reminded me of a walk to a local park a few years ago, when the crocuses bloomed as well (in season). I’d forgotten all about those photos! I recentlyContinueContinue reading “Springtime in winter”

Dreaming of a white Christmas

Here is a photo I took a few years ago, when we had a cold Winter with lots and lots of snow (by Dutch standards). While I’m a bit of a wuss when it comes to freezing temperatures (in the Netherlands it always gets water cold), I do love a sunny, cold and crisp Winter’sContinueContinue reading “Dreaming of a white Christmas”
