Baroque Bouquet

Mixed roses and some green from the garden.

Although it is summer, it feels like autumn.

Some color brightens up my mood.

Living the past

What I love about old buildings is the past that they have.

A past before us,

And the fact that we can use the building again

   in a different way, or

   in the same way.

A past of people walking around in the building

   just like we walk in it.

Or hard working people,

   we can only imagine when we close our eyes.

But the mystical thing about old buildings are the doors and windows.

It are the same window and same door.

We walk through them,

they walked through them

We look through them and see the surrounding,

they looked through them and saw the surrounding,

The difference is the surrounding.

We can only imagine what they saw

and what they were feeling.

This is what I like about old buildings to feel the past

of life that was in the building,

being there were someone else was.

These photos are made by me in 2007 in the Sphinx fabric in Maastricht.

Miracle

Yesterday I saw a Macroglossum stellatarum, in Dutch the Kolibrievlinder (kolibrie butterfly?).

I was surprised to see this butterfly for the first time in my life. 

They are apparently more common.

But this does not change the miracle.

Candy

Sometimes I feel like candy.

Drop (Lakritz) typical Dutch taste so strong, I love it.

This flower is called Ranonkel in Dutch.It gives a retro feel and has also something hip and cheerful.Flowers make you happy anyway.They are works of art in itself.The petal of ranunculus are so thin and translucent, together they form a strong flower.

Enjoy.

Last Sunday we went to the Ceramic market in Maaseik (Belgium).
Maaseik has a nice market square and this is a nice place for events like this.
At the event were artist from a lot of country's.

Sadly,I forgot my camera to take a picture of the ambiance.

For those who love nice art, below are a few links to pages of the artist, and the picture to a blog with more pictures.

De regendruppel

Het regent.

Maar zelfs regen kan zulke mooie beelden opleveren.

De kracht van een regendruppel, een natuurwonder.
