IMPROVEMENT

Sometimes you have to improve yourself. Preferably a special treatment in order to learn in a quick way. Maybe you can contact a person with much experience concerning the learning curve you are aiming for. Maybe it’s your mother. Mothers often know more about the old crafts. Today I witnessed a sewing session. My understanding is that you always need to work carefully. Dimensional verification twice better than the hindsight you made a mistake. How wonderful is the digital age. Certainly when it comes to photography. Still, putting together a photo series did not change over time.

ENJOY

THINGS

Today it seems as if we should be surrounded with ‘things’. ‘Things’ such as an iPhone, Ipad or a special watch, preferably by a particular brand. Of course I like to use the ‘things’ causing a certain convenience. However, sometimes these ‘things’ seem far away and are of no use at all. Especially when you have to do some work in your garden. Then very different ‘things’ exist and become important.

ENJOY

PROUD

I think in life everybody needs something to be proud of. No matter what. Something that whispers the good things of life to you. Like everybody starts to talk about what’s in his mind, especially at the top of his mind. I think it is important to have the feeling, to have an underlying power to feel, that it is good where you spent your time. Today I looked at my garden and saw the first red strawberry to come and I got the feeling to be busy with the good things of life.

ENJOY

IMPRESSED

This weekend, during a short stay at ‘Het Noord-Hollands Duinreservaat’ and “Bezoekerscentrum De Hoep”, I got impressed by the water of Holland. Especially about their chosen theme “water and health”. A man can live about a month without food, but only three days to at most one week without water. If a man does not have enough water, he will dehydrate. So you have to drink at least 1.5 to 2 litres of water a day for a healthy life. I thought this was about the desire to loose weight, but water regulates the temperature of the human body.

And now the harrowing: At least 400 million people live in areas with a shortage of water. A quarter of the world’s population has no access to safe drinking water.

So, Hans how do you feel today?

LUCKY BOY – ENJOY

THE LITTLE NEW ONE

No, I am not the guy from the flowers and the bees especially. But today this little one touched my heart. Today feels special because my daughter registered for a summer course in France. It’s about the inner voice. “A journey toward your voice’s heart”, called by the organization: ROY HART Centre Artistique International. Being in my garden I had to think about her while I was looking at this little new flower. Imported from France and part of my holidays over there in 2016. I really hope the workshop will feel new like my flower does.

ENJOY

WET

Tonight it was raining cats and dogs. So this morning I found my garden in a wet suit. I immediately got enthousiastic about the garden table as it was overwhelmed with a kind of light that I love. Especially in black and white it has a certain attraction to me. Today the far north and northwest of Holland is dry with sun on a regularly basis. In the middle and south is likely to have a temper, with thunderstorms possible in the southern provinces. It is 18-26 degrees. Next few days remains warm with a chance of thunderstorms. The weekend is sunny. So have a good weekend everyone and…..

ENJOY

RED AND GREEN

Today I started using red and green. You just have to walk into your garden…. For me my garden feels like home. I like all the colors over there and nothing is disturbing nature. So enjoy my Lightroom experiments. I think every experiment is worth to look at. Whether it is photography, painting or sculpture. Every metier knows its own discovery.

ENJOY

YELLOW AND BLEU

Today I started using yellow and bleu. The simultaneous colors always have impact on my imagination. Something happens in my mind. The new day, with the singing birds in the morning, take care of my health I think. Anyway:

ENJOY

TIJD VOOR JE LIJF

Ik geloof dat er niemand op de wereld leeft zonder leed. Het kan zijn dat de eigen situatie een rol speelt of die van anderen, dierbaren wellicht. Er is altijd wel iets wat hij/zij graag anders zou willen zien, anders zou willen ervaren. Over het algemeen zijn we ook bedreven in het benoemen van situaties van anderen, boven die van onszelf. Voor al die mensen neem ik vandaag de uitbundigheid van de natuur mee in deze foto. Het voelt zoals Gabriel García Márquez in zijn boek ‘Honderd jaar eenzaamheid’ door José Arcadio laat zeggen: “Het is net een aardbeving”. Voor iedereen die het wil zien vandaag dus deze uitbundigheid van de lente.

ENJOY
