WorldPhotoDay

Today is WorldPhotoDay and to celebrate that I have to tend to my neglected photoblog again. I was trying to be on social media less so that's why I'm on here less as well. I'm not making photos as much as I used to as well.
I still haven't got my holiday too (two weeks from now) so no fresh new pics either.
But one of my favourites for today;

Loch Etive, Glencoe, Scotland

Ten years ago; Dorset

Ten years ago today me and my family were on holiday in the beautiful county of Dorset. I thought about that because of the hot weather now and then as well and the Four days Marches of Nijmegen which had extreme hot weather ten years ago as well! 

In Dorset on holiday we heard about it through a friend and in Charmouth were we stayed the asphalt was melting under your feet! 

It's also was the last year I was on holiday with my then husband (now ex) and as a complete family. I didn't realise it then of course. 

Charmouth is on the Jurassic Coast  a fantastic coast with lots of fossils to be found.

Enjoy the little things

After almost two weeks of Social Media break I put myself on I'm now slowly starting to put some things on my blogs again and maybe will start with Twitter and Facebook again too. But not as I did before. More slow this time, leave room for other things in life as well.
Enjoy other things besides being lived by your phone and or laptop... One can only hope.... ;-)

Openluchtmuseum Arnhem

Last week sis and I took our mum on a daytrip to the Openluchtmuseum in Arnhem. (Openairmuseum) As they say themselves on their site; it's a museum of all stories hidden in the historic houses, mills and farmhouses you will find on the museum park. We saw how the people lived back then; back in the 1800s, or during the great war or even in the 70s. Different homes, different styles. They have all kinds of buildings and furniture. I've been there as a child but now it's even bigger and they've added wax figures to make it even more realistic.
An impression;

Tiny snail

Last week when it was drizzling outside I looked up from my book to see a brave tiny snail in with a bright orange-brown shell, making its way across one way of the fench to the other. Surely but slowly in the drizzle. I  had to go outside to take some pictures of it of course.

Butterflies (Emmen)

To a butterfly (2)

I'VE watched you now a full half-hour,
Self-poised upon that yellow flower;
And, little Butterfly! indeed
I know not if you sleep or feed.
How motionless!---not frozen seas
More motionless! and then
What joy awaits you, when the breeze
Hath found you out among the trees,
And calls you forth again !

This plot of orchard-ground is ours;
My trees they are, my Sister's flowers;
Here rest your wing when they are weary;
Here lodge as in a sanctuary!
Come often to us, fear no wrong;
Sit near us on the bough!
We'll talk of sunshine and of song,
And summer days, when we were young;
Sweet childish days, that were as long
As twenty days are now.

William Wordsworth
