  • new chickens

    Our last chicken died a year ago. What to do with an empty chicken run ? Well it’s easy;  fill it with some new chickens ! So I bought 3 chicken-sisters … They’re a mixture of Sussex and Australorp. A brown, a black and a white one.

  • four young blackbirds

    one day old

  • blossom …

    … in our pear tree

  • The last Queensday …

    … in the Netherlands. From now on, we have a King ! Traditionally the streets are legally free to sell your old stuff (without any regulations).  There was an old NSU Quickly for sale ! Also “streetartists” are allowed to earn some money.

  • lets keep it simple

  • our almond …

    … is flowering. So it’s time to wear my Vibram Five Fingers and do some maintenance on my velomobile. Temperatures are rising and the days are getting longer and longer. The sunset is at 06.30 AM , so photographers have to get up early for their “golden hour”. I have a few days off, so…

  • jes & mar

    Two of the 4 women who made my life. I took this B/W photo 25 years ago. The days when Lightroom was Darkroom 😉 jes & mar, originally uploaded by wim harwig.

    Is it really going to happen ; Google Glass  before the end of this year in the shop? Will life be like in this video within a couple of years ?

  • We’re in the middle of it ….

  • You are what you eat ….

    …. but do we realize what we eat ?  And why overconsumption ?

  • 1000

    This is post number 1000 on this blog. These last few months I was posting less and less, because I am in a bluesy kind of period in my life. My view on life is changing due to the fact that my employer went bankrupt, the Dutch government is altering rules for pensionable age and…

  • family together ….

    …. and having a delicious dinner which took Marjan 2 days to prepare.

  • lifetime guarantee ….

    …. for our coat-hangers. These are in our family for a long, long time. And they’re still going strong! Just for fun I took a photo, asking myself if there are more people who collect this kind of practical “souvenirs”.

  • 15 years ago ….

    …. I started to build our house.  A slideshow shows it from the start to end.

  • a different culture ….

    ………that I don’t understand. I can’t imagine a situation where an adult man wishes to some god that a principal has a M4 in her office ….. It must be the US of A .     As long as this kind of madman are allowed to spread their crazy thoughts on television without a comment…
