Jos takes photos

  a few years ago we bought a small apple tree that we put in a pot. Actually more for decoration than for the apples. But this year we have a harvest of three beautiful red apples. One of them was prey to birds that picked pieces out of it. The other two not only became a beautiful red, but also grew into decent apples. Stay happy, healthy and optimistic. The world still needs that.

  What we’re doing in the Low Lands? Just living with its troubles and happy moments. And of course enjoying the weather when it’s fine. Long walks in the forests, enjoying a drink and a meal afterwards, then life is good. Anyway for us that is. Of course we take a camera with us and I’m happy to join the results. Please keep in mind that I’m not a nature or wildlife photographer and that I like to walk as light as possible. So, no big camera, no enormous lenses, no tripod. Instead a small camera and a not so expensive zoom lens.  But no longer talking, here are the results  . .  Stay healthy and optimistic, it’s good for all of us.

I've probably mentioned it before, but I have a soft spot for the fair. The colours, the sounds, the smells, everything, I don't know what it is about, but fair, yes, I love that.  Not to sit in the bumper cars, not to eat cotton candy, but just to stroll around the fair, that's what it's all about for me.  And today I got the chance to view the fair from above.  So enjoy! Stay happy and healthy and enjoy the nice things in life.

The sun is shining and I have the flu, at least I think so, but hey, I'm not a doctor. It really is beautiful summer weather and I'm sniffling and coughing like a worn-out diesel. But the sun is shining, I'm sitting inside and still enjoying the sun. And now coffee, with lots of frothed milk, if it doesn't help, it doesn't hurt and it's tasty anyway. So luck is on my way. And on the television there is the Giro, the biggest bicycle race of Italy. So all this, accompanied with a lot of handkerchiefs, the world ain't that bad.  So stay happy healthy and optimistic, we all need that!

 Some people love them, some people dislike them. Some said we need them, some said we don’t. They are almost everywhere. So when taking street or travelphotography it’s not always easy to avoid them. So why not show them, let them be the star of the photo. There is beauty in everything so there must be at least some in cars or in some cars. Stay happy and healthy, we all need that!

  We are back in the Low Lands.  So we made a walk we use to make before we went to the Sunny Land and lucky us, the weather was fine, lots of sun and it started to rain when we arrived at our car.   Of course we took some pictures and these photos are all taken by my better half with an iPhone. She used to take photos with a camera but now she’s really in iPhone photography. I like her results and maybe, just maybe, I will give it a more serious try than I ever did before.  But for now, photos  Not made by me! Stay happy, healthy, the world really needs it!
