Tenellaplas Hike

This early morning Yvon, the dogs and I went for a hike over at the Tenellaplas. Luckily it didn't rain, but the sun was almost nowhere to be seen

Poppies (NL: Klaproosjes)






Purple Poppy (NL: Paarse Papaver)

Another Pancake?

Nope, a huge mushroom in July!

The Little Owls Of Hellevoetsluis

On Windmill Korenmolen De Hoop a friend of mine spotted a Little Owl a while back, so I checked it out today, just to see if this could be true...

View from above the mill


Amazing view over part of the Haringvliet. The weather was gorgeous! As was the sky

View from inside the mill

So yeah, I met one of the Little Owls!!!

I was even able to pet it!!! Cause, well... it turned out that they were made out of plastic(!) and are being used to scare of Jackdaws

Oh, the irony!!!!!!!!!!

The Fortress

A box full of cherries

Out in the countryside a fruit grower has this machine where you can get delicious fruit day and night
