We've just returned from our trip to the Netherlands, and I'm starting to post new photos! Of course, there was no way to not take a film roll and an analog camera. 📷 It was the first time I shoot photos with a rangefinder, if you like it, please stay tuned because there will be more to come! I took this shot in Amsterdam with the Zorki 4 camera (an old Soviet rangefinder) from 1966. 🥰
Gear:
• Zorki 4 (KMZ, 1966)
• Jupiter-8 50 mm f/2 (KMZ, 1967)
• Kodak Professional Portra 400/36
By chance (a friend mentioning it yesterday night and we drunkenly agreeing to join her and her partner today morning), we've made it to the #bloemencorso#bollenstreek 2024 today.
Just look at the lovely silliness of it! Yes, they are all made of flowers!
The wall fountain corner, with double pink tulip Columbus and forget-me-nots. In the #Netherlands I used to admire how people put pots and baskets of spring flowers onto outdoor tables, and I always wanted to be that organised. I only put this container together in January, but it's still performing and giving me joy.
How about some colorful red tulips to brighten up your Monday? (Part of my collection of artwork that hopefully looks like stained glass...not real stained glass!)
The pond corner. The barrel will hold #peas later, but now it's #tulips (starring the double orange Orca), plus purple honesty that I dug up from where it had self-seeded. Behind it, #hellebores obscure the tiny pond, which is tucked into the corner and supports a few #frogs and #newts. A neighbor offered me her Victorian fireplace surround so I put it here with a mirror tucked behind, a trick from garden designer Mirabel Osler.
Tulip toot for today.
When our grandson brought my car back, he took a little tour of the tulips, so we took some pictures.
A few more days and we will have a whole passel of new varieties.
Flowers are fun. #Tulips
