Noordsvaarder

Impression of the Waddensea (Noordvaarder) on a cloudy misty day. Nice closure of a weekend Terschelling hoping on a face-to-face encounter with  a Merlin (Falco columbarius/Smelleken).

Hello 2014!

I want to open the year 2014 with an early morning photo, showing frosty grass, and a midday photo already pointing to spring with an early Bumblebee!
Busy times, and a major change in my personal life; 12 days ago I reached the respectable age of 50 (but I still feel very young, and I even don’t look that old in the mirror!) and 2 months ago I started with a new job as a lecturer in computer science. I like my new work very much, it‘s challenging, and creates a lot of positive energy. However it is also a major switch and I still need a lot of preparation time for my lessons. Because of that, I expect that I have to slow down a bit with my photography. But as you all know nature photography is part of me, so stay tuned. I have a few interesting plans for this year and new interesting uploads are definitely coming up!
