Thiemo, mijn altijd nieuwsgierige beagle, zag zijn kans schoon bij de ingang van de parkeergarage aan de boulevard van Katwijk. Een groep duiven zat nietsvermoedend te rusten... tot hij eraan kwam. Aangelijnd en al wist hij ze toch flink te laten opvliegen. Geen schade, alleen wat opvliegende veren en een tevreden beagle. 🐾

🇬🇧 Thiemo, my ever-curious beagle, seized the moment near the parking garage entrance at the Katwijk boulevard. A peaceful flock of pigeons quickly took flight the moment he trotted over — leash and all. No harm done, just feathers in the air and one very satisfied little hound. 🐶

Northern lynx

I was looking on my photo harddrive when i came acros this photo of a lynx. This photo is very precious to me due to the story behind it. It was summer 2020 and the day before i took this photo i had my check up at the hospital, At that time i was more tired than usual. So it was time to talk to my cardiologist and he told me that the ejection fraction was gone down hill. Ofcourse this was something that did something to me. The next day i still had that a bit sad feeling of the day before so we (my mum, dad and i) went out doing what i love to do the most: animal photography. I got this photo of a juvenile lynx with her bright eyes, And this photo this day motivated me to do what i do best: photography (and only if i knew back then what i would have grown in skill in the upcoming 5 years) , to enjoy every good thing on my path. I hope this motivates (some) to just follow their heart and passion
