On what is now the edge of a forest I found this 35 meter mighty pedunculate oak (zomereik, Quercus robur L.) in late evening light. The rich palette of its trunk tells the story. From 10 meter above ground onwards it had decided, many years ago, to form the basis of its mighty crown. It has become a place full of life.
Er is er een jarig vandaag. Dochter Michelle. Zij is als een sneeuwklokje (Galanthus nivalis L., Snowdrop). Zij brengt de lente, telkens weer. Een schets van vaderlief.

And we’re on our way to spring. This pink tulip palette shows us the direction where we heading to. Yes, indeed, towards a new coming season, that of spring. The colour composition of pink, green and black tells the story.

Sometimes it is clear in life what is gonna happen and where destiny is determined. This picture is called destiny. Being an apple, banana or orange, I should be slightly worried about the juice can beside me. Sometimes it is good though that not everything is clear for everyone in advance. Happy New Year.
