Splash, Splash, Splash!

The Terrace in our Garden

If it had been colder that day it would have been snow on the ground and not water. The rain was pouring out of the sky for hours, making it impossible for the natural draining system to absorb everyting, hence the enormous amount of water on the ground. Splash, splash, splash!

A Tribute to a Long Winter

Winterberg, Germany.

Yes, yes, I've been complaining like everyone about the cold and snow, but that doesn't mean I can't appreciate a beautiful snowy picture. It was taken when I went skiing in Germany, only a few weeks ago.

I Present: Our Garden

Months after my parents decided to 'restyle' the garden, it finally looks like something. Our garden is probably seven by eleven (meters, mind you) and almost made entirly out of stone. That used to be different, before the 'wish for room' we had more a backyard than a garden. Lots of plants, grass and little room to walk. Just two places that could barely hold a round table and six chairs, which was always difficult with the celebration of, for instance, birthdays, we had barely room to sit and the people who came over were always devided into two (sometimes even three) groups.

Since the weather is starting to be nice again - lots of sunshine - I've been outside more and I must say that I'm really starting to like our garden! So much room! And the plants in pots make it really cozy. Of course, not everything is stone, at the sides we've got some dirt with still developing flowers and other sorts of plants.

I can't wait for the summer!

Sweet Little Flowers

The parks in Almere Haven are smaller and more chaotic, but very beautiful. The blossom in the trees mark the change in the weather. Finally some sunshine!

Welcome into the light

Somewhere in Germany there is this forest that allows us, simple not-dead-yet human beings to see the light.

Budapest, Hungary is a city full of history and photo moments. I went in the fall of 2007 and the pictures above are some just a couple of the *be warned, shocking numbers ahead* estimated 1100 photo's I've made. In one week time.

The Sun is Shining

Right now, I'm in our garden. Enjoying the sun. I'm glad winter is almost over and spring is showing her beautiful face from under the ground. Within a couple of weeks the leafs will be on the trees again, flowers will be blossoming and the sun will be nice and warm. Because, yes, it is still freezing cold outside. My fingerstips are frozen, as I am defying the cold and enjoying the first real strokes of sunshine on my face. It's healthy to be outside, that's what my parents have told me many times over.

Sunlight is good for us. Did you know that children who do not play outside (in the sun, mind you) enough will get O-legs? Apparently this has something to do with the fact that sunligh contains vitamine D and that is neccesary for our growth. Of course, too much sunlight will kill us (skincancer, ring a bell anyone?), so we just need to find a middle ground.

Why am I sitting outsite? Well, I'm kind of horribly white. Seriously, it starts to get creepy. It is almost vampire-white. Honestly, the only thing I'm missing are the teeth (or if you've read Stephenie Meyers version of vampires, the glowing like diamonds) and the unhumanly craving for blood. Oh yes, most significant, I'm not dead. Yet, anyway. If the coughing keeps going on and on like this, I'll cough myself to death. Nice, look out. *Being very sarcastic*
So, to get on with things, I figured, let's enjoy the sun! And, now, my parents will stop complaining about the times I spent in my room. Plus I hoped that the fresh air would give me some inspiration to continue my lovestory (which is called 'Angels' by the way), but sadly, no. I've only added another 400 words to it.

And as the sun is lowering down to the horizon and the minutes are ticking by, I am and always will be a sun person. Give me spring and Italian-summers at anytime!

A little poem

For one time goes fast
For the other time is pure cruelty

The absence of you
Is like a fire in my heart

Burning and scratching the images of my soul

I don’t know where it went wrong
Or what truly happen to us

But I know I will never surrender

I will be here forever, waiting for you
To come around and meet me again

One day we will be back
To what we once were

Have been before

What do the pictures tell you?

These photo's are signs of love and yes, I know, this is a feminine subject, I know men shy away from the talks about love, feelings and other 'girly-girl' things, but it is still true. Both of these pictures are signs of love and that is why I like them so much.

This is my first blog and we'll see how it goes. I certainly hope I have the inspiration to post something at least every week. The things you'll probably see on here are the strange workings of my mind. Short stories and poems, stuff like that.

I aspire to be a writer. At this point I'm writing a story, a love story, actually. Many of my friends call it a 'book' already, though I do not consider it one yet, it isn't even finished. I hope that in the future a publisher will like it enough to print it, but until then, I'll post small stories on here, so at least, some people can enjoy themselves!
