A day shooting in the south-west of the Netherlands, Dintelse Gorzen, a nature reserve owned by Natuurmonumenten near Steenbergen, Noord Braband. Cows, horses, orchids (only one kind found flowering, canadian geese, not loved by Natuurmonumenten, hooverfly and midges. And at the way back, near Dinteloord an old-timer rally… and a nice chat with another old-timer 🙂

Even een week naar Zuid Spanje geweest. We zaten in Nerja en zijn naar Granada, Cordoba en Antequera geweest en alles daartussenin.
Natuur en cultuur in een aangename temperatuur, deels zonnig, deels bewolkt. Bloeiende amandelbomen, 1 soort bloeiende orchidee (Barlia), een soort Iris en nog wat planten. Het was een
beetje erg vroeg in het jaar, zelfs voor deze contreien.
