After 40 years of teaching I have stopped on June 27th 2008.

In 2006 a friend drew my attention to Flickr and since then I am a member . It gives me a lot of pleasure to see the excellent photos many people make.

I have learned to see other things than just landscapes or animals.

Besides my painting and gardening ,taking pictures has become another hobby. So I won't be bored now that I have stopped working.

After having stopped my teaching carreer, I have been asked to develop exercisebooks for young children, (maths and reading and writing)

Very nice to do.

Now there are grandchildren .

You may understand it changed my interest.

At the moment I am not so busy with the camera. More with my phone.

I hope to start again with my camera. And post them on Flickr.
