#100strangers /40 Lotte
Lotte (stranger 40)
On my walk through the reed countries between Maasland and Vlaardingen I met Lotte. She approached the narrow path along the Vlaardingervaart with a pair of scissors and a large basket. What will she do ?, I wondered. Curious as I am, I spoke to her and asked what she is doing. She said that she has a small sheep meadow next to the canal. This year she has two sheep and three lambs. Thistles all grow in the meadow. “Beautiful flowers and good for the butterflies, but I don't want to have too much of it. That is why I cut the spent buds off and throw them away. That's how I keep it a bit under control ”.
I was allowed to take a picture of her (and in the meantime her cat was watching us). The photo was also allowed on the internet; but she did not want to tell her name there, she is not allowed on the internet. That's why I call her Lotte (one of the most common names in the area).
This is the 40th photo of my second round of the # 100stangers project.
