I was out lens testing a 18-135mm that I picked up used. While it is not the sharpest lens I own it is one of the most weather sealed. It is one of two lens that I have with a nice big gasket where the lens mounts to the body. It cuts down on moisture and dusk in the camera.

Maar hoe is dahliatuin in Rekken ontstaan?
In 2010 tijdens het 100-jarig bestaan van de Vereniging Rekkens Volksfeest was er voor het eerst een dahliatuin bij de Piepermolen in Rekken. Een groep vrijwilligers heeft toen vanwege het 100-jarig jubileum van Vereniging Rekkens Volksfeest een dahliatuin aangelegd met daarin 100 soorten dahlia’s. Unieke soorten die niet verwerkt worden op de (Rekkense) corsowagens. De belangstelling voor de dahliatuin was overweldigend. Een aantal vrijwilligers heeft daarom de koppen weer bij elkaar gestoken om enkele jaren later wederom een dahliatuin te kunnen realiseren. Zo werd er in 2014 voor de tweede keer een dahliatuin aangelegd bij de Piepermolen. Deze dahliatuin was met zijn 160 soorten nog groter dan de die in 2010. Ook nu weer was de dahliatuin aangekleed met diverse accessoires. De belangstelling bij de opening was groot en ook in weken, maanden daarna zijn er vele mensen geweest die een bezoek hebben gebracht aan de dahliatuin. De reacties waren ook nu weer zeer positief, dat zorgde ervoor dat de vrijwilligers toen al besloten dat de dahliatuin ook in de jaren daarna een vervolg zou gaan krijgen. En nu is dat moment aangebroken. De vrijwilligers zijn alweer bezig met de voorbereidingen voor de dahliatuin 2022. Dit jaar zullen er weer vele soorten dahlia’s te bewonderen zijn.
De vrijwilligers zijn ruim een half jaar druk bezig met de aanleg maar vooral met het onderhouden van de dahliatuin, zij houden zich bezig met o.a. het poten van de dahlia’s, het schoffelen, het plukken van de (slechte) bloemen en aan het einde van het seizoen, het uithalen van de knollen. Dit alles is zeer arbeidsintensief, de vrijwilligers zijn hier zeker één middag in de week mee bezig.

But how did the dahlia garden in Rekken come about?
In 2010, during the centenary celebrations of the Rekken Folk Festival Association (*Vereniging Rekkens Volksfeest*), a dahlia garden was created for the first time at the Piepermolen in Rekken. To mark the association's 100th anniversary, a group of volunteers planted a garden featuring 100 varieties of dahlias—unique types not typically used on the local parade floats. Public interest in the dahlia garden was overwhelming. Consequently, a number of volunteers joined forces again to create another dahlia garden a few years later. Thus, in 2014, a second dahlia garden was established at the Piepermolen. With 160 varieties, this garden was even larger than the one from 2010. Once again, the garden was enhanced with various decorative elements. There was great interest at the opening, and many people visited the garden in the weeks and months that followed. The response was extremely positive, prompting the volunteers to decide right then that the dahlia garden would continue in future years. Now, that time has come again; the volunteers are already busy preparing for the 2022 dahlia garden. This year, many varieties of dahlias will once again be on display.
The volunteers spend more than six months hard at work—not only establishing the garden but, more importantly, maintaining it. Their tasks include planting the dahlias, hoeing, removing spent or damaged blooms, and lifting the tubers at the end of the season. All of this is very labor-intensive; the volunteers certainly spend one afternoon a week on it.
Looking less tropical than usual. After heavy rain and a low tide I thought there might be some interesting marks on the tide line. So after Effie had run madly for half an hour I found this sculpted portion of beach just after another heavy rain shower had rinsed the sand yet again.
We need a navigation Mark or two in life
Well Ok, I only need one Mark tho
hehe
We need goals in life
We need to grow
Getting out of our comfort zones
Getting new experiences
Harvest from the experiences
Living the life outside the safe walls
Be in flow
Following our intuition
Sometimes things happen so fast, but you should have faith as long as you know it feels right
It will be right eventually
And we need a buoy in life, an anchor
We need someone that we can feel safe with
Like a cliff
Solid
No matter what happens
Standing by your side
Supporting
Comforting
Loving
Goals in life are supposed to be reached by your own
But having a loved one standing by
Close to you
Makes everything easier
Because you are in balance
Communicating
Discussing different angles
Ready to take every struggle you meet
I have had no trouble dealing with stuff on my own
But it is an ocean of difference having a loved one to discuss issues with, than dealing alone
Not to mention that you say things out loud
Your opinion
And then you give light to your words
And you may see them in different light when they are spoken
Yes yes, I am in love
In love with this tremendously nice guy
In love with life itself

One from a glorious summers day in Snowdonia. The big lump in the distance is Snowdon, the highest mountain in England and Wales. Mark is clearly happy reaching the summit. Time for a bite to eat I think.

The red patch of feathers on the head of this Ruby Crowned Kinglet looks like an exclamation mark. It certainly was the right sign for my excitement when I discovered this little bird on my walk in the park this weekend. He doesn’t show that patch often and he doesn’t sit still for long. So I had to exercise lots of patience before I got this pose in clear view. I was thrilled to capture some lovely images of this little guy.

The top two are from 1950. Notice the different designs. The middle two are from the 1980s, and the bottom two are pretty recent. Notice how the B-E gets a harder skin on it faster then a B.
