    Groetjes, Minne.

  • Ellen replied

    Bedankt Minne, ook jij Fijne Paasdagen toegewenst!
    p.s. 2de paasdag ga ik met een kennis foto’s maken in de Zoo in Antwerpen. Hoop dat het mooi weer is. Vooral de Flamingo’s zijn zo leuk om te fotograferen. Groeten, Ellen.

  • Minne

    Minne

    Dank je wel Ellen. Het lijkt maandag redelijk mooi weer te worden volgens het KNMI. Niet veel zon maar denk dat vooral voor het fotograferen van flamingo’s wel goed zit. Ik had Texel in de planning maar helaas….mijn auto is stuk en kan pas volgende week gerepareerd worden. Nu heb ik een redelijk grote tuin dus ik ga me zeker wel vermaken :-). Heel veel plezier en maak vooral (veel) mooie foto’s en laat ons hier meegenieten. Houdoe, Minne.

  • Ellen replied

    Dan kun je vast veel macro-foto’s maken in je tuin!
    Fijne dagen gewenst; Ellen.
