It had rained last night by

When I walked through the forest here near Hilversum this morning, it was still wet from the rain of the night before. It is raining a lot here this month, a great nuisance for holiday-makers, but a boon for nature. After all May and June were very dry, and July is just pushing the balance up a little bit. And we do want this country to stay so green, do we not? So we have to pay a price!

Near Hilversum, 20th July 2008, 7.37 am
Nikon D80, Nikkor 18-200 mm at 170 mm
F 10, 1/25, ISO 800

About jchanders

As a retired historian, I have a wide interest in nature photography. No longer able to travel very much, I try to find beauty nearby. And there is so much of it! I hope you will enjoy it as much as I do.
