Vakantieplannen
Vandaag gaan de Europese binnengrenzen grotendeels weer open. Naast de rust in de omgeving en drie maanden quality-time met het gezin door de lockdown, haalt het opheffen van reisbeperkingen de beklemming van de opgelegde maatregelen voor een groot gedeelte weg.
De dreiging van corona/covid-19 zal nog een tijd onder ons zijn, maar het is fijn wat meer bewegingsvrijheid te hebben om te gaan en te staan waar je wilt. Op gepaste afstand, vanzelfsprekend.
Volgens de kenners wordt het een lange, hete en droge zomer.
De zonnebrillen liggen klaar. Ik heb er drie: een sportuitvoering voor op de fiets, eentje voor huis-tuin-en keukengebruik en eentje voor in de auto.

The Bee Keepers Garden
Last week we've had a little vacation in Mayrhofen, Austria. We didn't do much: the children mostly wanted to swim in the nearby swimming pool. The wife and I mostly read books, magazines and the latest news on our smartphones.
Mayrhofen is a very quiet place after the snow has disappeared. Also a very neat place. I found it difficult to find interesting points of view for sketching. When everything looks so well organized it tends to be boring. The houses all look very tidy. Luckily enough I found an interesting view from one of the balconies of our appartement into the backyard of the neighbours' house. The neighbour turns out to be a bee keeper and I've tried to capture some bees in flight.
