the theme of this week 'grass' is once again chosen by VERONICA
for the link to the other participants, please go here
the first thing i had to think of was the photo report in the Volkskrant of a few years ago
it's called 'this land is your land, this land is my land' by WassinkLundgren
a dutch artists duo which with this photo report challenged our expectations about
values, land, and the value of land
the second thing was cows, it's the time of year that the cows for the first time,
after the winter, go in the meadow, see here
the etching of a cow is part of my graduation work, i made it in 1994
three sawed pieces etching plate with the print of grass
but my most favorite grass is the grass that Youngest drew me
when he was about 5 years old
with a muscari ;^))

the theme 'the key' is chosen by VERONICA

a few weeks ago i spent the day with an old friend in Rotterdam
the city where i was born and lived until i was 9 and we moved to a village
i moved back to Rotterdam, this time to the centre, when i was 22
i lived and worked there, (met my Love and our two sons were born there),
until 13 years ago we moved to the village where we still live
Rotterdam is the place that i (still) call 'home'
my heart leaps a little when i hear the name Rotterdam
and so fine, the water is always nearby ;^))
the best way to approach the city is from the east:
the view of the city driving along the Maasboulevard is beautiful
that picture is made by Paul Martens
i am not sure all this fits the theme
but for me Rotterdam is one of 'the keys' that makes me me
een paar weken geleden bracht ik, samen met een oude vriend, de dag door in Rotterdam
de stad waar ik ben geboren en leefde tot ik 9 was en we verhuisden naar een dorp
ik verhuisde terug naar Rotterdam, dit keer naar het centrum, toen ik 22 was
ik woonde en werkte er, (leerde mijn Lief kennen en onze beide zonen werden er geboren),
tot we 13 jaar geleden verhuisden naar het dorp waar we nu nog steeds wonen
Rotterdam is de plaats die ik (nog steeds) 'thuis' noem
mijn hart maakt een sprongetje als ik de naam Rotterdam hoor
en ook zo fijn, het water is altijd vlakbij ;^))
de beste manier om de stad te benaderen is vanaf de oostkant:
het zicht op de stad rijdend over de Maasboulevard is prachtig
die foto is gemaakt door Paul Martens
ik ben niet zeker of dit alles past bij het thema
maar voor mij is Rotterdam een van 'de sleutels' die mij mij maakt
inspired by Barbara with her monday quote
and Vibeke, like Ruthie, with a monthly quote
i am going to join!
in the beginning of every month i will make
a 'monthly quote' post
starting today
'And above all
watch with glittering eyes the whole world around you,
because the greatest secrets are always hidden in
the most unlike places. Those who don't believe in magic
will never find it.'
Roald Dahl
