This albums shows my pictures of the smart and beautiful red fox (Vulpes vulpes), which is becoming more and more common in Holland. Young foxes were found in the forest area "de Veluwe" near my home. Close-up pictures were taken with a 500/700 mm lens at nature-area "AWD".

This album shows the beauty of autumn. Pictures were taken near my home in the centre of Holland in the last weekend of October 2010. I have used HDR for richer and more lively colors. Enjoy.

This album shows some addiitonal pictures of butterflies, dragonflies, etc. during last summer in Holland. See also my previous album "Macro stuff 2013"

One of the most beautiful butterflies is in my opinion the common blue. This little butterfly is quite hard to find, therefore rewarding if you find them and can capture them with your camera. Pictures made with 100 macro lens

Arkemheen Polder is a low land area (polder) in the centre of Holland which serves as a protected area for migrating and breeding birds, such as redshank, warblers, swallows, geese, and even once in a while flamingo's. Best time to visit is spring time. ENJOY !!

This album shows some of the nice birds (and other animals) which I find near my house in the middle of Holland. Pictures were taken in the spring of 2014. I hope you will enjoy this trip through nature.

This album gives an impression of the very good summer of 2013 for butterflies and dragonflies in Holland.

This album shows the various beautiful birds which can be found in the reeds in Holland, such as various warblers, the hard to find water rail and the colorful bearded reedling.

In early spring the Great Crested Grebes (kuiffuten) are already very active in their mating ritual. They really show to be very much in love and have only eye for each other, giving me a chance to get relative close without disturbing them. Pictures made with a Canon 5D MK III and 500 mm IS L with 1.4 extender.

This albums shows some of my recently made pictures of the "Common Blue" butterflies. This small butterfly is doing very well in Holland.

This album shows some of the best hunters of the fields, such as the rough-legged buzzard and harrier. Most pictures are made in the Flevopolder in Holland.

This album shows the beauty of being out in the field in the early morning when butterflies and dragonflies are still fully covered by dew. Only once dried up by the sun they come to life.
Enjoy.

One of the most colorful birds in Holland is the Kingfisher (Ijsvogel). This juvenile female was showing all her beauty to a small group of photographers in a blind at the Dutch wetland nature area " De Oostvaarderplassen". Pictures were taken with a 500 mm IS L lens and Canon 40D camera.
