  1. I was just flipping (and admiring) through your marvellous photos in 'Step Gently Out'. Now I am stepping to bed quite gently, because here in the Netherlands the clock says 'sleep, you've got to work tomorrow and it is really really late':) Posted 12 years ago
  2. Thanks Ludo. Always tomorrow. Yesterday got lucky and photographed my queen bee laying eggs. Very cool. Posted 12 years ago
    1. Are you serious?! That is truly a marvelous occasion to find oneself in. I am really looking forward to photos you might post on JungleDragon.
      Is it your own hive in your backyard ('my queen bee')? Kewl!

      Stay Wild:)

      1. I keep a beehive in my backyard. I did some experimenting and picked the right frame. Took me a while to realize I had the queen. And really nice light. Posted 12 years ago
