Only seven weeks into 2015, and this weekend I already found flowers to photograph. Crazy! This winter’s no winter.

So far we haven’t had a real winter here in Amsterdam this year either, but last night it snowed for the first time! Unfortunately it’s melted away already.. These pictures were taken this morning

When the birds don’t cooperate it’s nice to have the macro lens in the camera bag, so you don’t have to come home empty handed π

Why oh why did I only bring a macro lens with me on holiday! Big mistake! I saw so many pretty little birds and really missed a zoom lens. Well here are some pictures anyway; one of a Blue Tit (Parus caeruleus) and a couple of red dots which are Eurasian Bullfinches (Pyrrhula pyrrhula)..
