For the past two years I have belonged to IMAGES Photo Club, an English speaking photography club in Den Haag.  I’ve really enjoyed being a part of the club, especially the outings that I’ve been on with them, like the sailing trip and the trip to Texel.  One thing I’ve always wanted to do (but been too afraid to) was …

Back in June I went on a day trip to the island of Texel (said “Tessel”) with my photography club.  This is something I was really looking forward to as I’d not been to any of the Dutch islands in all the time I’ve been living here.  It was a bit of a long way to go for a day …

Sunday morning I woke up and my back was still killing me, but I couldn’t stand the thought of not making it to Keukenhof.  The last time I was there was about 8 years ago and I was due for another visit.  I packed my camera bag with painkillers and tried to take the Suck it up, Buttercup approach. It …
