Good morning dear ones!
The weather in the Netherlands turned from ‘Windy and Autumn-like’
to warm sunny ‘Summer’ this week! I worked in the garden and when I
saw all the moss growing on the paving, I got my camera and figured out
the position of the ‘super macro lens’.
You’re never too old to learn something new ๐

On Friday, lovers of small words gather around the amazing Rebecca
to share their love for haiku.
Visit her blog on Recuarda Mi Corazon if you want to read more haiku.
You are also welcome to join the circle.
..
Also, I have good news for all those people who
shy away from the shipping costs for FEATURING
magazine! Some readers informed us that they
saved money by buying multiple magazines at once.
Within Europe:
if you order two magazines at once, you save 11.2%
on shipping costs.
if you order three magazines at once, you save 40.8%
on shipping costs.
People living outside Europe:
if you order two magazines at once, you save 16.8% on shipping costs.
if you order three magazines at once, you even save 43,8% on shipping costs!
Soooo… do take advantage!
Combine your order with that of your friends and save on shipping costs.
And that’s all I have to share today – the weather is too nice to spend
any more time than necessary at the computer.
Hope you all have a lovely (long?) weekend too!

Hi Marit,

Well the rain has put a damper on the kids first day of summer vacation. Cait is supposed to go to a swim party at a friend’s grandmother’s house. Despite the rain, they are still heading out in a minute. Now to figure what to do with the boy.
Karen says
Oh, it’s a whole different world in that moss!

I love the closeup of the moss. It looks like a forest for a fairy. I am still enjoying your magazine. Savouring it.

Kim Mailhot says
Oooo, that mossy wonderland is so beautiful. I would love to go and have an adventure there !
It is a long weekend in the US which is nice. Lots of time with my honey and some time making my back patio into my own summer wonderland with a few pots of flowers and and umbrella over my table and chairs out there. Feels good.
Enjoy the beautiful Netherland Summer weather !
Hugs, Beautiful Friend !

Kimberly says
I love that new perspective of moss…. and I love the sunshine that we are sharing across the North Sea! I thought of you as I posted my haiku today, that speaks of the tides that ripple back and forth between our lands. Happy weekend, my friend!
(And ps, now I want a super macro lens, too!)

Mooie opname van het mos!! Het lijkt idd of je een kijkje neemt in een sprookjeswereld…
Geniet van het mooie weer meis, zie je zitten in zo’n witte stoel onder de pergola met een boek, de rok hoog opgetrokken zodat je benen een lekker kleurtje krijgen!
Vanavond weer voor de TV??? Jureren??

Hi Marit! Glad it is summery there! Great idea to do a Macro of the moss and turn it into a Dr. Suess landscape ๐

Leo says
A wonderland in my backyard would be magical, Marit. Thanks! And that photo is very beautifully captured. A little less overwhelming watermark would’ve been nice though..!
Lea says
Marit… all you have to do is look at something and then share it and it becomes a wonderland, for you are amazing! I miss you and I am so happy to be here on your page, enjoying your macro lens, and your Friday haiku! Enjoy the warm weather and I’ll be thinking of you! XO Lea
