Jos takes photos

 A bag, some keys. Looks like they were put there to take when leaving. Leaving, why, where too, oh is it that time of the year again? More to come in a few days Stay happy, healthy and a bit curious.  That's the best way to survive!

sometimes it's not easy to find words. Maybe emotions, memories or the actuel situation are simply to complex, to much at the time.  That's when you find no words.  Luckely that's not the matter right now with me.  But still no words. Feeling not that good, corona strikes again but it's no longer a strong virus. Although still strong enough to make you feel sick and tired.  No energy to find not only the right words but no words at all.  So to make it up to the loyal or not loyal at all readers some photos. Because that's what it is all about, I think. Yes, they're all pictures of animals, they don't talk, maybe with the parrot as an exception . . . Stay happy and healthy and optimistic, maybe even speechless . . .

  Love that light that changes everything that is touched by it.  Simply everyday things, simply sunlight , simply summer , simple life . I tried to capture it, here are some results . . . Stay happy, healthy and optimistic !

Yesterday I was watching the Tour de France on TV. One of the toughest stages, perhaps even the toughest. A lonely rider was in the lead for the last 30 kilometers, with all the big names at a distance. It was obvious he would be caught.  Besides, it was his first Tour. He came to learn the Tour, had even finished second in an earlier stage, and now this. The brave young rider, as usual, would be caught just before the finish. That's how the big guys do it. This time too? No, the young man won. His name is Tymen Arensman.  I saw the interviews afterward and thought, "I know him."  I saw him sitting on a sidewalk with his parents, waiting for the start of the Tour of Portugal.  The press wasn't very interested in him yet. He was still at his start.  A few months later, he'd be on many channels.  Life is full of surprises. Update: On Friday 25 juli Tymen Arensman did win again in the mountains. By just two seconds he defeated Jonas Vingegaard en Tadej Pogacar...

Conversations during a heat wave. Right no, in middle Europe we have a heat wave.  So if this post is a bit different, blame the heat. Anyway that's what I do. Sometimes you don't know. Don't know what? Don't know It's hot. Yes, it's hot. Too hot? Too hot, for what? For you. No and for you? What? Too hot. No, not for me. But it's hot

Choices  , life seems, for the most part at least, to consist of choices.  Big choices with possibly drastic consequences, small choices that seem less important but sometimes and in retrospect turn out to be of great influence, or just not and then quickly forgotten.  Clever of us humans that we do all that and then often act as if it is nothing.  Fortunately, it is often nothing or almost nothing. Stay happy, healthy and optimistic, the world still needs it!
