WEEKLY BLURB: Could not believe my ears, while making my lunch that day – I heard and emergency message on my stationary phone: “So-and-so went out of his residence this morning, May 12, description of weight and height.
“He is armed and dangerous. Do not approach him. Just call!” Was this the movies, or what? No wonder people have guns to protect themselves. There’s plenty of space here in the mountains to hide!

Sometimes, I like things to be straight forward, not embellished, or making it more appealing to the eye. This was one of those times. Also, sometimes I show my quirky side:) So, this is “My Happy” for our Beautiful World
Fri Hunt starts with U: Unexpected (1)
Weeks Favorite: Sunset (5)
In the morning: Bird Walk early in the morning) (4)
(4) My Bird Walk early in the Morning. I am Tireless!
(5) THE RANDOM: At some places in Holland it’s hard to avoid water, like Giethoorn. Also called the Venice of the North. They take advantage of offering tourists a ride in their boats, instead of having to walk all the way to down town:)

That is a disconcerting message you heard on your phone. I’ve tried to figure out why the US is more violent that other countries, maybe it is the social control thing you talk about.

Lovely shots! I must disagree though and say that there is never a justification for guns and shooting!
LikeLike
You’re right – there is never any justification to kill someone, whether it is by choking or beating someone to death, drowning someone, poisoning, or any other way. It’s not only guns!! It has all the same intent: to kill. Remember it took me 30 plus years to change my philosophy. People in W-Eur. are not violently minded (remember, I’m Dutch), but when you live somewhere else, it may sometime come to a choice: it’s you or them who will come out alive. I hope I never have to make that choice!

Hi Jesh, We live in the mountaains but do not have a gun either. It is scary to think someone can hide anywhere in our mountains.
Your photos are all beautiful but the last one and the one you shared with Blue Monday is so serene and beautiful. The water busses are fun to see and I bet they are used a lot. Holland is a beautiful place to visit.
Have a happy week.

indeed…… i can imagine that there were you live….. guns are more ‘common’ to have… but still i fear them, owning one bears the risk of it beeing taken from you and used against you… I would not allow them in my house.

Thank you! Yes, it could be watermelon:) It’s a compromise between reds and pinks that I like (and avoiding the baby pink and orangy red I don’t like, lol)

well only the one section felt that watermelon slice – and whatever you did with the color made the white feel that much better – if that makes sense. (and you know I love your art./…)
