tiny trumpets

today is "koninginnedag" (queen's day) in the netherlands: flags flap enthusiastically everywhere, and city centres have been transformed into the biggest street-party-garage-sale-combinations imaginable.

no two turns the same

any image-conscious bicycle worth its spokes has mastered the fine art of accessorizing...
... but it's a two-wheeler with true flair that manages to park itself against a totally flattering and colour-coordinated wall.

one small year

she holds a single pear - small, unyielding, unbearably heavy - in her hand, and finally comprehends the nature of the harvest.

double the fun
April 21, 2004
we spotted them just as they spotted us; the sight of our cameras made their noses glow redder and brought them skipping and chattering our way. in excited gibberish they conferred, and in melodious gibberish they serenaded us, white gloves fluttering, as he and i clicked happily away.

this is the picture i had planned for today, because an old friend - er, acquaintance - is celebrating his birthday, but i don't really have anything to say - except "congratulations", of course - that i didn't say last year.
a visiting razzi, an unexpectedly benevolent weathergod, a glorious amsterdam spread at our feet. there's nothing like the warm sun to put smiles on people's faces, and there's nothing like the company of a charming belgian to put a smile on mine.

between saying and doing

"and forget not that the earth delights to feel your bare feet and the winds long to play with your hair." (he may need to take his hat off, though, for the full effect.) *photographing people on the street - snoozers don't count - is something i don't do much of. he does, better than almost anyone i know, and he's heading up my way tomorrow. maybe i'll pick up some pointers; maybe i won't: it will be a treat to see him again anyway.

every little thing

the only shadows that crossed our paths yesterday were those of birds reeling in the spring sunshine and trains unable to run on time.

she glances sideways, and upward, through luminous lashes.

(not) over easy

my daughter - when i gently burst the bunny-with-a-basket-story bubble - reacted in emotional disbelief, and i was as mystified as she was broken-hearted. have a fine easter weekend, all.

to make the morning last

ah.

too swiftly
i blink. i sigh. *and, speaking of time flying: i have finally gotten round to reading jeffrey eugenides' "middlesex". i very nearly missed amsterdam central station altogether this morning; it had me that enthralled. *and, speaking of FOUR: renée and alex have been together for that many years yesterday. may joy and inspiration be theirs for many, many more!
