Goepfert Park, Spring Themed Shots Week 14 2010

It was a bit sunny today. I fully utilized the day from this morning 'til this afternoon. Although I am still coughing like a wild hound, I feel a bit rested with this 4-day weekend! Back to work tomorrow and 360km daily travel but I am recharged now. This morning, I spent approximately 80 minutes practising the roller skates and it was fun and a great exercise as well. Of course I did my twice (morning + night) exercise in the morning, my abs exercise as well as the push-ups (all light). After lunch, Amore and I decided to head to the park righ away to take advantage of the "very rare" sunny Dutch weather. We stayed half an hour in the park before the sun got shy and hid behind the clouds again. Despite all these, I was still able to capture some sunny (and also cloudy) spring shots. This was in Goepfert park. Here are the photos:


Humans: "Fancy a horse-coach ride? We did it! It's so cool, mind you." Horses:"Why these creatures are so lazy _utts?"

I'm alone... but not lonely.

Grasses: "Here we grow again."

Stormy skies, gloomy sighs...

Abandoned...

Anything with wheels is cool...

"One for all, all for one." No wind can blow away solid and united leaves.
Bare... naked... beautiful...

Exercise Sunday: A 40-Kilometer Biking Adventure

Biking a total of at least 40 kilometers last Sunday in my mini-city bike was quite an effort and an achievement at the same time. It was exciting, a rainy adventure and we were all totally soaked! All the same, it was enjoying! Our destination was the Tea Garden or the Theetuin in Millingen and we came from Nijmegen. You can imagine if you are near either of the two places. It was raining hard so no much photos along the way.












The lil hotel and bar where we stopped by along the way to have some refuge away from the rain. I was so thirsty that I could not order something hot but a cold drink. The place was a real good business destination. It was beaming with customers.

This was the view before we enter the Theetuin. I think the reason why most of those fellow customers were NOT soaked like us is explained by the presence of this horse-drawn coach.

My Pakistan soup and white wine. The entrance fee was only €5 with a drink (the wine) but one may choose soup or tea as well.

The live band where we joined playing the "maracas".. I dunno if I spelled it right.

I was able to take shots of the place despite the raining. Just trying for some remembrance.

It was without hope  to be able to stay out.
