Something for the weekend

Can you spot the real jack and the evil twin. Needless to say they aren't very good friends. A neighbor lady mentioned she counted 23 rotties in the hood. I saw a roti puppy this week too. i didnt have my camera

Some lovely October skies for your viewing pleasure.

A pretty halo around the sun.

Taking Jack to the beach before a mayan astrology class. This is Zandvoort beach. I guess I have been busy with my eyes on the skies these days. go figure.

A watery weekend

hi nic! On saturday we took the motor bike to volendam. loads of sailboats but this one was one of the larger ones. it was an outstanding weather day. 25 degrees, a nice breeze, the humidity was high but it was so comfortable here next to the ijselmeer.

We picked up this little number while we were there, but thought in the end it was a bit too small for us.

Funny enough we were invited out on Sunday unexpectedly for a little trip on the water in Aalsmeer. This was the main passenger. What a poser.

Iris is expecting twins in a few months! lots of children being born these days, they are coming in pairs even! Something wonderful is about to happen!

Chris the captain and our good friend Douwe. He is the owner of Banjer, Jacks favorite lady dog friend, although as she gets older she has less patience for him. Go figure...

Monday 16th of June, 2008 Tone 6 - Chuen


Uac tone Six

Representing flow and movement of volume through space, creating time. This is a day of activity and motion. Today there is the possibility for dynamic development and improvement in every aspect of life.

Uac is ruled by Mictlantecuhtli, The Aztec god of death

Chuen or Monkey is the 11th day sign and has a colorful Western energy.

Monkey intertwines new ideas, patterns or inventions into the fabric of reality creating possibilities for life changing products and patterns. (Dr. Calleman) Begin anything new today!

Practical jokes, charm and generousity are the order of the day. One may have the desire to be the center of attention and it is the silly actions that will get you noticed. Artistic expression and curiosity lends itself to constructive solutions. This is a good day to negotiate, charm and express your ideas or goods with buyers or the public. Short attention spans may keep you swinging from one thing or idea to another, try to stay focused!


...and now for something completely different


This morning was magnificent. Big fluffy clouds blew past a warm sunny sky, but never stayed too long!


This little tree is responsible for the sweetest scented air I have had the pleasure of breathing in.


Later in the afternoon we had lunch with our friend Douwe. He is the owner of Jacks very best friend. We had fun.

We had lunch in Zaanstad, this is de Zaan.

What Vance wants, Vance gets

Jack and his favorite new bear dreaming about a warm spring day.

Possibly resembling something like this.

or this.

rekel being groomed by a fairy.

We took the cbx to Delft for a party. It was Jenny's birthday.

Delft has bridges for every class. This is for the upper class.

the middle class

and the poor bastards.

The gemente building, every good center has one.

Delft is the city of churches, how many can you count in this photo?

they also have several angles. it is a city of angles

Delft has people. People who enjoy sitting out in front of their homes or other peoples homes watching the traffic pass and drinking rose. Actually this is part of the the birthday party.

here is the other half.

here is a little boy in a brightly colored tunic.

But mostly Delft has beautiful flowers meticulously poised in window boxes and some that wildly climb the walls.

while others find a quiet peaceful place to sit.
