Summer vibes from Holland.

So Today i noticed that @mipiano started a new community called : Summer Vibes , where you can post anything summer related as long as it is your own content and in English , or in English and your own Language combined .

Since she has always supported my communities it's only fair that i return the favour .

I prefer the summerdays to be sunny but not to hot above 24 degrees celcius knocks me down .

But when the tempertures are right for me i like to go out and take some photos and post them online to share the world as i see it .

so ... i went through my not yet posted photo directory of this summer and picked out these gems for you to show you some Dutch Summer Vibes .

In my youth the vibes i had for summer where a lot differend then what they are today .

yup that is me +/- 45 years ago , back then summer vibes meant not going to school and have fun with friends on the camping .
And on some good days play with fire on the barbecue and cook the meat .

This summer everything is differend , i get up early drive the wife to work and go for a walk and make some photos.

At the beginning of the summer i orderd a new lens to register summer in a new way .

Instead of going all in close to the flower , you now also get to see something of the surroundings .

A pink Petunia flowering on the side of a canal .

A drone fly feeding on the Matricaria flowers , and at the same time you can actually see it was a nice summerday with sunshine and blue sky .

Or just flowering Matricaria and a blue sky

or you create a "can you find the frog / toad in this picture ? "
A little hint look in the center of the photo .

And last Monday we decided to get a new camera to make things easier for me . Yes i have been here before but not with this camera so no it's not the same photo .

And then they had this nice offer with this Auto focus lens , i hardly have used auto focus the last years but there are situations that you wished you had the AF option. So my favourite victim for testing the new lens ...

And typical in summer if you want to go outside to do something with a new lens .... it Rains. But i can show some things the neighbours car at 24mm

And the neighbours car at 105mm , and then you can still crop an image because you now have 33MP instead of 24MP on the older camera.

And the rain keeps comming

we can actually film the rain for you hang on ...

let's see if 3speak works with this . hmm 3 speak keeps hanging on 98% ...
after 2 hours i started to use youtube again sorry guys .

And you tube is already done here is the video .

water splashing on the railing

And time to stop with playing again , i need to pick up the wifes birthday present .

Although her birthday is only next week , i deciuded to get the present today because of bad experience from the past , if you go last minute shopping ... it's gone and you need to back order things .

So she wanted a sewing machine that would be a lot easier to handle for her with her poor eyesight . And that is also the reason for me to drive her to work and back home every working day .

So after doing some research we came up with the Brother invenite M380 D

After picking up the sewing machine i drove to the workplace of my wife and since i was a bit early i deciceded to go and take some pictures in the area , until ... Another Dutch summer vibe came out of the sky .

I've tried 3speak but it takes to long ...

When we got back home we decided to eat a little treat that our son in law had brought us earlier today .
For those that don't recognize it .. It's a Bosche Bol , https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bossche_bol

After we finished the coffee and the Bosche Bol i started to anoy the cat again with the camera .

While the wife started to discover her new toy , no need to leave it in a box for week , let her have some fun .

back to the cat still a bit grumpy

eventhough i didn't use any flash light

o well we all have differend summer vibes i guess .

So join the Summer Vibes and share your summer vibes , worst thing that can happen is that you make new friends 😜😂😎🍺
