water . . . and materials

When I need some new materials for my creative work
I make a visit to Rotterdam.
That I do by boat,
and to be more specific : me and my bike go by boat.
(that way I can move around more easily
than when I go by bus)

But since a while there is some extra water in the city . . .

right now, a bit quiet, BUT . . .

it can be rough too :
just right for a bit of surfing !!!
New entertainment, in the center of the city !

New odds and ends.

The garden in Mai is always great
but, right now in August
I'm quite happy with it too !!!

A few days ago daughter found this fun flower,
fallen from a tree in our village

But what a coincidence when I saw the mail
from the "National Tree Museum"
with a flower similar to this one !

I think it must be the

Albizia julibrissin

(the "Persian sleeping tree")
