One year ahead. Blipfoto has played a serious part in my life. It has induced me to improve on photography skills, but moreover, I have had tremendous fun looking at the marvellous photos fellow blippers made. It gave me a keener eye to the garden, made me drive 100ths of kilometers extra to make that one blip and even forced me to focus on completing various projects just to show off...

I remember Scorpionkisswho vanished from Blipfoto but made great street photos from Cairo. I remember Amalarian who passed away. (with a blip as a memento). Thank you for all the kind comments and encouragements. Just two personal mentions to Appreciation who has chided me more than once about not blipping and thereby bringing me back and to my good friend Fomu who introduced me to Blipfoto.

One week ago, I removed some wiring from the vineyard. In order to get it straight, I pulled it behind the Greenhouse. To make room, I cut away some branches with my Felco with my own hands, but unfortunately cutting an Iris as well... Afraid of mrs. Dutchoaks reaction, I hurried to put in an empty bottle. Sitting in a bottle it flowers in full sight instead of being hardly seen behind a brush...
