Blue and white grape hyacinths, captured from a low angle—small flowers, but full of presence against the light.
This image was taken earlier that same day, before everything took an unexpected turn.
On our way into the city, my wife and I passed a park filled with young ducklings. I asked her to grab my camera from my backpack. As she handed it to me, I spotted more ducklings closer by and instinctively pointed them out… and in that moment, I let go.
SMAK.
The camera hit the ground body-first.
Panic. That instant realization of what just happened. But we were already on our way to a trusted place: Foto Teurlings in Tilburg. There, Chi reassured me—these cameras are built to endure more than we think. Hearing that helped, even if the shock still lingers.
Now it’s in for inspection, and I wait.
The image itself feels almost symbolic now. Grape hyacinths (Muscari) are early spring bloomers, resilient and persistent, pushing through cold soil to bring color back into the world. A quiet reminder that not everything fragile is weak.
Captured with my Canon 5DS R and Sigma 24–70 Art, ISO 100, f/2.6, 1/500 sec.
