Today is King's day in the Netherlands (the king's birthday) and it is a countrywide celebration with flea markets and festivals.

Since the lion is our national animal and we happened to have a couple of stone lions that came with the house, I decided to dress them up in the national colours. That's as far as my patriotism generally goes 😁

A modern version of the typical Dutch landscape. Fluffy clouds, water, and windmills as seen from the Afsluitdijk.
