DeHortOpAfgelopen zaterdag kon ik o.a. de groenling, het visdiefje, de grasmus en de purperreiger toevoegen aan mijn jaarlijst. Genieten om ze weer te zien 🥳

HeleenIk schrijf. Ik werk in de natuur. Ik coach en geef instructie. En heb al veel klanten van mijn tekstbedrijf geholpen om beter te gaan schrijven. Wat nou als ik dat samenbreng? Dan krijg je Buiten Zinnen!
Mij lijkt het een tof idee: een stevige wandeling in het Geserbos, waarbij we schrijven over wat we tegenkomen. Gewoon jij, het bos en prikkelende opdrachten die je op gang brengen.
Dus, ik organiseer mijn eerste schrijfworkshops in de natuur! Deze meivakantie in het bos in Drenthe, wie weet straks ook hoog in de bergen... 🏔️

Maikel de BakkerZoutelande Through My Lens — Stories in Stillness
Photography is often about more than light and focus — it’s about perspective, emotion, and timing. These four images, taken with my Canon 5D Mark III and Sigma 100–400mm lens, represent a quiet but powerful narrative from last Sunday in Zoutelande.
📸 Image 1: My wife walking away between the wave breakers, avoiding the deeper water where I stood. A moment of everyday humor and love — where practicality meets poetry in motion.
📸 Image 2: A young girl standing alone on a small, sandy island surrounded by water. She gazes out toward the ocean, her solitude and wonder mirroring our own curiosity about the world beyond.
📸 Image 3: Here, lines take over the story — the towering dunes on one side, the endless sea on the other, and a wooden walkway that leads the eye straight to the horizon. Composition meets contemplation.
📸 Image 4: A solitary blue beach cabin, perfectly framed by sand and dune. It stands quiet and grounded — a symbol of stillness amidst the natural elements.
Each photo is a reminder that beauty lies in how we see things — and sometimes, in the space between what is and what could be.

Castor fiber – The Quiet Engineer
Sometimes, nature rewards patience with a surprise. While walking through the serene Gedbootre Bos in Tilburg-Noord with my wife, hoping to spot the elusive kingfisher, we stumbled upon something even rarer: a beaver (Castor fiber).
Once extinct in the Netherlands, the beaver is slowly making a comeback thanks to conservation efforts. This gentle giant plays a vital role in shaping wetlands — building dams, creating habitats, and improving biodiversity. Its presence is a strong signal that nature is healing, even in urban edges like Tilburg.
I photographed this individual from the side of a large ditch using my Canon 7D Mark II and Sigma 100–400mm lens. Though the image may not be award-winning, the encounter certainly was. Moments like these remind me that it’s not always about the perfect shot — sometimes, it’s about witnessing something wild, alive, and rare.
