Talking about procrastination I’ve been putting off photography for a while now. Don’t know why, just not into it or not taking the time to plan trips. It’s not the end of the world, but if you love what you do, you need to make time. My time is now taken by cycling and training. Maybe I will do something with both, photography and cycling - two birds in one stone.

Spring is in full bloom, birds are everywhere and flower are growing and trees are in blossom. The best time for photography and especially bird photograghy. I wish I made more time to get the photos I’m chasing at the moment, but I'm not. This is not an excuse, but a realisation, if you want that photo and to become better at your craft you just need to do it more!

Finally I was overwhelmed with many bearded reedlings where as before this really was my nemesis bird. It always eluded me. Now I had the change to photograph it with plenty of different birds in the area, even a female as well.

Nothing much to add really other then it was a really nice and sunny day, warm even. The sun blasted over the dunes. However a few hours later the clouds came rolling in and the grey weather was taking over. Still some nice photos to take with me after a 3 hour hike.

The last one to rule them all. A long time in the making and it took way too long. The last one in the series of Grindelwald exploration. This time I combined the last two days as day 5 was an epic and long day (my fault entirely). The last day was a more relaxed day, as it was an easy walk downwards to the city center, however the day ended with an absolutely stellar shot (in context of that day). Nice!

So this is embarrassing, this blog took way too long. Construction at home, work, covid etc. It all didn’t help. However all is done and finished, sort of. There are two more blogs of Switzerland coming up, including this one -or- when I feel like it I just dump it all in one blog. One to rule them all.

So where did we left off the last blog? Due to construction at home, holidays and suddenly it becoming 2022 and the next lockdown, I get lost in my to do list. This one is far over due as well as the following days I spend in the Alpes in Switzerland. I’ll be short this one as day 2 and 3 where full of rain and mist. However still wanted to get some hiking done as siting inside in such a surrounding feels a total waste.

After 1,5 year staying in The Netherlands for holiday or just travel and travel photography I finally got to a point where I could plan (with all covid-19 measures in place) and go on a trip. The mountains were calling as I had the urge to see and experience mountains, hiking and views like I did two years ago in the Dolomites. See here in other blog stories. Man, I really liked the Dolomites!

So summer is always challenging for photography, especially landscape photography, but also wildlife and nature as all seems to slow down or just play hide and seek. Summer it seems to be the transition phase between the busy spring period and the preparing for winter autumn period.
