Spring is officially *ON* in the Netherlands 🌸 Trees are blossoming, the water birds are showing off to their mates, and toad migration is in full swing. I for one am happy that the sun has returned and human life is moving outside again.

Today my friend Swan and I found this big-ass magnolia and decided to try our hand at making magnolia syrup. We used the ‘quick method’, which takes about 15 minutes but involves cooking the flowers (as opposed to the slow method which is simply soaking them in water for 24 hours and then cooking the water with sugar). Right now the syrups are cooling on the counter and we’re very excited to see how they turn out!

The simplest things are often the very things that make you feel alive 💚

I spent last weekend at a cabin in the woods with my friend Lissy and her golden retriever Morris, having good conversations, making pine needle tea, reading books, hiking long distances, climbing trees, and enjoying the sun. Even though my body ached a bit from all the walking, I couldn’t have been happier. We even found a partial deer skull (it’s on the last slide for those who don’t want to see it)! Going outside truly never gets old 🍃

Edit: nooooo @Pixelfed why have you started cropping photos? Please stahp 🥲

My good friend Stella in nature. It’s giving dark, witchy, LotR-esque vibes and I’m here for it ✨

I’ve recently started taking more film photos of the people in my life and the results always make me so happy. The film really seems to bring out their wonderful essence :) so that’s something I want to experiment with a little more!

Grey (and grainy!) mornings on the banks of the Rhine river. Collecting little feathers, saying hi to the water birds and admiring the shapes and textures of this tiny nature reserve.

This magical, fungi-filled tree broke in half the other day. My friend used to greet it on her forest walks and last year she took me to see it, which is when I took this photo. I’m glad I got to see it whole 💚
