About Me
- Jientje
- Antwerp, Belgium
- Welcome to the new, and improved version of Heaven in Belgium. I am Jientje. "Jientje", like the boys name Gene, followed by "chu"? "Gene-chu", that's how you pronounce my name. Yes!!!!That's it!! So now you know huh? I am an addicted blogger. I was born and raised and am still living in Belgium. Yeah, the "this-is- Tuesday-so-this-must-be-Brussels" kind of Belgium .. There, you see? Maybe you couldn't find it on the map, but at least I'm trying to change that a little by sharing lots of pictures. I really love to cook and create new things, like this blog for instance. I am a mother,a grandmothe and a wife too! They say I'm a traveler, and a photographer. Well that's just what they say, I love to make pictures, but I am far from professional ... If my English is not perfect, that would be because it's my second language. I do hope you'll forgive me any possible misspellings or strange vocabulary ... Now, as a result of all of the above, I get way too little sleep and my days are always much too short!

Macro Monday, Pretty in Pink
One year ago, while on holiday in La Provence, I made my first attempts at close up photography. Mind you, my little Canon point and shoot did not have a real macro function like the one I have now. I had never even heard of DOF or AV priority, and the word bokeh sounded very exotic to me! Anyway, one way or another, I managed to take a couple of close ups that came out rather well. They were probably very lucky shots, but still, I think they're good enough to share. Looking back, I think I can be proud of the progress I have made and the things I've learned since then. I can't wait to see what I'll be able to come up with this year...
