On one of our recent bike trips we discovered these giant fungi. It was huge.
It was just perfect for a Macro Monday photo shoot!

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, Buzz Buzz …

Macro Monday, Prince Frog
This is the latest addition to the small collection of frogs I own. I bought it at Macey’s in Chicago last year, and it was not until weeks after I bought it that I discovered I could actually open it!

Macro Monday, Piece of Cake

How doth the little busy bee
Improve each shining hour,
And gather honey all the day
From every opening flower!

Macro Monday, Food … Glorious Food!
My friend Annie and I love to cook. About three or four times a year we get together, dig up some interesting recipes and spend an afternoon in the kitchen to prepare a gourmet menu. This is what we made a couple of weeks ago.
A little appetizer made of zucchini filled with bacon and goat’s cheese.
Appetizer number two : scampi with pink grapefruit, arugula and ginger.
The entree, langoustines and asparagus.
Lamb chops with a basil sauce
and as a dessert we had a vanilla bavarois with balsamic vinegar and chocolate sauce.

Macro Monday, Changing Colors
Each year in Spring I look forward to see my Rhododendron burst out in blooms.
It’s always fascinating to see how the colors of the flowers evolve …
… from dark fuchsia pink
to bright pink …
… fading into a more creamier pink
cream with a pink blush
to cream
and cream with little brown spots on it. It will be sad to see them wither.

Macro Monday, The Train, Up Close and Personal…
This is the last set of pictures of the steam train I photographed a couple of weeks ago. I was really lucky to be able to get so close to it and capture every tiny detail.
