Where did time go? I just can’t believe it’s another weekend and time to post photos for my favorite meme, The Weekend Snapshot! By the way, if you’d like to join in the fun, simply click that button on top of this entry ;)

My entry for this weekend. Wij noemen ze Meerkoet (Fulica Atra) (english: we call them water chicken, though they are far from looking like chicken, I think.) Most striking feature of this birds are their red burning eyes. They look like chicken of Dracula?

Together with ducks they populate most Dutch ponds especially this time of the year when they need to pair off with each other. I tell you Spring Time is the busiest time on the ponds.

I feel like a Peeping Tom at times when this happens and sometimes it still can shock me *lol* ….but I consider this a bonus when I’m shooting….the wonder of nature *tee hee*

Have a wonderful weekend, friends!
