beelikejDue to circumstances, I didn't make or send out cards for the holiday season; there will be an end of year post about that later. Until then a big thank you to everyone who send me paper or digital wishes, they were much appreciated (and needed and loved) *smishes y'all*
Yesterday, December 23rd, was my darling nephew's 5th birtday and we celebrated with a trip to Artis Zoo in Amsterdam. Here are some photos with limited commentary (I'm not naming all the animals;)
Artis animals and family fun
Click to zoom!
Not the sharpest shot, but I had to include the tiny baby monkey, can you spot it behind the rope? Aaahw.
Thas tiny owl in front of the cactus is called a bunny rabbit owl!
Party time! Delicious cupcakes from De Drie Graefjes (you may remember that shop from the Red Velvet cake I had there last time I was in Amsterdam:)
We were just in time for the lion's porn perfomance, complete with growling and neck biting \o/
But his lady wasn't too impressed with his quick finish *g*
Heehee, Ruben is a cheeky monkey:)
Aaaand we're back where we started, with the magnificent Ox.
Selfie-time! We had a blast :-D
Afterwards my mom and I had some time left to go into Amsterdam and when it got dark we tried to find some of the light art in the canals, part of the annual Amsterdam Light Festival. We found some gorgeous pieces (and secretly hope to be able to do a boattour before the end of the festival in January)
Amsterdam Light Festival
A message on the water across from the station and main shopping street Kalverstraat.
They may just look like ordinary lights from afar, but if I zoom in, you can see there are fancy chandeliers hanging above the canal!
Behind that, on the next bridge a moving light piece of a man running and jumping across the water!
On the other side of the city center we discovered these two giant heads in the water.
Spectacular!
The End.
Happy Holidays, everyone! May your days be filled with just the right amount of merriness:)
