Tree of clogs, Sunday, Oct. 7th, Marken, Noord Holland. This quaint little fishing peninsula is located in the area known as Waterland.
My apologies for not blogging much lately; simply juggling too many things at once. I have so much to say, yet no time to say it! Beginning this weekend I hope to kickstart this blog back into action. Thanks for staying the course!
An idyllic scene - fake cow and all. Click to enlarge and check out the gorgeous canal-side garden!
The charming courtyard of a painted wooden cottage for sale in Marken.
What else, but wheels of cheese?!
Echoes of summer.






Wow, now that is a big ol' wheel o' cheese!!! What a beautiful place. Sigh.

What enchanting photos! They're simply beautiful (especially that cheese!) A spot of beauty of whimsy. I've missed the loveliness you share and have been a tad concerned. Glad you have just been busy. Take care!

Oh if I saw those large wheels of cheese I would want to bring one home. What a temptation. So happy to see you here this morning when I stopped by. What a very lovely garden too. And I can just imagine buying the sweet painted cottage.
