Parc de Hauster

November last year we visited Parc de Hauster in Chaudfontaine.

Due to Covid one of the few trips we made that year.

I was hoping to see a Giant Clothespin sculpture by Mehmet Ali Uysal...

We saw beautiful monumental trees... interesting art... food for the soul ★

Such a wonderful day although we couldn't find the giant clothespin.

Time to Chill

 

You might find some time to relax on a Sunday. Enjoy your day!

Art of Nature II

Last week we visited Galerie Wit.

The galerie is closed but we had to pick up an etching by Charles Donker.

You can visit the current exposition online here.

Being close to the Lower Rhine (Nederrijn) we went for a walk...

Such a beautiful river landscape...

Brussels Design Market

To my big surprise we went to Brussels Design Market!

We bought our preview tickets in March but the event got cancelled twice.

This time a much smaller selection of vintage design and less visitors.

A beautiful graphic design by Walter Cremers... 

I really liked the pattern on a ceramic plate... made by Egersund Norway

Fern Expedition

Last Sunday we visited quarry 't Rooth for a fern "expedition".

The kenderman is a member of the Dutch Fern society and I was allowed to join them.
The weather was perfect and the group was small...

Our guide had the key to this abandoned quarry.
This area is closed of and managed by the Limburgs Landschap.

Polystichum aculeatum a.k.a. hard shield-fern (link in English and Dutch)

a rare and to me a new thistle : Carlina vulgaris (link in Dutch)

 a to me new Dipsacus: Dipsacus pilosus (link in Dutch)

Asplenium ceterach aka Rustyback (link in English and Dutch)

And just before we split up... some giveaways to whoever interested in ferns.
