B-Day

My perfect birthday is a day on the beach...

searching for fossils... having the beach to ourselves

late in the afternoon the mist is rising again...

almost like a 17th century painting by Paulus Potter

You can find many photo's from over the years (in different weather) here

Natural History Museum of Maastricht

Last Sunday we visited the Natural History Museum of Maastricht
(Wikipedia also in english available here)

What an impressive entrance!!! The work of artist Han van Wetering

kenderman's favourite of the day : a fern fossil...

Mosasaurus of Maastricht

as long as I remember my family searched and found lots of small shark teeth fossils

one of my favourites of the day... the Lynx

 Not for the faint-hearted!

And don't get me wrong... I do prefer living animals

but I'm fascinated by the mummies...

Another piece of art by nature...

and some bugs...

What a magnificent room!!! Windows surround us...
I could live here happily ever after (big smile)
