SURPRISE ABSTRACT

Heartily thanking Isabelle for hosting this fabulous challenge.
It had still rained during the night, but in the morning the clouds began to disappear and Piet Hein and I cycled to Kijkduin, for a walk along the shore of the sea. There were high waves, but not in all places along the coast, and we could go into the water on a safe place.
I stayed very close to the shore, and Piet Hein went just a bit farther, stayed on the safe side.
It was so nice to enjoy the wind, the salt, and the sunshine.
After lunch I cycled to Wateringen, going through the parks of Madesteyn and the Uithof. It had been a long time since I had visited the city farm, and I found the peacocks still alive. One male and two females, they looked a bit old, their feathers a bit dusty.
I took pictures of the male, and especially of the feathers, having in mind the abstract theme. I changed the colours just a bit.
Mischa came to join us for our meal and we were happy to sit outside on the balcony, talking about our day.
