WOW, I love this tabblo! Especially the first picture (on the left) is really great... you could add a whole story to it! Btw, nice to see my mother in the tabblo as well :-)

Snooway said at 9:27 a.m. on Oct 9, 2008:

Leftofcenter said at 9:30 a.m. on Oct 9, 2008:

Leftofcenter said at 9:32 a.m. on Oct 9, 2008:
poppies in the sand is my favorite photo too. that was taken in "Hoek van Holland".

Chilla said at 9:43 a.m. on Oct 9, 2008:
Beautiful tabblo, congrats on TOD. The picture of the poppies is wonderful!

Bxrgirl27 said at 9:50 a.m. on Oct 9, 2008:
Annelies - some beautiful photos in this series. I especially like the one of the flowers w/the window and the sun and buildings peeking out from behind.

Lifequest22 said at 10:08 a.m. on Oct 9, 2008:
This tabblo is a total delight to scroll through. Surprises all the way down, starting with the poppies in the sand to the blooming welness to the piano keys and you and birthday girl, Mom, and finishing with that stunning "look up through the tree" shot. An absolutely perfect TOD-congrats, amiga.

Siagian said at 10:15 a.m. on Oct 9, 2008:
great beaches, sculptures, and shopping... looks like the perfect place for a vacation! i like #20 best. "selamat hari jadi" to your ibu, and congrats on TOD! =)

Wildthing said at 10:17 a.m. on Oct 9, 2008:
Great TOD. So many terrific shots. Love that last one, looking up the tree trunk.

Cowgirl said at 10:29 a.m. on Oct 9, 2008:
lovely tabblo ... love the beach shots and you with your mom....

Chiloedream said at 10:33 a.m. on Oct 9, 2008:
Des images que j'aurais aimé faire. Sublime, le sable, les reflets, le feuillage. Oh la la la la la, du grand art. Bravo sweet bc. Tc.

Leeuwjan said at 10:39 a.m. on Oct 9, 2008:
Zeer gefeliciteerd met dit "Tabblo of the day". Erg leuk tabblo. I love the shot you with Mom.
Ik noteer wel even dat dit "tabblo van de dag" uit Holland komt. o zo! I miss the flip flops.

Ira said at 10:44 a.m. on Oct 9, 2008:
I like a variety of your photos. Them it is not boring to look. You have sight on the environmental world both validity. Interesting and catching the feature.

Leftofcenter said at 10:54 a.m. on Oct 9, 2008:
dankjewel Jan, mijn laatste 7 tabblos komen uit Holland, ons prachtig kikkerlandje!!

TOD!! Thank you TABBLO GODS this is so overwhelming, had to change my avatar to blue converse (going underground) ;)

Thanks everyone, after all that beach fun, the TREE in front of my "cabane au Canada" seemed most representative of HOME (it was that or the empy take-out pizza boxes in my kitchen!)

PAM: I didn't stay in that room, I just loved that corner, the red curtains, the Moroccan pillows, the light comin' in from the window...

Thx both amigas, LINDA: I put on my blue cons for you :)

WOODY: terima kasih from my ibu :)

TC: tu rigoles? c'est toi que j'essaie d'imiter dans beaucoup de mes images (les fillettes sur la plage par exemple) merci quand même, bises

Chiloedream said at 11:02 a.m. on Oct 9, 2008:
Je rigole? A moitié bc, tu m'as dépassé. Combien de fois par an tu viens en Europe? Cela mérite bien une petite chanson :

la grande Barbara, superbe cette chanson: tout le temps qui passe, ne se rattrape guère, tout le temps perdu, ne se rattrape plus... merci tc! (et on ne dépasse pas le grand Chiloe, trop drôle le parrain...)

Leftofcenter said at 11:21 a.m. on Oct 9, 2008:

A wonderful collection of images that just take you there - and follow your path! Great job and WELL DESERVED TOD!!! Kelly
PS: I LOVE THE PIANO IMAGE!

Leftofcenter said at 1:31 p.m. on Oct 9, 2008:
Thanks Kelly! The piano image was kinda "tricky", I had my arms around my mother and the camera under her nose and I told: play naturally!! :) she's an amazing classical pianist...

Leftofcenter said at 1:51 p.m. on Oct 9, 2008:

Eduardo.affonso said at 5:37 p.m. on Oct 9, 2008:
Pristine photos, with your unmistakable signature. One more bwana for my collection. And your title is pure poetry, as usual.

Gerardfotografeert said at 5:38 p.m. on Oct 9, 2008:
Prachttabblo Annelies met erg mooie foto's. ik heb blijkbaar de keren dat ik er ben geweest de laatste tijd, de beelden gemist welke jij wel hebt gezien. Erg mooi. een van de mooiste foto's vind ik de reflectie van het Khurhaus, prachtwerk. Gefeliciteerd met je moeder trouwens ook erg leuk Maar ook gefeliciteerd met TOD.(terecht trouwens)

Andre. said at 6:19 p.m. on Oct 9, 2008:
And I like the very first image,"Spectators" and "Pim van den Akker". Reminds me something...someone...whatever...:)

Sirnicolay said at 6:33 p.m. on Oct 9, 2008:
Beautiful vacation photos, Annelies! Congrats on TOD!

EMA said at 6:57 p.m. on Oct 9, 2008:
Beautiful shots and nice layout and tittle. Deserved TOD! Cheers!:)

Clydo said at 8:07 p.m. on Oct 9, 2008:
Great adventure! I love the airplane window and piono shot! you've captured the whole essence of your visit well! TOD!!!

Leftofcenter said at 9:44 p.m. on Oct 9, 2008:
Thank you EVERYONE for your enthusiasm, this wasn't really a vacation, it's the time I spent once a year at least in the Netherlands to be with my mom & family my home faraway from home (Montreal/Canada)
love the new look EDU, I wonder wot those spectators remind u of AND-ANDRE?? thanks again everyone, TGIF!! (well, almost..)

Mariusblack said at 11:59 p.m. on Oct 9, 2008:
hey, Annelies! congratulations on TOD!!! i have to say, you're getting better and better each day. the second shot is brilliantly composed! i love how you framed the shot to make the red flowers cut the screen diagonally. the 6th and 7th from the last are wonderful also. i'm loving the whites and lines and the unobtrusive color brought by the rope..... and the use of flare from the sun through the flowers. ahhh. magical, brilliant tabblo from start to finish. *applause, applause!* =D

Abking said at 1:53 a.m. on Oct 10, 2008:
It's all been said! Your commentators are almost as brilliant as your photos. Congratulations on well deserved TOD.

Abking said at 1:56 a.m. on Oct 10, 2008:
One highlight: hatted Buddha facing hatted mannequins.

Nina1960 said at 5:06 a.m. on Oct 10, 2008:
Prachtige foto, de handen van je moeder op de piano...mooi om aan de muur te hangen..

Whya said at 11:13 a.m. on Oct 10, 2008:
this is another great tab, A! love your captions and title! just perfect.

AliDar said at 1:31 p.m. on Oct 10, 2008:
As always, you put this together so well. Glimpses of things that have meaning for you, things that catch your eye that are worth contemplating. Each shot has captured a moment that we all can identify with, but with enough Leftie twist for us to see it differently that we normally would. The total package tells a story that's both revealing and illusive at the same time, and as always, leaves me feeling like I've read a page out of your journal that you wrote in poetic verse, in a language uniquely your own.

AliDar said at 1:33 p.m. on Oct 10, 2008:
Good to see that folks are learning to speak Leftie too. Congrats on making TOD! :)

Leftofcenter said at 7:07 p.m. on Oct 10, 2008:
Thanks Marius, thanks Allan (aren't the comments priceless?? i think everyone just feels @ "home" on my tabs- and that's KEWL with me!)
Thanks April and thank you DAR for such an extensive & positive analysis, I like the "leftie twist" I really appreciate this, no <G> here. After each one of my trips, I like to put out my favorites/my "best" if you will. I'm glad you all liked them too. THANKS again.

Lifequest22 said at 8:26 p.m. on Oct 10, 2008:
That piano shot is great. You should frame it for your mom. Love the blue cons.

Leftofcenter said at 8:28 p.m. on Oct 10, 2008:
Andre might be right, I see HUGE GAPS in my tabblo at this very moment...

Lifequest22 said at 8:33 p.m. on Oct 10, 2008:
WOT. Where??

Leftofcenter said at 8:38 p.m. on Oct 10, 2008:
there, everywhere! no pics, just big black holes......................

Lifequest22 said at 9:01 p.m. on Oct 10, 2008:
