With that in mind, I really like how strong your image is with the lady that looks at her smartphone where she could instead look at the installation in front of her, the drinking couple and the outsiders. Your image conveys the message better then the explanation van Lieshout gives in your article

(Interesting observation, the man on the left wears his keys the same way I do. Note to self: Fix holes in jeans' pockets so I can wear my keys inside the pockets again)

Thanks Buddy.  Keys are of course a symbol of 'possession' and therefor a form of slavery.

A nice romantic garden you have there, Fons.
The third pic appeals to me most it is so soft.

The swarms are wonderful. Fairy tale stuff

Thanks Frank .. I like your school party shots of the band.

Your bird series also nice but what a poor looking bird in #107, 3. and 4.   

June 12., I actually managed to get a bird shot today - a lazy dove outside my bedroom window was my luck.

Thanks John ... and what a nice bus! 

June 12. Inspired by John's Pokeweed shots and talk about toxic plants - I went to a historical pharmacy garden we have in the town. There are several toxic plants and I picked a few to show here. Windy and hand held .. apologies for the lack in image quality.

Name first - then plant.

I need to shoot yet today. Light is just on the verge of becoming decent. I even carried a camera with me most of the day....

[Frank Fremerey]

Lars. Your medical plants remind me: I must attend some visits to our botanical gardens soon.

i love this magic of the Shamanic roots leafs berries blooms....

fascinating.
