Description
The Lion is the personal coat of arms of the monarch of the Netherlands.
Everyone in The Netherlands, normally is proud on this Lion in this coat of arms.
Today I make of it a personal 'coat of arms'. Namely for Karel de Graaf. (aka kareldg)
(btw, the surname of Karel means 'A Count')
The reason?
: Today it is our 45th wedding anniversary.
So this is meant as a surprise for Karel, because he has no idea of this upload for him.
My dearest Karel, I am grateful to God for every minute of those 45 years.
I'm increasingly proud of you, and also still more and more happy with you.
P.S., We had problems with the Internet connection, but I suspect, today everything is okay again.
P.P.S., I still owed you to tell the name of the photo from 9e November, titled "the black hole".
It was the common bulrush, or broad-leaf cattail, Latin: Typha latifolia.
Dana (aka danapommet) reminded me, by putting this link for me, together with his , always lovely comment.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Typha_latifolia
Rest me to say, that this image is made by Apophysis, one layer, a bit sharpened, and a bit embossed.
Unfortunately, my lion looks a bit wild, but that's because off all those wild years of our marriage , LOL!
Wishing you all a lovely day further, and thank you very much for being here, as for being 'you'!
