In June it was nice photo weather to walk around Meijendel, the water extraction area near the dunes between The Hague and Wassenaar. The most special observation that month was a tree frog. Not found by me, but I was also allowed to take a few photos of the ladies who kept looking at the bushes. That year there was a lot of water in the dune area in the pools, which the dragonflies and orchids can appreciate.
