Due to the many rains recently, the floodplains of the rivers are flooded, like here in Oosterbeek, the Nederrijn river.
Snow
Hair ice
Hair ice or frost beard, can form on dead wood and takes the shape of fine, silky hair. This may happen when a specific fungus, exidiopsis effusa, is producing water inside the wood, being pressed out. When temperature is below zero and the air is humid, the water will turn into ice. A spectacular phenomenon.

Lime
A remarkable project at Ginkelse Heide. The soil quality of the area has deterioted rapidly over the last years with a lack of lime as a result. The consequences for nature are huge. Oak trees die and some bird species suffer from broken poots. The municipality of Ede started this project to sprinkle shell grit with a helicopter, a project planned fot 10 days.
Roots
This is one of my favorite trees: “The twelve apostles” in NP the Veluwe. I mentioned this tree in an earlier post, in April 2020. This time a more detailed view of the impressive (visible part of the) roots of the tree.
This was also the second last photo of my Canon 28-70mm lens ☹ A fast running dog touched my tripod which fell on the floor with the lens down, broken into two pieces.
