There are days to feel good, meet people, laugh, and take walks in the sun. There are also days to feel low, in mood for nothing, and sad for apparently no reason.
I took these photos in and around Vondelpark on such good day, to post them now, when I’m not in the best of moods. Looking at them, however, brings back good memories and it reminds me that, after all, it’s summer in Amsterdam – my 8th summer here! – and this alone should make me happy.

Thank you for sharing the photos. They are a bittersweet reminders of how much I love Amsterdam. I can remember feeling sad at times. I thought it was because I was widowed and didn’t know anyone. I lived there for a brief 2+ years. Now, since I had to return to Connecticut, I realize that Amsterdam was helping me learn how to cope. I’ve traveled a bit and never felt home until I came to Amsterdam. After I sort some health issues, I have every intention to return to the city that loved me. Continue your beautiful work.
