Tidbits of Holland

Poffertjes – delightful treats, drenched in butter and powdered sugar (icing sugar for our British friends). 😋
Making poffertjes.
This measuring pole indicates the flood water heights. The water was as high as that red marker approximately 50 years ago. The dykes held the water back, with very limited damage to the surrounding windmills.
And you thought you saw the end of flower pics(?) Nope! 😉
Too magnificent to walk by without a photo!
And too cute to ride by this moorhen and fluffy baby.
We spotted many of these baskets in the canals.
Turns out they are duck nesting baskets!
On the prowl…
Looking over the canal – “if I were a big cat, I’d go after those seagulls down there!”
I just cannot resist a grebe!!!
