The painter and theoretician of the arts Pieter Cornelis Mondriaan (1872-1944) enjoyed walking along Het Gein and painting what he saw. In his footsteps this morning I, too, admired one of my favorite little rivers to the south of Amsterdam which flows from Abcoude to Driemond.
Here's a typical spring view of the river - whose name in English means something like 'pleasure' - banked by Pollard Willows - coming into their own - and a variety of Spring wildflowers: Cow Parsley, Buttercups and Mustard Seed. And soon it'll be warmer!
