Last week was of course dominated by Sinterklaas on Dec. 5th. According 
to tradition, he has helpers called Zwarte Piets (Black Peter) who in 
the old days would punish the "bad" children. Nowadays Zwarte Piet is 
more popular than Santa Claus, and is friendly and funny. Here are a 
couple of them in action on the shopping street in Almere, playing with 
the children and handing out candy:

The next three pictures are around my home, taken while walking the dog 
on a foggy and frosty Saturday morning. Frozen berries of some kind 
(shows you how much I know about plants):

The last two are also fog scenes, but from the town where my children go 
to school, Hilversum. I took these the other day, right after having 
dropped off the kids in the morning:
