I found I ... AlphabetHunt

And another week is over in the #AlphabetHunt hosted by Barbara Hive account@barbara-orenya in the Feel Good Community: illustrate 6 words (or concepts) starting with the letter of the week.

This week we hunt the Letter "I": #AlphabetHunt letter I - and the winners of the lucky draw for the #H week.

Last year I have made a little photography experiment with water, oil and colored lights, and this photo was the only one which I liked enough to keep it and use the image in a post one day.

Of course, to somehow fit the image to the word Isolation I had to do a little photoshopping.

Last year we visited my niece and her family in Lower Austria. One day we have been to the city of Melk where I have noticed these old ivy overgrown houses.

Melk - Wikipedia

On a morning walk I saw this little yellow flower and inside the blossom I saw a sleeping beetle. Only at home on the big monitor I could see that at least 4 more little insects have chosen to spend the night in this blossom. That was reason enough for me to title the photo Insect Hotel.

Hive account@karishmasingh711 had the idea of ice when we were talking about the next letter we would have to hunt, which actually was the I, and I didn't forget about it 😉

These are just some snapshots from last Winter, which was cold, but not very icy nor did it snow a lot. So I really had to search for ice and icicles and take almost anything I found.

I have already posted a photo of this little Island in the Fog back in January this year, but since I had taken a few more shots I thought it would fit to the hunt for the I.

Have you ever seen such a tree trunk?

On my last forest walk I came across this tree and when I saw the black tree trunk under the tree bark I was really irritated. Somehow parts of the tree bark have been removed at the ground, what has revealed black wood.

Was it a lightning? I couldn't see any evidence for a lightning strike and what has removed the bark? I still have no idea.

Why I? Just because that's me, and if I have counted right it's even a bonus word. I know it's short, but it still ist a word, isn't it 😉

Of course, when @HiveBuzz announced the new HiveBuzz shop (https://peakd.com/hivebuzz/@hivebuzz/shop) I immediatelly had to order some of the shirts with the Hive logo.

After Hive account@pixelfan posted a selfie, wearing a Hive face mask (Well, I did it…) I thought I could do the same, with one difference though: I used a white Hive T-shirt as full face mask - can this still be called a selfie? But maybe it's better for your eyes if you don't see my face 😉 lol

T-shirt and Hoodie are both from the HiveBuzz shop. The Hoodie has a big Hive logo on the back, but there are many more designs available, and you can also wear the T-shirt as normal, of course 😉

Don't wait, have yourself a look at shop.hivebuzz.me.

All photos were shot with the Canon EOS R and one of these lenses: Canon RF 24-105mm f/4 L IS USM, Canon EF 70-200mm f/4 L IS II USM, Canon EF 16-35mm 1:4 L IS USM, Canon EF 50mm 1:1.8 L STM, SIGMA 105mm 1:2,8 DG MACRO HSM, SIGMA 150-600mm F5-6.3 DG OS HSM C.
