I have 5 Hive to give away to one Hive newbie

avatar

Answer this question: What does the easter full moon tomorrow (Thursday) have in common with me?
014.jpg

The first correct answer will get the prize of 5 Hive from me.

Now while you are contemplating the answer, I will show you some lovely sights to stimulate your ideas about the answer.
To be fair to all, there are a few of you that know the answer and you will not be considered for the prize. So please don't give the game away by placing the answer in the comments. I would love to give the prize to a correct newbie.

Many of us have a dream about a little cottage on a farm in the countryside.

Was that a snake that was attacking the Olive Thrush?

Nope, I took the photo above as the thrush dropped the worm.
Look how proud he was with his gift.

I have posted this pond with the duck statue before, but these are fresh photos.

It reminds me of the elusive peace and happiness that we all need so desperately in this life.

Sheer contentment that has no price and that is not of, or in, this world.
128.JPG

Can you believe that for the past 5 full moons I could not get one of them on camera, as the sky was overcast in cloud.
009.JPG

At midnight tonight when this bell used to be rung, yet another change in my life will occur.
(My wife tested the bell here).

As a hint, recently a friend @traciyork sent me 5 Hive for a competition that she hosted in 2022 and in a similar vein of giving, I would like to pay the 5 Hive forward.
So, if you can find out what the content of her competition was about, then you will have the answer to my question.
Thursday is falling on the eve of the Easter Weekend.

We are currently searching for a small cottage on a farm, far away from the maddening crowds and traffic noise, but something like such is very hard to find. Proverbially like a needle in a haystack, but sooner or later we will find something. Every time that we visit one of the farms, such as this one where I took the photos, it reminds me about the completeness in life that so many are searching for. It is called contentment.

Remember the question: What does the full moon on Thursday, the 6th of April (in South Africa) have in common with me?

I hope that you enjoyed the pictures and I also hope that someone will answer the question correctly.

Note: I repeat, those of you that know please don't give the game away.

And That's All Friends.

I dare say I am not a newbie anymore and I can't think of the answer anyhow, but this brought a question up for you:
I have been saving up some HBD because a while back I found a post saying I could give to charity, I think it might have been yours, by entering 1 HBD into a price draw.
Alas, I can't find that post so at the moment I have keep all my HBD.. 😄
I am sure you can help me on that one, though.. 😉

I know that you know that I know, so I don't say it, but you have given me a great tip what to do tonight when the full moon rises ... if I don't already sleep 😉

Yep, I knew that you know 😉 !LOLZ

Actually, this time I didn't sleep and took a few photos ... and before you ask I admit that it's fake: I took both images last night and the moon was excactly there above the tower, but the moon was too bright and so I later swapped it out for the other image in Photoshop.

I am glad that you know that I know what you know 😜 !LOLZ

So you got a few photos and so did I, before the clouds closed the sky.
I like your fake job and I know that you are an honest guy, but it is a very good effort 😉

Now here's one that is not a fake and it was my birthday gift, the sky was misty ahead of the clouds.

And then the clouds came in to spoil the show.

Cheers and thanks.

I like it when there are clouds around the moon and so I like the second image a bit more 😀 but both are cool.

The next morning I took the following photo - no fake this time 🤣 !LOLZ

About an hour too late with that moon shot, as earlier you would have got it right on the mountain.
Only joking as that is also a great photo mate 🤣 !LOLZ

Cheers and thanks.

You might not be a night photographer, but when the moon rises behind a mountain peak, it gives enough light for lovely photos. All that you need to do is to find a mountain where the moon rises behind it 🤣 !LOLZ

I think I have told you about the app I have - it tells you almost exactly where the moon or the sun will be to see at a certain time ... if they are not behind clouds 😉

You're right, I don't use it that much because usually I don't care about the weather ... if I'm lucky then I'm lucky and if the weather is bad I don't really mind 😂 !LOLZ

Good to have the apps then. I don't often plan, as I just go and many times I find totally unexpected things. So it's the same as you do and our best in any situation often delivers great rewards 😁 !LOLZ
I am just glad that you now got the van, as it will make things so much easier.

Good afternoon Hannes,

Oh! Okay and have you given your van a name yet? As I am sure that you talk to it 😊 !LOLZ

They way I know our luck, there will be a dark cloud instead of a sunrise 😉
Something like this.

I took the photo this morning.

Cheers and thanks.

Good evening Zac,

well, I have thought of a name for the van, but haven't found one yet - I just call it "Caddy" 😁 !LOLZ

I would have loved to see such an awesome dramatic cloud this weekend, but unfortunately we have had very beautiful Spring weather yesterday and today we have had a bit chilly wind, but all in all it was quite nice too.
Yesterday morning it was cloudless, but thick mist covered the reservoir partly and I loved it.

Hope your weekend was amazing, my friend 🌞

This rang true to me through one piece learned many years ago, hope you enjoy it.

No man is an island, entire of itself;
every man is a piece of the continent, a part of the main;
if a clod be washed away by the sea, Europe is the less, as well as if a promontory were, as well as if a manor of thy friend’s or of thine own were;
any man’s death diminishes me, because I am involved in mankind, and therefore never send to know for whom the bell tolls;
it tolls for thee.
by John Donne (1572-1631)

Easter weekend approaches with joy and trepidation, stay well and thanks for sharing the up-coming Pink Moon.

I thank you, and yes I did enjoy it as we are all a part of the whole.
One person's loss is our loss, and one person's joy is our joy.

The Pink Moon will rise tomorrow night, Thursday, and lets hope that the clouds will stay away.
I presume with trepidation, you mean all the deaths again?

Thank you Lady Joan and we also wish you guys a great Easter Weekend.
Rain most of the morning and I was lucky to get an almost clear (hazy) full moon last night. Just before the clouds arrived to close the show down.
Had some fun with our 3 new young squirrels in the rain early this morning.

Full moon we had a couple of clouds dancing across the sky then it cleared giving great views in all her glory.

Gardens are always busy once you sit long enough to see the visitors come and go, glad you have squirrels once again.

I will not try and guess, but I do love the pictures of the pond and duck statue. It would be a place I would love to sit and read, or even take a nap on a nice sunny day.

Аs a special guest star🤩, I just have to guess!
Hopefully, like a good guessing contest, I have three attempts?
So, @papilloncharity, let's try!

  • you have completed the project or preparation for it, and now, like the full moon, which was gaining strength in growth, you are now ready to exhale and return from the project
  • you, like the full moon, are full of emotions and feelings that overwhelm you
  • perhaps you are bald and when you smile, your face is rounded like the moon🙃

Your photos started my day with joy and added good mood!

Thank you for invitation @qwerrie! It's worth
it!

I wish good luck to all participants!

Thank you for the entry and I think that you have a wonderful imagination. I especially liked your third option as it is so funny and it shows your humor 😜 !LOLZ
I also think that you know that none of your options were correct but take heart as at least you tried.

So I appreciate your efforts and it deserves a !PIZZA
