Hive AlphabetHunt - Letter G

Now, let's begin with the first photo of a sleepy Grasshopper...

Great Green Bush Cricket

Of course, you may call this little guy a Grasshopper, but it is the Nymph of a Great Green Bush Cricket - Tettigonia viridissima.

A few weeks ago I was on a morning walk at the reservoir when I spotted this little grasshopper on the still closed dandelion blossom. The grasshopper was just about to wake up, but didn't move so that I could get a decent sharp macro shot it.

Green Flower Garden

I thought today I could share some snapshots from my parents' Garden with you. It is more a lawn with some flower areas, but there's also a little Greenhouse with tomatoes and a small garden with zucchini,cucumbers, currants and a few more vegetables and fruits.

This cabin has grown from a tiny Garden shed to a little house over the past 30 years or so.

Goldhaube

In the beginning of January this year I drove over the Soboth Pass in the east of Carinthia, at border to our neighbor state Styria, where Arnold Schwarzenegger is at home. Still in Carinthia I stopped at a viewpoint, from which I saw a part of the Austrian Air defense system, the Goldhaube Radar System on the Speikkogel mountain.

The snow was illuminated beautifully pink by the morning sun and so I thought I could try my 150-600mm Sigma Supertelezoom lens. It was a bit windy and still too dark, but I'm happy with the photos, because the distance to these buildings was about 15 kilometers (9.3 miles) as the crow flies.

Castle Griffen

On the same morning when I took the above photos I drove on a different road back home and so I could take some photos of the Castle ruin Griffen in the village of the same name.

The Great Soča Gorge

I haven't posted any photos of the beautiful emerald green Soča river in Slovenia for quite a while, and I still haven't been there since the borders are open again. So I had to search for some photos of the Great Soča Gorge, which I haven't posted before.

I took these photos in November 2019 after a few rainy days. If it had rained more there would have been more little streams flowing and falling into the river from both sides of the gorge.

New Green Growth

Finally the word Growth came into my mind and I remembered the following two photos.

I have taken the first photo a few weeks ago at the Drau reservoir and I have no idea what the name of this plant is, but these fresh leaves looked quite interesting to me.

I wanted to make a focus stacked image, but at home it turned out that I had taken too less photos or didn't seem to have captured all of the focus levels. Below you can see the result with quite a few blurry areas.

On my forest walk last weekend I have seen this little baby tree which has grown on a rotten and mossy tree trunk. Of course, I photographed it, because you never know when you might need a photo of a little tree 😉

So, that was it for today - 6 words starting with G and I am fully aware, that the word Green dominates my post, but I do hope you like my photos anyway 😊

Thank you so much, Neli, this little Grasshopper was pure luck, because at first I just wanted to photograph the dandelion like I took such a photo of a closed blossom before, and then I saw this little green guy sleeping there. I didn't wake him up and just took a few photos 😉

You can see these buildings from almost everywhere in the valley, because they are really huge, but on that day the mountain and the snow have been lit so nicely in pink and I had my long lens with me 🙂

Thanks again for your nice comment, Neli, have a very nice Sunday evening 🙂

This is an impressive collection of beautiful captures @johannpiber !

Usually the whole garden is full of flowers, and I am glad that my father leaves a big part of it as it is.
There are many insects, bees and butterflies and I could spend the whole day there with my macro lens on the camera 🙂

Have a very nice evening 🙂

I can see why you like to visit Slovenia Johann. The beautiful emerald “green Soča river”is a wonder and I love it.💞

Castles are always an interest and the Goldhaube Radar System is a great shot. I wouldn’t have believed you could capture it from that distance. Great shot!

Neat capture of the Green Bush Cricket. They jump around so much they are hard to photograph.

Your parents property with garden shed and the field of beautiful flowers is lovely. 🌻 It’s nice they have a small garden to enjoy fresh produce. A beautiful spot with the mountains and waterfall nearby.

I have to smile at your cute little tree because I also took a photo of one about the same size and thought I might used it sometime in a post.

Great selections Johann! Have a great evening.😊

Yes, this river is really beautiful and it is so very clear and clean that you certainly can drink the water.

I have been surprised too, that the images of these buildings have been so nice. I had thought they woul dbe much more blurry.

I didn't see this grasshopper at first, but when I looked through the viewfinder I saw it and changed my mind from photographing the blossom to take a photo of the sleeping grasshopper ;)

Their house is accross the street and there is a bigger garden with salad and vegetables and... my mom needs always something to do ;)

Cool, I wonder when you will use your small tree. I think there are a lot of letters left, so that we should take photos of everything we see. When I took this photo I thought of using it when we search for the L (little) or N (new) or so ;)

Have a nice and hopefully dry afternoon and a good night, Jo 🙂

Good morning Jo,

You have a great week too 🙂

It’s still raining here this morning and I don’t think it will let up today. You will be busy in the office and know it’s not good for biking.

The only excitement here last night was when I went outside to bring in the Hummingbird feeder ( new one) from the deck post the skunk was near the steps checking the ground. He took off running towards the forest when he saw me. Sometimes they will raise their tail to warn you before they spray. If he did that I would have backed up into the house.😭

Have a wonderful week. 😊

Hi Jo,

I'm at home now and the rain has stopped, but not for long I think, because our weathermen say that I wouldn't see much sun this week...


I don't want to believe them, but sometimes they are right. Do you want to know what's funny about this image? I'm working on Friday and I can't take the day off 😂

Hihi, that's nice of the skunks when they warn you before they spray, and I believe you that you would have run if he did 😉

So you have bought one more Hummingbird feeder? You should now take more care of it and don't forget to take it into the house over night that the racoon cannot destroy this one too. This bad boy destroys a lot of money 😆

Because I had also a look at your weather forecast I can wish you a nice week, Jo 🙂

Thanks Johann. I believe tomorrow will be nicer than today without all the rain.💦 You temperatures are good. Sorry you have to work on Friday with the nice forecast.

Skunks will sometimes stamp their feet to warn you but once they raise their tail -look out!

I’m not really afraid of this skunk for he has been around of awhile and knows I live here...I hope!🤪

Yes, the rascal raccoon is causing an expense if I don’t bring in the hummingbird feeder at night. I’ve been doing it faithfully since he broke the last one. I have to buy a good one as the cheap ones leak.

Have a good night. 😊

Good morning Jo,

it is still raining here, but at least one of us two might have a nice day today 🙂

That's too funny thinking that people are afraid of some stink - I have never smelled a skunk and you have told me it smells somehow like weed. Can it be worse than an old billy goat? That's the worst animal smell I know, apart from old fish ;)
But the skunk knows you and will warn you early enough if you come too close.

Maybe you should let the skunk spray on the Hummingbird feeder to stop the raccoon from destroying it ... if the Hummingbirds don't mind the smell, of course 😉

Hopefully you were right and you have a good day with nice weather 🙂

Good afternoon Johann. After a cool night the sun is breaking through this morning. Maybe another cold night with possible frost as there is a tropical storm (Cristobal) coming up from the States through the middle of Canada and pushing cold air down our way from the north.

Johann, I may have minimized the odour given off when a skunk sprays. A full -on spray would linger for a week and smell like rotten egg gas because of the sulphur in it.. Sometimes skunks just let a little go as a warning and that is not too bad and more like someone is growing marijuana.
Normally if a skunk has been killed on the road the smell is more like weed after a few days.

I know too much about these skunks.😂 I had a dog once that got sprayed and the remedy then was to bath him in tomato juice . What a mess. It did take some of the smell but he still stunk for a week.

I hope your day is going smoothly.😊

Good afternoon Jo,

hopefully it will not get too frosty for the animals and hummingbirds.
In the afternoon the rain stopped here and maybe tomorrow will be most of the day dra, but I'll see it when I get up at 5 :)

OK, now I understand, why people are so scared about skunks, because I don't hate anything more than rotten eggs. I could live with the smell of weed, but rotten eggs? I would run! 😂
I have just imagined your dog bathing in tomato juice 😆😂

Have a great afternoon, Jo.

In elementary school, we have been about 20-25 children in class, from the 6 year old beginners to the 10 year old all in one room. We had one teacher only. While the teacher was teaching a class, the older students were teaching the younger. Believe me, that way we learned much more than the children in ordinary schools.
When I changed to a secondary school I could only laugh at other children when they used calculators. Short time later I got my own calculator and laziness began 😂

So, you have a lot to do, but you still find some time for your beloved mushrooms, that's good, my friend. I'll have a look at your post today. I don't think I'll be able to do a post today, but maybe I can find some spare time, but I'm not sure if I can find a mushroom in the office ;) lol

Have a great day and a wonderful weekend, but not too much stress with packing and moving to your Summer Residence 🙂

Because of Covid-19 most of our grass patches are not mowed too. And we are seeing some weeds and flowers we don't usually see. There are also more grasshoppers, dragonflies and butterflies. A very nice change from the usual scenery.

Wishing you a great week ahead too, Johann. Cheers!

As always, great photos. But most of all, I’ve been hooked on your parents ’garden with wildflowers. Maybe your parents keep beehives?
I think I could be one of the bees :)

Good morning and thank you very much for your kind comment, @bambuka 🙂

No, my parents don't have bees, but their neighbor has a few beehives right next to the fence between the properties, and there are always quite a few of them flying around😉

It's so bright green ... Everything is great ... but the Green Growth unreal green ... and the river Soča is beautiful. Great choice of words....

Yes, the spring has finally arrived and after some rainfalls all turned green 🙂

Good morning @suzana72 and thank you so much for your kind words. Soon there will be new photos of the Soča river and other of my favorite places in Slovenia 🙂

I grew up there and of all the beautiful places I know, this is my favorite place to live 🙂
I love that green river and now that our borders to Slovenia are open again I'm only waiting for better weather to drive there 🙂

Thank you very much for your nice compliments, @gingbabida, I appreciate your kind words a lot 🙂
Have a great day and take care.

Wow! You grew up in such a beautiful environment! 😍 Envy is sprouting in my heart! Hahaha! 😍

I think I have to put Slovenia in my bucket list of places to visit.

Thank you, and take care too.

Slovenia is a beautiful little country south of Austria and it is certainly a place worth a visit.
Thank you very much, @gingbabida, I have seen some images of the Philippines which make me think of the word "envy" too 😉

Yes, Slovenia is a place that is a stark contrast with the tropics. I think it would feel completely like a different world! When this COVID thingy is over, I really hope we could travel again.

I believe seeing and enjoying from time to time a world different from our own is beneficial. There is beauty in variety, right? 😍

That's true what you are saying, @gingbabida, beauty is everywhere and the variety of the different regions of our world makes places for me beautiful which might be just ordinary everyday views for you 😉

Yes, exactly!!! Hahaha! 😍 And sometimes, because it is so ordinary to us, we seemed to neglect it, and then when a visitor comes and appreciate it, we will be reminded again to appreciate what we have. 😊😊

Right, I didn't see the beauty of my home until I moved from the countryside into the city.
And if I didn't photograph I think I wouldn't care that much about the lake which I see every single day, but tens of thousands tourists pay for this view every year.

Thank you, they really care a lot for this place and it looks always quite nice 🙂

I think the time for the G-posts is over, because the weekly challenge goes always until Wednesday 10pm UTC (https://peakd.com/hive-190931/@barbara-orenya/alphabethunt-letter-g-and-the-winners-of-the-draw-for-the-f-week-eng-fr), but I think we will also have a look at the later entries 😉

Have a great day, @bigsambucca 🙂
