Cheating the O - AlphabetHunt

avatar

At first I thought the letter O would be an easy one, but I was wrong and so I had to cheat a little bit ...

Cheating the O
#AlphabetHunt
Hive AlphabetHunt - Letter O

Last week we have been hunting the letter N in the #AlphabetHunt Challenge hosted by the great and so very talented Barbara @barbara-orenya in the Feel Good Community: illustrate 6 words (or concepts) starting with the letter of the week.

This week we hunt the next letter in the Alphabet, which is the Letter "O". If you want to know more about this cool challenge and how to participate, click here: #AlphabetHunt letter O - And a summer break for the challenge.

I am happy, because I was drawn as one of the winners of the N hunt, and I want to congratulate my co-winners @nelinoeva, @missagora, @isabelpena and @elizacheng 😊

Now, let's start with the first word I have found on my hunt:

Oenothera - Evening Primrose

This nice loking yellow Oenothera flower is also known as Evening Primrose, Suncups or Sundrops.
On the first photo I have tried one of my selfmade macro backgrounds for the first time (cheat #1).

Hive AlphabetHunt Oenothera - Evening Primrose

I took one of my photos, blurred it in Photoshop and printed the image on paper. I thought, if the background of a flower is messy and distracting I would use one of these prints and hold it behind the flower to make the background look better. I don't think I'll do it often though and I need to print them on other paper again, because here you can clearly see that it's a print.

Ochlodes Sylvanus - Large Skipper

During one of my latest walks at the reservoir I have seen and photographed quite a few butterflies, and besides this Large Skipper there's also a Small Skipper which I might show you in a later #AlphabetHunt post.

Old and Young

Obviously, the title is not the flower's name, but it's the phrase I thought of when I saw these flowers: Old and Young.
If I'm ot completely wrong, the name of the flowers is Trollius europaeus or Globeflower (German: Troll flower).

Hive AlphabetHunt Old and Young

The flowers grew in my parent's garden. Because the background wasn't very pleasing with wooden boards and garden tools, I took two big leaves from another plant, positioned them behind the flowers and blurred them in Photoshop (cheat #2).

AlphabetHunt

Orchid - Neottia Nidus-Avis, Bird's-Nest Orchid

This quite unimpressive flower is actually an orchid. I found it in the middle of the path in the forest behind my parent's house.

@faltermann has made an interesting post with much better photos about this flower about two months ago and unfortunatelly I had forgotten that its blossoms smell like honey, but when I see it next time I will smell it.

The name Bird's-Nest Orchid comes from the bird's-nest-like shape of the roots.

Hive AlphabetHunt Orchid - Neottia Nidus-Avis, the Birds-Nest Orchid

This was another photo with a very messy background and I needed the help of Photoshop to clean up a bit (cheat #3).

Orchis militaris - the Military Orchid

When I saw this beautiful little orchid and googled for it's name I have read that it's very rare, but I can tell you I know an area where they bloom in large numbers.

Oh, the Bee is dead

Now, if you think I have already cheated above by using other backgrounds and Photoshop, then you should know that the fourth and real cheat I was talking about in the beginning is this one.

I haven't found a sixth O word with a suitable photo, but for my own salvation I can tell you that this is what I really thought when I encountered the Bee on the spider thread: Oh, it's dead. The Oh is no real word, so I think it's cheated at least a little bit 😉

Hive AlphabetHunt Oh, its a dead Bee

It was a bit windy on the day when I saw this sadly dead bee which was hanging on a spider thread and it was not easy to get reasonable sharp photos from the swinging bee.

Hive AlphabetHunt Oh, its a dead Bee

A few little flies have already found the bee and I hope they left enough for the spider, which I couldn't find in the near.

Hive AlphabetHunt Oh, its a dead Bee

So, I hope you don't mind my little cheating and also not the photos, because nobody likes to see dead things.

AlphabetHunt

Well, that was it from me for this week, my hunt for the O is over and now I'm looking forward to see the results of your successful hunts.

After the O the #AlphabetHunt will take a Summer break until the end of August - on Thursday, August 27 it starts again with the letter P.
I will also slow down for the next weeks and hope you don't mind when I don't comment or reply late.

Information

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.

I leave all EXIF and IPTC information stored in the pictures.

Hello @deerjay,
thank you so much for your nice words which made my evening happy and I don't mind the heat that much anymore 😊

I was so glad that some photos of the butterfly became quite sharp just as the dead bee, because it was windy that morning and many of the photos I took turned out very blurred.

Thank you also very much for the rehive and for the !tip 🤗

Hahaha ! you have so creatively cheated ! I love that 😁
It made me laugh that you make us think you have cheated with photoshop (I thought, oh well, this is no cheat...) and in fact the real hankey-pankey is the last one 😄 (yes this one was a wonderful attempt of fraud, well done, indeed ! 😂)

Joke apart, your photos are wonderful and I want to thank you to be playing with us since all these weeks, and I know you post less these last time and knowing that the few you post are those of the alphabethunt, well I really appreciate that you enjoy doing it...I also think that this summer break then comes handy for a lot of us, we need some rest and come back fresh and motivated,
so I wish you wonderful trips with your motorcycle in your beautiful landscapes and coming back with your magnificent captures !

Good morning Barbara,

thank you so very much for your overall nice comment, I really appreciate your kind words 🤗

You are right, at the moment I'm only posting for the #AlphabetHunt and I have no idea what to do in the next weeks 😉 lol
Seriously, I am glad you have made that break, because in the next weeks it would have been hard for me to make such posts - I'll be much on the roads and with my family.

Again, I thank you very much for your good wishes and I hope you have also wonderful, joyful holidays with much fun 😊

Thank you very much, my family is fine and the only good thing about our hot weather is, that I can go and ride my motorbike without the fear of getting wet, although sometimes it it even too hot to ride ;)

I will slow down a bit in the next weeks and I think I'll do my next longer post with the letter "P" at the end of August, and maybe a few smaller ones in between ... I can't shut the computer or Hive completely off I think 🤣

I wish you also a very nice Summer with your family and let's hope the world gets somehow "normal" again.

First of all, it's a very great idea that you did your post of "cheating the O" for the AlphabetHunt.

Then I would like to start my comment with the words....."Oh WOW".....

The Oenothera is gorgeous with bright yellow color and it looks refreshing with the raindrops.

The butterfly is magnificent.

Good finding for the "Old and Young" flowers. They are very cute!

The Bird's-Nest Orchid has amazing shape.

The Military Orchid is beautiful with lovely color.

Oh! It's so sad to see that the "bee" is dead..... In the meantime, I love the "white" flower in the background.

Excellent photoshop and great capture! ;)

The bee is dead, that's very sad, but that's nature and as you I didn't like to see the dead bee, but in combination with the flower in the background it looked better to me :)

Thank you very much again for your comment and kind compliments, @tangmo, have a great day and a wonderful weekend ☀️

Oh your choices are wonderful Johann. I don’t think you cheated one bit with all the work with experiments For the backgrounds.😊

Orchis militaris Is indeed a beauty as are the other flowers. Lovely photos of the large skipper.

It’s always sad to see a dead bee as they are so beneficial to our ecosystem. I would have also said, Oh my, it’s dead.”

I enjoyed all your creativity and selections dearJohann. 💞

Oh thank you so much, dear Jo, for the tip and for the rehive and for your nice compliments 🤗

Sometimes I'm lucky to find nice flowers or insects, such as the ones in this post :)

Seeing a dead bee is sad, especially like on this photo, but that's life. I wonder if a bee would also say "Oh my, it's dead." if she'd see a person laying dead on the ground. A fly would certainly say "Yummy" 🤣

Again, I wish you a wonderful weekend, dear Jo 😊
I hope the weather turns a bit cooler, although in a few months we will be hoping again for some Summer heat 😉

Most welcome @johannpiber. Your posts are always a delight and I always look forward to seeing them.

As I mentioned in another reply to you, Peppy has returned. I’m so happy he is okay but I have to wonder what happened to him for the last two weeks. He’s pretty close mouthed -I don’t think I’ll find out anything from him. 😆He was here late last night and must be sleeping this morning.

Yes, it will be winter soon enough Johann and we will wish for some of this heat.

Have a great weekend dear Johann and perhaps a nice ride on the HD.😊

But if he tells you he visited his mom, don't believe him 😁

I have had a two hours ride today - it was nice, but much too hot, so I have sweat even while I was riding.

May your weekend be nice and not too hot, dear Jo 😊

Pleasure Hannes,

Nowadays people are quick to jump with nasty comments to others when they type or do something that the people don't like.
To me, everyone has the right to say and do whatever pleases them.
I often see some with sniping tongues on here and they are either bitter people, or know alls.

What can one gain by constantly trying to blow the candles of others out?
Darkness for all while only the own candle burns?

They say that what one hates or detest in others, is in fact within the self!
Gentleness and kindness costs nothing, but it can help to improve the self and others.

Cheers and thanks!

For some people it's easier to be rude or nasty, to be kind can be hard for some, especially if you don't feel like being kind. In such cases I just say nothing or use neutral words.

As I said in another comment, the lawn of the neighbor is always greener (especially when I water it with !BEER ;) and for the jealous or envy people it's easier to destroy the neighbor's lawn than to try to have the same beautiful grass on their own lawn.

So true what you are saying and I also choose the silent option.
Exactly what you are saying here, to destroy another soul, because one's own soul is littered with rocks in the grass.
Taming the tongue is a great excercise that leads to wisdom, as it opens the ears to hear.

The most interesting photo for me is the name of the flower Orchid 😁
I saw him for the first time maybe a month ago in the woods. It seemed strange to me, the shape of the flower reminded me a bit of a chestnut flower ..🤔. And of course I had no idea what it was called ... thanks for the information😊
And Oh, it may not be the right word but it is still used often😉

you cheated indeed! all those weird Latin names starting from 'O'...
we search for the English words, not a Latin ones :)

Large Skipper means L and not O, hehe. (by the way -- this was the 1st butterfly willing me to pose in the best way this season, and getting me some good macro shots. havent shared them yet. just wanted to say an extra thank you! - for the butterfly's iD).

blurring background in Photoshop is not a heat at all, imo.. and i dont see those backgrounds are printed at all. but didnt you consider to use just a monotone olour/tinted paper? (some pastel ones will work best, imo).

I love your orchids pickup and illustration very much. In the 'Oh bee is dead' I didnt like the 'O' part but like the pictures -- i totally imagine how hard it was getting sharm captures of such a plot at a windy day!

let me grant you with a little !BEER prize... and see you at letter 'P' !

Well, my dear friend, if the official Wikipedia page of a flower or an insect says the latin name in the title or in the first sentence it is enough for me - I wouldn't call that cheating, but something like "avoiding stress and headaches caused by too intensive search for English O's" ... or so 😂 lol

Maybe I can see the printed background because I know it 😉 I'll print them on a better paper when I have some spare time. These prints are only made at work on a laser printer.

Thank you so much that you love my orchids and the bee, although the "O" part 😉 The light was bright and I was lucky that the wind stopped for a few moments every now and then 😀

Thanks a lot for the !BEER @qwerrie - see you at the P and I wish you a great week 🤗
