Lily and the Layers - AlphabetHunt

avatar

This fun challenge makes me do things I have never done before ... so, this week I was searching for a Lamb. You want to know why? Well, because Lamb begins with the letter L, but just read on ...

Lily and some more L's
#AlphabetHunt
Hive AlphabetHunt - Letter L

Last week we have been hunting the letter K in the #AlphabetHunt Challenge hosted by great 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 "L": #AlphabetHunt letter L - and Who are the winners of the lucky draw for the #K week..? - I was one of the lucky winners, thank you so much Barbara 😁

Of course, I have found some Lambs, but I didn't photograph them, because I was searching for a white Lamb and all I found were black or dark brown 😉 I should have taken some photos of them anyway, because when I saw the cute black Lambs of @redheadpei "Looking For Letter L" I immediately regretted not having done it.

Lily of the Valley

A few weeks ago I have been on a walk at the reservoir and have seen a few of these nice little flowers and took a few quick macros. The final image consists of 7 focus stacked photos.

Lycaenidae Butterflies

The day before I have photographed the Lily of the Valley above I have seen these two butterflies in a meadow on my way home from the reservoir. It has still been very early in the morning, so that I could take a few handheld shots in the morning sun.

Hive AlphabetHunt Lycaenidae

Unfortunately there are very many kinds of Lycaenidae and I couldn't find the exact name of these two little ones.

Lepena Valley

I have visited this small but beautiful valley in Slovenia quite often before the crisis began and I have been there last week once again. This is a mix of some photos I took last Autumn and Winter.

From the Lepena Valley you can hike up to the Lake Krn (Krnsko jezero) which I have photographed last year too. It is a nice hike of about 2.5 hours through an old grown forest.

Of course sometimes I also find a Mushroom for the #FungiLovers like @qwerrie 😉

Lygaeidae

Lygaeidae are also known as Milkweed Bugs or Seed Bugs. As with the butterflies I couldn't find the exact kind of this little guy, which has tried to hide from me and my camera.

Lake Linsendorf & Lake Bohinj

The Lake Linsendorf (Linsendorfer See) is actually a widened branch of the Drau river, which flows nearby. In January I was lucky to be there early on a foggy morning when the trees have been white from hoarfrost and cormorants had a rest on the trees and were swimming in the calm lake.

Later this year, in February I have been at the Lake Bohinj in Slovenia to photograph the Sunrise, but I think this frosty scene on the opposite site has been quite beautiful too.

Lesachtal & Lienz Dolomites

Last weekend I have visited my parents, but before I got there I have been riding over 3 mountain passes on my motorbike and through a view valleys. One of the valleys was the "Lesachtal" which is a beautiful rural valley which reaches from East Tyrol to Carinthia. I rode it the other wa round from Carinthia to East Tyrol.

From East Tyrol I rode back to Carinthia, but not directly to my parents, because I haven't been tired enough and so I rode over the Iselsberg Pass from where I took these photos of the Lienz Dolomites.

So, this would have been my "L" post for this week's AlphabetHunt. I hope you enjoyed it a bit but it's not over yet, because there's one more photo 😊

Layers of Mountains at Sunset

Two days ago I wanted to open and finalize my L post on which I have been working every day for a few minutes. But it was gone - all that was left was the dummy title (LLL) I had given the draft and a few L keywords which I have written last weekend. I don't know why that happened and I have been very upset.
So I went for a ride on my motorbike instead of beginning the post from scratch. The sunset I was hoping to see on the mountain near the Sun Village of Diex was very short and over before it began, because of a bank of dark clouds. But I was able to take a few images in the Golden Hour before sunset and this image of mountain Layers was one of these.

Hive AlphabetHunt Layers of Mountains at Sunset

You might have noticed that many of the photos I showed today look quite familiar. To be honest, I took advantage of this week's letter to get rid of some of my older photos. So, if you think you have seen some of them before then you have seen other photos of the same day.

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.


If you like my photos I would appreciate an upvote, nice comment or maybe you want to share my post on your blog 😊 ... and maybe you would like to follow me, so that you never miss a post from me.

Thank you so much for visiting my blog,
have a nice evening and a great weekend,

Wow! Johann, you captured beautiful images. Lily of the valley is one of my favorites and there are some growing here but I never thought of them for L.

The Lycaenidae Butterflies resting on a ribbon of grass and the valleys and Dolomites are gorgeous. Your countryside is so lovely and peaceful.

I love your selections. sorry you had to redo them but well worth the effort. ;)

Thanks for the mention :) You never needed the lambs as you post overflows with delightful images.

Thank you so much for your kind words, Jo, and for the goodies 😁

Our country is different from your beautiful island and I don't see many of the nice things here anymore that foreigners see, but yes, I love it and I love to share my best views with you 🙂
But it was not very peaceful, at least not that day on the road: many motorbikes have been roaring through the small valley and some Porsche fans had a meeting and they were driving like mad.
There have been many of these little flowers and I have no idea why I didn't take more than this one photo.

Good afternoon Johann. 😊 I had to chuckle when I saw your mushroom. I thought, “He has already started on the letter M.” 😄

I will have to go into the edge of the forest and see the Lily of the Valley. It should be in bloom here now.

The roads are quite busy here in the summertime although I don’t think there will be many tourists like other years.

A nice rain fell last night and cooled things down. Today is supposed to be in high 20s.

I hope you are having a wonderful day Johann and are enjoying the Lil’Pete and Onyx.😻

Well, I have started the letter M just a few minutes ago, but as usual only a draft with M words, but this time I'll make a backup on my Computer 😁

Good morning Jo,
thanks a lot for the Mushroom hint 😉

It rained until late in the evening and this morning was quite cold. Now we have about 20C but the sun is hidden behind many clouds. Maybe it will rain again later.

There are not as much foreign tourists here, but many more Austrian than usual. That's good, but since they don't care our numbers are increasing slightly. So, since yesterday we have to wear masks again.
People will never learn and forget too fast. The first wave isn't even over yet.

The two Boys are eating, playing, fighting and at the moment they are sleeping. I couldn't take many photos yet, but that's Onyx

and Lil'Pete

Thanks Johann for the photos of the kittens. 😻 They are adorable and will give so much pleasure. Lil Pete is same orange color as Red.

Welcome for the mushroom hint. 😉 Maybe we will both have that one for M. 😀 I saw some growing on the lawn after the rain and took a photo.

It near 30C here today. The air conditioner has kept the house liveable.

Have a lovely night Johann.😊

Good morning Jo,

I thought so that Pete looks about the same as your Red.

I don't know if I'll post a mushroom because I have to find one and take a photo first ;)

We won't reach the 30C this week if you can believe the weather forecast. It is still cool from the rainy Saturday, but the weather is very nice 🙂

I hope you have a great week and the temperatures will be comfortable for you 🙂

Good morning Johann. I woke up to a nice morning of 20C. There’s a cool breeze but it may be quite a bit hotter before the day is over.

Pete looks a lot like Red when he was little. Now Red looks more like a Maine Coon with the longer fur.

I’ve got a few ideas for the Ms and started a draft. I’m careful after what happened to yours.

Have a wonderful week Johann and thanks for the goodies. 😊

Good morning Jo,

it seems you have about the same weather as we have - it's not hot, but very nice outside.

I have a few M's in mind, started a draft and hope I can finish it in one go this time 😉

Good evening Johann, it got up to 30C today but a nice breeze now. It’s going to be much cooler the next few days with showers ...if the weatherman is right.😉

I haven’t seen Peppy today. He does have a big fur coat and probably found a cool spot.

My sister wants us to come to her cottage. She and her hubby were finally able to go there without the quarantine for 14 days. I’m not sure when we will. It’s a 5-6 hr drive. The borders are open between the 3 Maritime provinces but still a few virus cases popping up.

I hope your Pete and Onyx are settling in nicely.🐱🐱

Have a good night Johann.😊

Good morning Jo,

it wasn't hot yesterday and our weatherman says about the same - we will have a few rainy days, but the weekend should be sunny again ☀️

Yes, Peppy will certainly know a few places where it stays cool enough during the hot days 😉

A journey to your sister would certainly be great after so many weeks staying at home, but just avoid places where many people are and keep distance to other people. Here we have to wear masks again on many places because people didn't care anymore, but I think I have already told that ;)

Well, Pete and Onyx are still sleeping, fighting and eating all day long, but they are healthy says the vet and we have a lot of fun with them 😁

Wish a you a nice and cool day and take care, Jo 🙂

Hi Johann. Our weather has really cooled down for today but will warm up in a couple days.

We are going to my sister tomorrow. I won’t be on hive for a few days until I come back to the Island. I may be late posting my M s this time. 😆

Sounds like you and your family are enjoying the sweet little kittens.

Take care and have a good rest of the week Johann.😊

First of all, congratulation to you on the winner of the #K week!

And I think you would certainly win again for the #L week because this post is full of beautiful photos and I love all of them.

The most attractive ones for me are the white flowers. They are really gorgeous!

The valley is beautiful; the mountains and huge clouds create wonderful scenery.

The butterflies and the bug are magnificent.

The lake with the frosty scene is fascinating and it looks peaceful.

The "layers of mountains at sunset" in the last photo are very amazing.

Great capture! ;)

I am so glad that the winners of this challenge are drawn, because it should be a fun challenge, and I think it would be not even half fun if I had to think what images I need to win.

This way everybody can show something about their country and life without the need to post a winner photo 😉

Such beauty in the photos here Sir @johannpiber~!
Your photos all talk to me.
The first one has 6 little flowers and my number is 6.
Over here we call your butterflies "Spotted Hairtails", but there are so many species that it will make your head spin.
The blue one is always the male!

The lakes and mountainsides are out of this world and the flowers give such color to that sunny mountain layers shot.

Well done mate and good luck in the challenge!

Glad that my comment placed you in a good mood Sir Johann.
At times I also find it a struggle to find one of the many species in a group of Papillon's (butterflies).
But at times I strike a luck where there is just one of such as with the "Charaxes"

Thank you also for the nice comment my friend!

And I really like the choice of the letter L ... 🤗 There are a few similarities with mine, although I posted it first and then looked at your post. The butterfly is my favorite picture. 🤗
Although all the photos are too good.

Right, insect photography is best in the morning when it's still cool and the little things have not warmed up yet. They don't move or fly and are easier to photograph.

@suzana72, thats actually a good advise from one of a masters of macro photography here on Hive: get up at 5 oclock in the morning when all the insects are cold-blooded and thus retarded and slow, even not slow but motionless! and you can approach them and do what you want, you'll have a time for tripod, rails, focus stacking... of course if you will find someone! biodivercity in my area is not that great like you have in Serbia, so personally, I get up early in the morning to find nobody around :))
PS. cold weather also can help.

all the best!

Arrived to enjoy gorgeous photography, most definitely you are not one to let me down. What lovely words with descriptive content to tell the story in letter "L".

Lily of the valley such a beautiful gentle flower, Lycaenidae showing splendour in nature of smaller butterflies on wing, lovely dusty colours too. Milkweed bugs not so familiar in name but similar to looks with some of our longer nosed bugs over here.

Landscapes, each one to languish over in enjoyment, your countryside is so different, lush and green.

Have a great day and thanks for sharing, one never gets enough of the outdoors and beauty within each capture.

I love such mountain layers in the evening or at sunrise, and up on this mountain I almost always see such 😀
There have been so many of the Lilies, and I can no tremember why I didn't take more photos than only one 😉

I look back at so many of the things I have seen and the places I have been and wonder why I didn't take more than one photo! And so often I was at some of the most beautiful places in the world and I took one photo while I was there. It's just sad!
I often think it must be because I began taking photos with film, but you would think I would have gotten beyond those limitations as soon as I got my first digital camera!

Hope you have a great week... Oh and I love seeing your name up there on the @ecency Leaderboard! Check your wallet.. I sending you some ESTM Points! ❤️

The one thing that I am really looking forward to having again is the ability to copy and paste from someone else's post. That did not work on the last release and it caused me to lose being able to translate comments and posts while in the app.

I know they have been working on doing more with communities.

I don't use a PC anymore and have a Chromebook, so everything I do is web based and since the new upgrade is web based I will be able to access @ecency from my Chromebook! I'm very excited about that!

Yes, I have noticed this too and it would be a nice idea if it would work.
I will try the posting function once more this week. I don't like the markup language and prefer HTML, but the App doesn't show all tags correct it seems and tables are gray for example. Maybe I just have to get used of it ;)

I have never tried a Chromebook - it sounds nice, but sometimes I need to do something although I have no Internet access, but that's not possible I think, because the OS and everything is web based.

Have a great day @melinda010100 🙂

wow, my comment will be #362! damn, hard to scroll. now I understand why you post less and less recently. you probably spend more and more time on reading and answering all the comments left by your admireres. heh. unfortunately I am one of them, and tho I value your time very much, I'll bite my little piece off it too.

first things first, right? so, !BEER will go first

secondly -- thanks for a mushroom part. it was refreshing and surprising to see someone on the Hive cares about it. in fact, it always is! snow on the moss, mushrooms, nice bokeh -- you combined everything in one shot to please me. thanks for that!! I dont find too much mushrooms, just one or two here and there pop up, and I am lucky sometimes to notice them, I walk around the place every day for an hour, believe me! -- a lot of rains but little sun for them here, not enough for proper massive grows.

Seriously, I love to get comments and to reply, but at the moment I have so much to do at work that I'm just not in the mood to turn the computer on at home. I think that's part of my demotivation too ... it's a shame that you have to actually work at work ;) lol

You are right, !BEER goes first 🙂

Sometimes when I see a mushroom I think of taking a photo, but because I am "mushroom blind" I don't see many 😉
On my next walk I will have a better look - maybe I can find some, because here we have rain and sunshine - it is quite warm and they should grow :)

and now part #2, about the words hunting --
i enjoyed your Milkweed Bug and Lycaenidae entries -- probably I will forget the Latin names, but getting their commonly-used one, is valuable for me. I never knew they are called like that. (have shot the same stuff recently too. the Milkweed bug is not so smart and was a good object to shoot macro).

probably I am no original here, but your Llakes and Layers photos are the highlight of the post for me. the thing you mentioned somewhere are a landscape photographer definitely shows where you passion lies :) outstanding and stunning pictures. (ofc, the mother nature did help you a lot!)

cheers!

...now let's reply to part #2 - my work can wait ;) lol

Sometimes it's really hard to find the correct name for a bug or a butterfly, so I take just the family name, like I did with this one 😉

Thank you so much for your kind words, my friend @qwerrie, if I had more time I would definitely post daily again, just to read your nice comments 😁

That's right, Mother Nature helps me a lot by showing me her beauty all the time 🙂


Cheers and !BEER
