No Troubles with the T | #AlphabetHunt for the letter T

avatar

Yes, I was hunting the most obvious T, so I'm curious how many more Trees I will see this week 😉

Another week has gone fast and we are already in the next round of the #AlphabetHunt Challenge, hosted by the great artist Barbara @barbara-orenya in the Feel Good Community, where you have to illustrate 6 words (or concepts) starting with the letter of the week.

Hive AlphabetHunt - Letter T

This week we are hunting the Letter "T". Please visit the latest blog post of Barbara @barbara-orenya to find out more about this fun contest: AlphabetHunt letter T- and who are the winners of the lucky draw for the S week.

My hunting trophies are a mix of Landscapes, Plants and Wildlife - so let's start with the above mentioned...

Tree

To the south of one of my favorite sunset spots you can see the Karawank mountain range, but just across the field there are also some trees along the road, which runs right behind. This tree stands to the right of other, older trees and an old stone church, which you can see in the third photo.

Tufted Duck

This nice couple of Tufted Ducks (Aythya fuligula) I have seen in spring during a walk at the reservoir.

According to Wikipedia the adult male is black except of the white flanks. It has a blue-grey bill and gold-yellow eyes, along with a thin crest on the back of the head. The head tuft gives the species its name. The adult female is brown with paler flanks.

Tolmerus Cingulatus

The Tolmerus Cingulatus belongs to the famly of Asilidae, also known as the Robber Fly family or Assassin Flies. This fly looks like a real dangerous robber in my eyes and I don't want to imagine it in my size.

Tower

Every castle must have at least one Tower I believe. This castle is called "Castle Eberstein" and was built on a large rock in a village with the same name "Eberstein" in my home state Carinthia. As you can see, there are quite some small and large Towers built to this castle.

Transmitter

In the middle of my home state Carinthia there's a large Transmitter Tower (Sendeturm) on the Dobratsch mountain.

Last Monday I hiked up this mountain just for this photo 😆 I'm only kidding of course, because I have had a nice hike with colleagues that day, but I knew that I could photograph one of my six T words there. The photo is a vertical panorama of 4 single photos.

Hive AlphabetHunt Transmitter - Sendeturm Dobratsch

Wikipedia: The Transmitter Tower is on an altitude of 2,115 m (6,939 ft) above sea-level on the Dobratsch Mountain near the town Villach. It has a total height of 165 metres (541 ft).
The Transmitter Tower is used for several radio services and FM broadcasting as well as for DVB-T transmission of several TV programmes.

Tiger Lily

I don't know what kind of Lily this is and I hope I'm not wrong with calling it Tiger Lily anyway, but I am happy that I have found this photo, which would complete my collection of T words.
The Image was taken in my mothers garden, just like so many of the flower photos I take, and my mom said she thinks it is called Tiger Lily.

Thunderstorm Cloud

Just in case I am wrong with the Tiger Lily above, I have hunted one more word for you: I have posted photos of this huge Thunderstorm Cloud about two months ago, but of course I have made a few more photos of this cloud for later use, and because this cloud turned into a huge Thunderstorm only a short while later, I can add these photos to my hunting trophies of this week 😊

One more thing...

I'm sorry JJ | @tattoodjay, but the dinosaur head I was thinking of was a Pachycephalosaurus and not a Tyrannosaurus.
I could have used this photo to illustrate the word terrifying though 😉

Hive Alphabet Hunt

I don't add information about the photos when I post for the #AlphabetHunt, because it's all about the words, but 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,

congratulations on successful hunt!
I will look at it when I do my choices. I have a hardest choice problem - which picks to take ... have more that 2 dozen words!
...and the !BEER, I am sure I will spill some more here after looking closer at the post :P
ps had many mushroom finds today. this autumn is warm, and had rains... I am sure there are plenty around you at the moment, woods are full! do you visit forests recently?.. dont forget about shrooms :)))

Oh well, if you have to chose from so many words I wouldn't want to be you ... too much brain work for me to decide which are the best words 🤣
But I'm looking forward to your certainly once more exceptional post, my friend 😀

Last weekend I have been photographing a bit in a woodland and mountain area and on Monday I made a hike with colleagues. I have seen quite some mushrooms, but I didn't have the macro lens with me. If it doesn't rain too much this weekend I'll go for a short forest walk and maybe I'll find some photogenic shrooms too, just for you 🤗

Thanks a lot for the !BEER

I would suggest you to let your daughter decide - maybe it's easier for her and she chooses the better words and photos anyway 😉

I'm off the list for a while and I don't know if I want to be on it again. At the moment I have too much work and am glad that I have the time for replies and one or two posts a week, although I want to post more, but shorter posts. So, don't expect me to be on top of the list, but I would love to see you there, my friend 😀

Another great hunt with beautiful trophies ! The first landscape is gorgeous ! totally my kind of landscape I love to contemplate : green, mountains, hills, clouds...😍
Of course, thanks to you I've met a new friendly insect that is either a robber or an assassin....How cool he is as friend !? ^_^
Amazing shots are your flower and the thunderstorm clouds !
And I like that you went to your hike with an idea in mind, I think we are a lot to have some plans behind walks and this is really funny to be kinda united by this... 😉

Another successful hunt for the T words Hannes.

The Karawank mountain range is awesome with the clouds and single tree . I also also used Trees in my choices and I’m sure we will see quite a few.

I love seeing the castles in your country and Castle Eberstein" didn’t disappoint with it’s towers.

What a great job of getting the full shot together of the transmitter.

Beautiful orange lily and if your mother calls it’s a tiger lily then it is. :)

I love all your choices and that dinosaur head does look fierce dear Hannes . :)

We have so many castles here in Austria - a while ago I have seen a number, but I can't remember it.

I have had a look through the different Tiger lilies in the internet but haven't found a matching flower. So I took it anyway and added one more word 😉

Thank you so much for your kind words, dear Jo, I hope you have a wonderful Frigg's day 🤗

The photos that you chose for the letter "L" are all beautiful and amazing!

I especially love the first three photos; the old stone church, the tree, the landscape, the mountains, and the clouds are picturesque.

The huge Thunderstorm Cloud is wonderful.

The Tufted Ducks are very cute.

Good selection and great capture! ;)

When I was young I didn't mind any heights, but as I became older the fear from falling grew in me I think. Now I am very careful and avoid big heights or better said to get too close to the abyss if possible, but that's sometimes not easy when you live and hike in the mountains 😂

Great post, I really enjoyed it. The tree sounds very obvious but you capture is absolutely perfect. The lonely tree at every shot looks fantastic and the view is very beautiful.

Also, ducks are very lovely ❤ Not a secret that I love birds and towers and ... not very big fan of insects 😄😄

Transmitter looks cool and it reminds me of our local one I see every day through my window, if the weather isn't too bad, coz a Thunderstorm can be not that nice 😉🌩⛈

Every time I read your alphabet hunt post I ask myself am I going to join it again 😶

Anyway, I wish you a great weekend for rest or journey or whatever!

This was a good hunt for you. Tree may be plentiful but your photo is exceptional as I can only see one tree against the snow-capped mountains. Fantastic. The Robber Fly and Tiger Lily are definitely unique as with Transmission Tower. Nice vertical panoramic view capturing everything. I had wanted to include the chess piece Tower in my words but I already used Rook in the R hunt which is the same as tower. Besides, I had a feeling somebody will be showing a castle's tower which I was not mistaken.

Congrats on a very successful hunt and we shall meet hopefully again in the U hunt.

Definitely nailed the letter "T" with amazing photography and topic once again Johann.

Robber fly most probably steals your blood like mosquitoes do, thug, vagabond!

Castle must towers for the temptress that lives in the left hand one one top!

Leaving you under those dazzling white thunderheads this has been a treat once again!
