No April Fool's joke - there's a new topic in the photo challenge "24 photos in 12 months". Our topic for April: Books and words

Looking forward to the photos...

Full moon - time for a new topic in the full mooon challenge. After shaking the red treasure box full with creative topics, I selecte one of the slips of paper. And the new topic is: : Stone

From full moon (Sunday, March 28, 2012, 20:48 CEST) till full moon (Tuesday, April 27, 2021, 5:31 CEST) we will have new creations on the topic "stone". Looking forward to the new photos, poems, ...

"Look, I found a free apartment."

"Let's see if it is large enough for all our furniture."

"Looks spacious."

"Great. Then let's move in."

In March, we have the topic tools for our photo challenge. Naturally, you think of hammers, saws or screwdrivers, when you hear "tools".

Along these lines, I post a photo of telescopes:

Side effect of the strong wind? A broken greenhouse:

Either I need some tools to repair this or a new greenhouse...

After solar energy and water power, let's not forget the wind power. Few days ago, we had quite strong winds here:

This gif was created from these two pictures:

Back home the rivers are not only torrential when there is floodwater as Alex captured at the river Rhein:

Many of the rivers and waterfalls have lots of energy. The leaves don't float downstream as smoothly as LaMouette describes.
