March 2021

In March, we present the third topic for our photo challenge "24 photos in 12 months": Tools

This means that here and in the Fotoschmiede you will each find at least two photos around the topic "Tools".

Thanks to the congress of organic balconies, the number of my posts went down (to zero) in the last 1-2 weeks. The congress presented each day three interesting videos on various topics around gardening with especial focus on local species... But each day three hours or more with information leaves not much time for taking photos, editing photos or putting them online.

Finally, I find time to continue the photo series on Echinacea. Here we have another visitor of this lovely plant - this time a butterfly. Any ideas which one this could be?

Another butterfly visiting... 

Which one is it this time? With the wings closed it's difficult to guess - but maybe you still have an idea? 

Luckily, the insects spend a lot of time on the flowers of the Echinacea, so that there is a lot of time to take photos from all directions.

Do you have already an idea which butterfly is eating here?

In the background a peacock butterfly... and in the foreground?

And the butterfly continues exploring the flower....

Now it should be easier to identify it... 

Walking... 

Here comes my first post for the topic "feet" of the creative challenge.

I took the photo already some time ago. Thinking about the topic "feet", I immediately remembered this photo, but it took a while until I found it in the jungle of folders. On the way, I found a lot of other great photos :)

See feet...
Feet in the sea... 

Was undecided, so you get both photos...
