Knautia to Knot : AlphabetHunt

Another week has passed and we are already chasing the next letter in the marvelous #AlphabetHunt Challenge hosted by theBarbara @barbara-orenya in the Feel Good Community: illustrate 6 words (or concepts) starting with the letter of the week.

This week we hunt the Letter "K": #AlphabetHunt letter K - and the winners of the lucky draw for the #J week.

In German we have so many words which start with a "K", but it seems the English "K" words are rather rare.

I have to admit that I haven't known the name Knautia Arvensis of this flower until I have posted a photo of it last year. The German name "Acker-Witwenblume" sounds somehow strange, because it means "Field-Widowflower". I have no idea why this flower and the genus Knautia is called "Witwenblume" in German at all. The commonly used English name is Field Scabious.

It's been a few years since I took my first digital macro photo. The kiwi slice, which I actually use almost everywhere as my profile picture, was not the first, but one of the first macros that I liked.

My son has chosen to learn playing the piano at school ... two months before he decided that he does not want to go to school anymore and left it. But we still have the keyboard, almost unplayed.

Kamikaze: This word came into my mind when I saw the video later at home, not because I would have ridden so fast though (it looks faster than it actually was), but it was too fast for the road conditions and for my motorbike, because after this ride the steel mounting plate of my Vance&Hines exhaust broke.

This was the first word that came into my mind when I thought of the letter "K", and I think many of you will think the same.
But thinking of a word and illustrate it with a photo are two different pair of shoes, so I needed a few days of thinking until I saw a bunch of keys in a box in my office and thought I could play a bit with Photoshop and the Nik Collection.

To be honest, th efirst fice words have been more or less easy to find, but the sixth K word was very hard. Of course I thought of a Knife, but the knife I wanted to photograph has suddenly disappeared and I couldn't find it. So I made a Knot into this rubber band with something that looks like a plectrum and had my 6th K word 😁

I usually take my photos 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.
