This month's photo competition is on the theme 'Home & Garden'

The definition of home/garden can be as loose as you like.

Hopefully, we can get some interesting entries and spark some inspiration during the lockdown.

Best of luck

Rules:
The photos taken must be your own work and can be taken at anytime, but please DO NOT get out with your gear if you have time.
The competition will run from the first to the last day of the month.
you can only submit one, and only one, photo.
The winner from the previous month decides on the topic for the following month and judges it at the end of the month.
Entries and discussion on this single thread, please.
All entrants acknowledge that they may indeed win and that their adherence to convention ensures everyone else's continued fun.
Photos entered can be as large as you like, although bear in mind if too large, it may not be possible to see the whole image on some screens. Links to larger versions are permissible.

I thought 'All entrants acknowledge that they may indeed win' was a curious rule. Do people enter because they don't want to win?

I think it was added because some people entered and then never returned to find out that they'd won.

Right, change of image (if i am aloud to OP?) - I have been out shooting some insects, much more interesting whilst in lockdown.

Taken in my garden at the weekend looking at the clear skys above Heathrow and Gatwick, this busiest airspace in the world (by some measure). Such a luxury to be able to take star trails without plane lights cutting across!

If the moon is visible from your home or garden then it is well within the brief.

A lot of really good submission so far.
