April 20 Photo Competition - Home & Garden

[rst99]

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.

Pushing the brief a bit but the moon looked nice out the window tonight so I went for it

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.

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!

And the Winner for April 2020 - as if you hadn't guessed is this amazing shot by Rob Dickinson.

Well done and over to you for May's competition.

I might change my entry.

[rst99]

To be fair, I think Rob's first shot might have won anyway

[rst99]

No, it's not rigged at all

I made a mistake by letting Rob add a second image and not sticking to the stated rules.

Apologies.

Anyway, let's move on to May.
