Bad, bad caterpillar & MM results

Together with its siblings over the weekend this rascal has eaten and ruined the whole of the broccoli plant son no 1 and I had carefully grown from seed. Who knew butterflies would actually fly to the balcony ;-) Oh well, next year (no, in two months already)  I'll have a tiny hothouse in the garden, who knows what we can grow then !

Over to the more joyous occasion of giving away hearts and special mentions to the MonoMonday entries on the 'traditional' theme. First of all, well done to all, there were 118 entries with the tag MM138, and I did find three other entries without that particular tag too, so 121 entries to choose from, covering national to more mundane traditional subjects :-)
My hearts go to: 
Hanulli                for showing us a special Bavarian tradition
Goran Zebuhr    for an excellent shot of a Swedish royal tradition
Barking               for a lovely portrait of traditional penmanship
Gordo                  for a very welcoming portrait of a traditional doorman
Nickimags888   for capturing that very special Judges' Parade on Jersey

and the Special Mentions  go to
GracieG       for her teapot trivet
Freyad        for a beautifully lit church interior
AngelsShare   for a great crop of a Dutch windmill
madwill       for the atmospheric capture of vintage lettering  and
Coffeepotter  for an original  take with her dog treats

Thanks you all so much for participating, I did give all the entries I found a star and a comment, if you'd want to see all entries have a look here. Next MonoMonday's theme on the 19th is 'seasonal', and I'm hoping that will have you just as inspired :-) Please don't forget to tag it with the appropriate tag MM139, otherwise it's really difficult for me to spot it !

Thank you so much for your kind comments, stars and even a fave for yesterday's macro Blip !
