Welcome to the new round of Picture of the Week. Thanks to Joe for hosting last week. Let's see plenty of great postings over the next week.

This week covers May 27 to June 10, 2012

Again same rules as always:

1) No theme, just post your favorite pix.

2) Lets keep it to fewer than 6 images per post just so the thread doesn't get too big each week.

3) Any Pentax camera or Samsung SLR is fine, whether it's film, P&S, or DSLR.

4) Enter anything you shot last week or during this current week until the thread closes.

5) The current host will appoint the new host as an invitation via Private Message (PM). If possible, the new thread will be linked to the previous one and the new thread will start between Noon EDT and 5PM EDT on Sunday. If the thread doesn't start, please contact bluestringer, Moderator via PM.

Here are the links to previous POTW threads:

Hi Xandr! Thanks for hosting this week. I don't have anything new to add yet but I wanted to point out that the dates should be May 27 to June 10. The challenge normally runs from Sunday to Sunday but reaches back one week to allow the posting of shots taken but just processed. And then there are time differences around the globe which confuses everything. Clear as mud, eh?

Thanks for hosting!

Got up at 4AM to make the 2 hour drive for the hot air balloon/wine tasting festival.


Fogged in, no balloon launches. They all left to find clear sky elsewhere. Cost me $25...


Continued on to the airshow at Gillespie field east of San Diego.

Parachuter.


Super Corsair.


F-8E and VW "Cub".

At an Antique & Collectible Festival

This event offers many photo possibilities. I ask the vendor's permission before photographing merchandise that's for sale. (The dog was not for sale. I had approval for the photo anyway.)

Stu, nice set, I like the marbles (I think they are marbles) best.
Richard, thanks for the car show, I like the old Ford with the flags, nice colorful car shot.

Looks like a car/ballon/air show week. I did get a couple of vehicles in a museum in Cincinnati:
1925 Model T Station Wagon:


1951 Crosley Super Convertable

I've contacted a moderator twice already to change the dates in the title of the thread, but no luck so far.

Anyway, here are some from a trip to the Salem campground in Covington, GA. The campground dates to 1828. The main tabernacle building was built in the 1850's.













This guy was way back in the woods:



And I'll throw this one in as a bonus:



Have a great week everyone!

Thanks for taking on hosting duties Xandr. Some lovely shots coming through once again. I like those marbles shot SMF, and I hope they are my lost marbles. That would be nice though some people will disagree about that assessment. And the motor car selection is fantastic from SpecialK and Ramsey. Also had a vintage car show last weekend but it was not advertised and I only learned of it on Monday, which is a pity as I would have relished the opportunity. Zorglub, l ove that frog, but very much more intrigued by the skulls. What, where how??? Skulls like that in a rain forest? I had better not go there.

The moon has been quite fantastic over the last few days, affording me some shots, both daytime and night time.




This insect visited our garden-very tiny.


While the moon was rising in the east, the sun was setting in the west, and this very dramatic cloud formation was seen, catching the last rays of the sun, giving at an almost volcanic look.


And some sunrays too.


From last weeks water drops


And something more mundane, a church bell seen form a distance


Xandr, I have taken liberty of posting 7, above the usual quota of 7. But I like to do that with new hosts.

Hehe, yeah it's some kind of a bat cave thing they have with skulls. Very low light, lots of bats, lots of skulls and a couple of screams. I know that did not explain it but there it is ;-)

Oh! and I love your sunray shot!

Wow--this week is off to a great start! I especially like Bruce's fungi, Zorglub's frog and noelcmn's sunrays.

This is a photo of a tower in Panama Viejo, a UNESCO World Heritage Site in Panama City. This was the site of the first colonial city here. It was sacked by pirates in 1671 and afterwards the city center was moved elsewhere.
