Welcome to the Picture of the Week #238. Big thanks to pentaximus for hosting the previous POTW.

This week covers 28 October to 11 November, 2012. That lets you show off any shots you took last week but haven't processed until now. In other words, you can post your shots from this week AND last week.

POTW is a great place to show what you've been shooting day-to-day. We can share ideas, learn from one another, and have a good time.

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:

A few starters. I don't know the name of this plant. Anyone?



This leaf stuck to the sole of my shoe and this pattern transfered to it.

Thanks for hosting again Pentaximus, and good start, that "waffle leaf" is really cool!

Stormy weather turned to crisp fall sunsets this week.

[pentaximus]

@ramseybuckeye - Nice invisible fan blades, Tom!

@SpecialK - Get wide, why don't you! Thanks for the beach shots. I'm sure Runegutt123 appreciates them.

@Thedogwalker - Great moment captured with the dogs. I like the PP as well. And raccoons don't get any cuter than that!

Thanks for hosting again Pentaximus. Just a couple for now - I call these "Creepers & Cable Connections"

Visited the new Panama Canal construction site yesterday. This is the future site of the Atlantic locks.

Seeing that we are all joining "from a ....." I'd better join. From a visit to pet shop


And from a visit to the botanical Gardens

We finally had an opportunity to get to the coast, so we chose Five Islands for an afternoon exploration.

Thanks pentaximus. I didn't know what PP meant until I relaized today: Post Production. heh, new to online photo sharing. I captured the tree inside the camera only using digital filters - not sure if that still means PP or not - does it?

I love that train shot StepenHampshire - that could be a post card!

Very neat! Love the "rainbow creeper."

And this is why I like POTW so much. You never know what you'll get here! We have reporters on the scene around the world. very interesting, and thanks for sharing.

I want to know if you ever identified the red leaf, Stuart. I guessed persimmon or blackgum before. I also thought maybe dogwood, but it looks too delicately and asymmetrically ribbed to be a dogwood. Thanks for the additional images!

I love this image! The detail in the smoke column is fantastic!

Ooh, I really like the cloudscape with the rainbow, and thanks for introducing us to Mr. Billings!

Now that's funny, Noel. I picture ME going to the pet shop to shoot some exotic animals, but I picture YOU going to Kruger! I guess we'll settle for some pet shop pics this time!

Lovely black and whites. And welcome to POTW!
