Welcome to the
milestone 500th edition of Picture of the Week (POTW), covering
12 April to 22 April 2018.
POTW is a great spot to show off six or fewer shots you take or are editing within the thread's date range. In other words, you can post your shots from this week AND last week.
To post your great photos, just hit reply and attach away.
Feel free to start immediately.
Please:
• consider including in your post any special circumstances or tips on technique or equipment which might be interesting to others.
• identify your camera and lens if that information is easily available to you.
And please invite other Pentaxians to join us.
Some rules:
1) No theme, just post your favorite pix
2) Six or fewer images per person per thread to prevent thread bloat
3) Any Pentax, Ricoh or Samsung camera, film or digital
The current host will invite a new host via Private Message (PM), but if you are interested and willing to host POTW, please send me a PM, before I contact others.
If possible, the new thread will be linked to the previous one. If the thread doesn't start, please contact the host, via PM.

Thanks very much to all hosts and to everyone who contributes images and comments in these threads.
The butterfly images were captured with a Pentax K-S2 and older SMC Pentax Macro 1:4/100 in the indoor Butterflies in Bloom exhibit at Dow Gardens in Midland, Michigan. It was one of the final days of this year’s exhibit — a nice day before weather turned bad.
