Welcome to the 503 edition of Picture of the Week (POTW), covering 21 May to 3 June 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 for hosting again Eva, I love that Bubble shot, and there is something similar (or at least I think so) of a free library at a local park. And agree, those are excellent concert shots aaacb. Nobody-Naughty.
I got a new toy-new to me at any rate, another Tamron 70-300mm and I gave it some exercise. It needed it after the long trip from the UK
Known as Pride of De Kaap- Just blooming.


Coupled with the Raynox 150


Juxtaposed


The beautiful Red Billed Wood Hoopoe


From a local Municipal Nature Reserve-The magical Malachite Sunbird- with the Sigma 170-500mm


And Wild Dagga in abundance

Wonderful pics as usual Noel, and I like those library ideas too. Must be warming up in Warszawa

I've still got summer leftovers to process, and two new shots from the last week. The first, and orange Cosmos, is with the SMC Pentax A 35-70mm f4, the second two are of a Golden Native Drone Fly, the fourth is a Marigold taken with a Promura 135mm f3.5 preset. The last two are with a Cosina Cosinon W 24mm f2.8 - I also posted the Rosemary for the Single in challenge.

Thanks to Eva for hosting again and to all who post in this thread!

The images below were captured with my Pentax K-S2 and either a SMC Pentax Macro 1:4/100 or smc Pentax-F1:4.5-5.6 100-300mm.

The iris images were backlit. They were captured indoors through a sliding glass door.

The twos of the ewe and her lamb were captured at Kensington Metropark Farm Center, part of the Huron-Clinton Metroparks system in Michigan.

The first of those two images is titled "If You're Going Up There, Be Careful." The second is "Supervised Play."
