Welcome to the 534th edition of Picture of the Week (POTW), covering 21 January 2019 to 3rd February 2019. Let's see what you have been shooting these past two weeks. Around here, we are entering the Valentine season, retailers are preparing for he onslaught, and florists are keeping their pockets open! Let's make it the theme for this and the next edition of POTW- Anything to do with LOVE- something or someone you Love, Romance and candlelight dinners, flowers and chocolate, romantic picnics and sunsets! Well, that will give us a few ideas. Take up the challenge and then post here!

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.

And kicking us off again-
Table for 2.


Here's something I'm increasingly falling in love with - Portraits. Some of the kids at the Center where I work


And I love Macro?insect Photography


And young people in general- girls at a Catholic Girls school where 2 of the Center;s kids attend. Prize Giving evening.


Spread the love- though this was a "staged" wedding, shot for promotional purposes.


And family love is the best of all!

Nice Pics but the theme for this week is "Love"....

[noelcmn]

Uhm! The Love theme is only a guide-not a rule! I like you pub shots, they are certainly warm, as long as the beers are not warm. Had that once, and will never have it again.
aaacb, I am as usual envious! That first one is superb!
Keep them coming folk!

Will do !! Thanks for the correction and the compliment--I think the "Black Sheep" one is my fave too.
