Welcome to the 593th edition of Picture of the Week (POTW), covering period 5 April - 19 April 2020. Let's see what you have been shooting these past two weeks. 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 2 weeks.

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.

This is my entry. It was a mostly sunny day and the osprey was observing the surroundings by the lake.

Fabulous birds Eva! And thanks for getting us going again.

I went for a hike on Monday. Beautiful weather and scenery. Ended up in the town of Tai O, which is a picturesque sea-side town on Lantau Island.

All of these were taken with my K-1 II and my FA 43 1.9 Ltd.
