Welcome to the 608th edition of Pictures of the Week (POTW), covering the period September 5 to September 19, 2020. Let's see what you have been shooting.

POTW is a great spot to show off six or fewer shots you take or are editing within the thread's date range.
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

I got out yesterday, intending to visit the botanical/zoological garden in Hong Kong but it dumped rain so found a nice wine bar instead! I did get out for a brief urban safari this morning. Saw some great spider!

Gorgeous iridescent spider. I couldn't see how pretty it was while taking the pictures:

Spider #2 looks like it has built-in stereo speakers. Does it blast its prey with sound?

Thanks for hosting, nosliwmit.
Ninety great egrets roosted in a wetland in Midland County, Michigan. I captured images in the evening with a monopod-mounted K-S2. Some — including this image — were captured with a 500mm mirror lens.
