Welcome to POTW # 35

This week's photos will cover these dates: Sunday November 2nd till Sunday November 16th.

Let's keep up the high standard of shots we have seen over the past weeks.

Rules as before:

1) No theme just your favorite stuff.
2) Let's keep it to about 4-6 images per post just so the thread doesn't get too big each week .
3) Any Pentax camera is fine, film, P&S, DSLR (or Samsung DSLR)
4) Runs for 14 days. Sunday November 2nd to Sunday November 16th.
5) Enter anything you shot last week or this current week until the thread closes.

Nice capture Gary

Some very good shots everyone. Good job Bruce on the ceremony. I also posted some shots from ours yesterday. The dog shot is fun DB, I like that. Not yet Dave! We don;t get much snow before Christmas and I hope it stays that way! I think it was worth the drive Alan. Nicely captured. Steve that's a very good shot and even more so with the foot. Hope you are out jogging soon.

Alan - very nice Barn - love the framing, blue sky - worth the drive.

Frank - haha not too cold here for this time of year :-) Nice shot I have seen that view in person !

Steve - that is a great shot for anyone (even those without cruthces) - godspeed on the recovery.

Bruce - well done - I like those shots #1 is my favorite as well - I think you did good job.

Gary - nice - either camera shy or the 'gosh darn it you and the camera again !" - nice shot and nice pp.

Peter - haha freezing rain today probably melt the snow - it is 0c so it may be snow - whatever happens there will be a doxen or so fender benders today for sure !

Some really top shots this week so far.
Borno : think your bird shots are just great. Especially the eagle.

Alan : nice shot of the barn, flag and all. I like it.

Dave, : it must be that time of the year again. Your ( and others')snow shots always intrigue me, being something I never see.

Frank: that really is a beautiful sky. Nice capture.

Steve : lovely reflections.

Gary : What a classic shot of the dog. It is almost as if he is saying , "Stop disturbing my sleep"
Very well taken!

My dinner snap shot : Penne rigate , roasted veggies , Cherry tomatoes , quial eggs and pesto . Happy tummy !

Man, that looks good Tran!

Daz, Peter, Dave and Bruce, thanks for the comment. Pippin always has some kind of look in her eye although this one is probably the most used.

Gary.. love the shot of your dog!! The B&W works well. JIMBO

Thanks Jimbo.
Here'a a couple more.

First is a macro of a white flowering christmas cactus (larger size is better)

BTW I recommend looking at the biggest version in the gallery. https://www.pentaxforums.com/gallery/images/5983/1__IGP6982_1.jpg



Next is a mass of autumn coloured leaves on a persimmon tree.

[Jimbo]

One from this week.. Hope you enjoy. JIMBO

[Jimbo]

Gary, yes looking at the larger version makes a hugh difference on the first shot. Love it... Great shot / well done! JIMBO

[dantuyhoa]

Tom - Thanks ! It was very good !

Gary - That cactus is a mighty fine shot ! Lovely colors .
