Welcome to the 652nd edition of Pictures of the Week (POTW), covering November 22 - Dec 6 13, 2021. Post photos takes the past week or during the next week. Let's see what you have been shooting and/or processing.

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 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.

Thanks very much to all previous hosts and to people who have posted images!

Happy Saturday!

I spent a couple of weeks in Florida and took lots of photos of birds (especially pelicans). Here are a few more from me (all taken with my K-1 II and DA*300):

Thanks for hosting again aaacb, and I'm liking what I'm seeing this week. A quick contribution from me
An interesting Chest of draws that arrived as part of a donation to the Orphanage where I also work


Some drama around the corner from where I live


Some minimalism - shot for another project


I found one of my lost marbles


With lots of rain comes lots of mushrooms

Thanks for posting! Cool bird shots, and quite interesting chest of drawers.
