Picture of the Week Year two 03/29/09 - 04/12/09
Welcome to POTW #56

Hi,
As David Whiteley nominated me as the host of this weeks challenge it's now my turn to open it.
Finally good weather arrived (here in Europe) and summer is definitely on it's way..(well at least on the Northern part of the Globe) ...with loads of new opportunities. I don't think anybody needs to be encouraged to go out and shoot. Just please don't forget to post and comment
P.S.
Of course pictures from the Southern part of the Globe are also awaited!

Cheers, Andras

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) Date : Sunday 03/29/09 - Sunday 04/12/09
5) Enter anything you shot last week or this current week until the thread closes.

Thanks Rense

[daacon]

Georg thanks for the comments

Davef - I hear ya about a slow spring. Nice bikes I have seen a few on the roads here as well - but man there is still lots of grime and gravel around. Love that last shot very nostalgic feel.

Planedriver - again wow thanks for all the comments and that looks a nice frosty cold one.

Bruce - thanks for the comments , untilt the colors come geese and ducks are about the only interesting thing to shoot.

Tom - happy easter to you and yours as well. Sunrise mass you are a better man than me (but nice to see you captured the moment)

Rense - happy easter to you and yours as well.

Happy Easter to all the forum members and especially the POTW participants. We have a family meal later today that all of use will eat waaaaaaaaaaaaaaay too much soon.

I decided to give the DA 35LTD a try out on some street shooting.

The sun was out in full force yesterday 20 degrees Celsius. That brings everyone out off the woodwork for a walk down Whyte ave in Edmonton. Pretty harsh lighting but it was nice to get out without needing a coat first time this year.

My great niece Sophie, being adorable as usual...

[Bramela]

Kevin :Nice shots, . Beautiful colour. Love the first is a really nice shot.

#Interestingly, that looked like some weird green creature in the field, directly above the bicycles.

Stratman : the Bubble Blower is a truly lovely shot. Sharp and love the vivid colours.
