Welcome to Picture of the Week #83 10/04/2009 - 10/18/2009

Thanks Dave (daacon) for hosting last weeks POTW thread it can be found Here

Again same rules and really other than time frames there are no rules

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 10/04/2009 to Sunday - Sunday 10/18/2009. Enter anything you shot last week or during this current week until the thread closes.


Previous hosts: (each one is a hotlink to that POTW thread to look past at the previous 81 weeks. As Dave mentioned I'll join to thanks to Peter who started the links it was a lot of editing - I was now able to just copy them here

It's hard to get great shots of bike racing. I have many, many examples ranging from mediocre to really bad Yours is pretty good.

More birds. A friend's neighbour has two cockatoos that live with him. They're not exactly pets and they're not really wild either. They are free to fly away at any time and I often see them flying around. I've been meaning to take some shots of them for ages.

They were feeding on the nature strip. At the first sight of my camera, they head for sanctuary.


Eventually one is persuaded to have his photo taken.


Who's a pretty boy, then?

Richard.
Good stuff, they look very well. Fresh back from tearing western red cedar window frames to pieces no doubt...

Richard : that second shot of man and his cockatoo friend is certainly something special.
Very well taken shot.
I have a lot of them around here, but not that close (with both meanings : photo/friend)
