A garden study, the blackbird and the owl

I would like to receive any of the very nice three but the top one would make my day... the white roofs, the serene river and the naked branches in the foreground create a beautiful image of your town in winter. Thanks for your participation, Pat!

Hi Pat!! Lovely photos for this week's theme. Wonderful shot of Solothurn is winter, the tree-branches make an excellent 'frame'. Great shot of the Sphinx cat...he seems to be becoming a regular feature in your neighbourhood. I love the juxaposition of the blackbird and owl-statue in the last shot.

Nice shots, Pat. The first one of Solothurn in the winter is perfect! I love this, with the nearly bare branches dangling down in front.

The cat is amazing! It scares me a bit. I always think that someone must have shaved the poor things hair off!

I love the blackbird and the owl. Very whimsical!

Hi Pat, I just love that top shot of Solothurn in winter. It's great how the branches hang down and wonderful to see the mountains in the distance. Very interesting cat there in your garden. And a nice look on the owl's face as he watches the blackbird.

Rules For Weekly Challenges

The rules are similar to when Picture This was on Multiply, with a few differences. As always, please post a maximum of three photos each. The Picture This page on Blogger is optimised for image size 640 x 480, so please try to post images NO LARGER than this to avoid distorting the page or overlapping onto the right-rail. Blogger has a storage limit for photos uploaded directly to the site, so please use copy/paste of HTML from storage sites such as Flickr or Photobucket as much as you can. Unlike Multiply, Blogger does not allow posting of images in comment boxes, so anyone taking part should put their photos, along with any accompanying text, in a separate post here on the PT main page, making sure the challenge number and theme are in the title line. Please note that the posts will appear in reverse order. After the host has posted the challenge, all contribution posts will appear above it on the main page, so you will have to scroll down the main page to find the host's post.

Challenge Albums & Flickr

Unlike Multiply, Blogger does not have facility for photo albums, so Picture This now has it's own associated Flickr account, where albums will be uploaded to . Once on Flickr, they will then be cross-posted to Blogger (all of this part is done by the admins, just like the albums were on Multiply). Each challenge album will appear on it's own tabbed page, along with a Flickr slideshow of the album. The cross-post only shows the first 24 images as thumbnails, to see the whole album, either watch the slideshow, or click on the little blue link between the thumbnails and the slideshow. Only the most recent three challenge albums will show on tabbed pages, to see earlier albums, you will need to go to the Picture This Flickr page. CLICK HERE TO GO TO FLICKR PAGE. Our Flickr account has tight copyright controls, so your photos are as safe as on your own Flickr page.
