Picture This #456 ~ Glimpse

Hi everyone, this is Mitch. I'll be your host this week. I've been trying to think of a theme we haven't  done before and think I've come up with one. The theme is GLIMPSE. As defined in the dictionary it is "a momentary or partial view" or "to see something briefly or partially". Quite often one can catch a glimpse of a distant object through several closer objects. Hope you have fun with this. Here are mine:

1) A glimpse of Picton Castle through many of the bushes in it's wonderful gardens.
Castle Glimpse

2) A glimpse of pillars through a doorway at Tintern Abbey.
Glimpse Of Pillars

3) A glimpse of the old house through two archways at the National Botanical Gardens Of Wales.
Double Glimpse

4) A glimpse of the cafe through the flowers of Stackpole Gardens.

Many thanks to Benni for hosting this week. A great theme, with lots of possibilities. I decided to split my entries between local places I enjoy visiting and far-away places I've visited. So, two of each. 

1) Aberglasny House, about thirty miles from where I live, has beautiful formal gardens.

2) At the Grand Canyon, there are other things to see apart from the canyon itself.....like this traditional Hopi house.

3) The River Cleddau, just three miles from where I live, is a great place for canoeing. In this photo I had gone about five miles up-stream to the old mill at Black Pool.

4) When visiting New York, this is one landmark you must see!!

Picture This #455 ~ Getting Away

Happy Saturday! I will be your host this week for Picture This. Wonderful banner shot by Heidi, incredibly colorful.
We all need to get away from time to time, from a short morning walk to a trip halfway around the world. And, of course, we take pictures. Here are mine, have fun showing us yours from your travels.

Manasota Key Refuge
My chair and bag for an afternoon on Manasota Key in Florida.

Space shuttle
Sorry about the quality of the picture. You are looking at a blast-off of the space shuttle from the Kennedy Space Center, one of the last in 2009. It's about 200 miles away on the other side of Florida and I didn't think I would get a decent shot of it getting away.

Picture This #454 ~ Being Different In...

Good morning. I love this theme! I love things that are a bit different or unusual. I just got up and will be back after coffee to see your shots and comment them as well as the beautiful banner shot by Mitch.  Here are my shots:

Just married
Found on a walk. Don't know what to make of this.

pork roast
Sometimes I like to cook a nice meal for a change; this is a tenderloin pork roast, done up in olive oil and herbs from my garden.

Manatee
Manatee sculpture in Florida park.

Old fence
There must have been a house here in the woods, all that is left is this fence. A bit different find on my walk.

PICTURE THIS #454 ~ BEING DIFFERENT IN...

From the north of Portugal,  Oporto, to be precise, I am pleased to be hosting this week's Challenge.
A very beautiful banner image... congratulations, Mitch!

Well, what is the theme of my choice??? Very simple and open to many many possibilities.  We all are surrounded by objects, people, fauna, flora, etc. that are different in size, shape, colour, function, height, etc, etc.. Therefore, this week's theme is BEING DIFFERENT IN...

My first example shows two houses (Oporto), the façades of which are obviously different in many ways...

The Entrepreneur Monument (Oporto) - you see how the elements are different in size and shape, mainly...

Cooking and Serving wares  - typical from the north of Portugal -  that are different in shape, size and use...

The aquatic life is different in size, colour and species...
