Great banner and theme by Benni,

These two shots are from an excursion to Halland's Weather Isle which lies off the NW peninsula of Scania.

Many thanks to Benni for hosting this week, despite some difficulties getting her theme posted. A good theme, which I'm sure we've not done before. 

1) Of course, I've been on many 'treks' with Joanne. This one was to Red Rock Canyon in Nevada.

2) Joanne has also 'trekked' across the Atlantic. Here she is on a visit to Colby Woodland gardens here in Wales.

3) I've also been on a few treks with Baz. The best one we did was hiking to the top of Pen-Y-Fan here in Wales. Here is Baz on one of the gentler lower slopes.

3) And here we are near the summit. That's not fog, it's actually low cloud!!

Good morning! I have had some difficulty with Blogger but I think I have it sorted. We'll see. If I sound somewhat scattered it is because I am having a hard time making Picture This work for me and now I can't make comments. I thought I had it fixed but it is messed up again.

Thanks for using my picture as banner shot. My theme is inspired by Mitch's trip to see Baz. My pictures are all of animal companions, but yours may include people, or shots you took walking on your own. Hopefully you will have good memories finding shots.

Met this frog and was able to take her picture with some difficulty before she hopped away.

Wonderful banner shot and great theme by Mitch. Hope you are all well. Here are a few of my favorite shops.

I can spend hours in here.

A wide variety of items, some just plain strange.

Another place I can spend hours. Van Atta's nursery.

Bait and tackle and a hopeful egret.

Greetings everyone, this is Mitch. I'll be hosting this week. PLEASE NOTE: next week will be our annual September break, so no theme. We will resume on Saturday 29th September. 

This week's theme is ~SHOPS~. There are lots of different types, let's see your favourites. 

1) Greengrocer's shop.

2) For all your canine supplies!!

3) Not strictly a shop, it's a bistro...but I love the name!!

4) Looking through the window of a small bakery in Saundersfoot, Pembrokeshire, Wales.

5)  This tiny shop near St David's Cathedral, Pembrokeshire, Wales, sells the most delicious hand-made chocolates and home-made ice-cream.

Picture This #466 ~ The Colors Of Fall

Just sitting here enjoying my coffee, looking at your wonderful pictures and Belita's magnificent banner shot.

I love early fall, before it gets too cold. This year we have had a two months' long drought and our trees are not their usual bright colors. But I have other pictures.

By the buds on his head, you can tell this is a young buck.

Picture This #465 ~ Doors And Windows

A big thanks to Benni for offering to host this week while I've been away looking after mom. A good theme, with lots of possibilities. The hardest part of this one was narrowing it down to four photos as I have a lot of photos of both doors and windows in my archive.

1) Defender's View. This is what windows looked like in many castles in the centuries before glass was used.

2) Cabin View. Taken from inside sandstone cabins in Valley Of Fire State Park, Nevada. Once used to accommodate travellers, now empty and abandoned, but a great view!!

3) Old church window. Now boarded up, not sure because of vandalism or just wear and tear of time and never replaced. 

4) View through a window in the Hopi ruins in Wukoki, Arizona.
