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.

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.

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.
