Hi everyone, this is Mitch. I'll be your host for this week. Before we start can I just remind you that this is a very small group and relies on each and every member taking part as much as possible. Please remember that not everyone can post at the weekend. If someone cannot post until later because of other commitments, they often get overlooked for comments. PLEASE remember to check back and comment on late posts. Thank you.

This week's theme should be an easy one for everyone. It's 'Flowing Water'. There's flowing water just about everywhere you look, so you should have something for it. Rivers flowing, rain falling, waterfalls, water running from a tap......the possibilities are endless. Let's see some great shots!!

Here are mine:

1) Water running over a small weir.

2)  The ebb and flow of the ocean.

3) Water running from an outflow pipe.

4)  Waterfall in sunlight.

Picture This #347 ~ Something Blue

Thanks for hosting Belita and blue is a good theme. Love the banner photo from Benni, that is really a great capture.


I am late this week, but I am here. I have just been busy doing this and that. My main hobby is writing perhaps accompanied with a photo in WordPress and I partake in so many various Challenges with colleagues, I have to find the time to fit them all in. Also I do not get out so much at the moment. Since my accident when I fell, I need time to get back into my walking shoes. Because of this I have only be taking photos around the house and garden and locally. I also have to be careful that I am not repeating my photos here.



Here is my first photo. My garden bird who keeps an eye on things for me.

These are a sort of forget me nots, but they are not annuals, they are constant and I discovered the official name is Siberian Burgloss. My sister-in-law had them in her garden and gave some to me about 10 years ago and they still appear every year.

And here is Mr. Swiss with our car in New York in 1993 - not really, but I told him to stand there and took the photo - non-digital photo, so I scanned it.

Belita saw my first photo on Facebook and said I might be a fortune teller. She was right. This is a wonderful theme for me and I enjoyed finding pictures for it. I'm posting last as usual, having just woken. Thank you for putting my blue heron as the banner shot!!

Here are my three and when I wake up, I shall be around to enjoy and comment on your pictures.

PICTURE THIS #347 ~ SOMETHING BLUE

Hello PT fellows! This is Belita very pleased to host this week's Challenge. For the past few days, I've had busy days and not enough time to think of an interesting theme. So, please accept my choice 'SOMETHING BLUE'. It's an easy subject, I know it well, but even though, I am curious to see what you are going to show us. Many thanks!

You can see the mural below, in the city of Oporto where I took the photo last week. Nobody could tell me who she had been. Most probably, she was simply an old wrinkled female, a former resident in that very problematic neighbourhood. 
SOMETHING BLUE

 I like strolling through Oporto problematic neighbourhoods and so far nothing has ever happened to me. I found this dog wearing Oporto football club colours...

Here I am, busily packing to leave Florida and go back up north, where it is hopefully spring. But I wanted to post some pictures and comment on all of yours.

Thanks for hosting Anders and at last my naked feline has found fame, especially as he no longer lives here. He was a thankful subject for photos.

Here is a shot of the lady that serves me my cold meat at the local supermarket.
