Hi Debby!! Fabulous shots for this week's theme!! Beautiful orchid flowers in the first shot. Those water-lilies are stunning, I've never seen them that colour before!! What a strange place to have sculptures, in the third shot.

Hi Debby! I'm in awe... yessss! Beautiful twin orchid blossoms... love their colours! Water lilies are always captivating... whenever I see them I feel drawn to just sit or stand and contemplate... Your capture is wonderful and I don't remember to have ever seen water lilies of that colour... Unusual place to display sculptures but I am not surprised. It reminds me of a similar one not far from my place. A pond in front of the Maritime Museum, in which two or three navigators' faces live together with water-lilies...

Hi Debby - sorry to be so late to comment on your gorgeous pictures. Orchids are a favorite of mine and those yellow and maroon ones are wonderful. Love the water lilies, but my favorite is the faces in the water. An intriguing and haunting capture. Like something out of a fantasy story.

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.
