Picture This #263 ~ Boats

I'm very pleased and honored to have my picture as the banner. Thank you for your kind words.

Boats are a favorite subject for me in when I go to my winter digs in Florida. A couple of these I may have posted before.

Gathering for the regatta.

A ketch, heading home.

Boat with pelican and diamonds.

There are strict speed limits to protect manatees and dolphins. This is my husband's dream job - manning a police boat.

Hi Benni !! A fabulous selection of shots for this week's theme. The first two shots are really nice, I particularly like the ketch. It's the third shot that stands out, all the elements.......boat, pelican, sparkling water......combine to make a really beautiful scene. Cool final shot....for some reason the theme tune for Miami Vice came to mind!!! LOL.

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.
