Picture This #290 ~ Trees

Great banner picture by Heidi and thanks to Benni for hosting.

I have a Kerria Japonica in my garden, one of the first to flower in Spring.

We also have a lilac bush just outside the garden

Anyone for a Hawthorne?

And our hibiscus

Hi Pat, just beautiful flowering trees and bushes. The brilliant yellow of the Japonica must be a very welcome sight in the spring. Very nice shots of the lilac and hawthorne. Your shot of the hibiscus is well done, showing all the stages of blossoming and marvelous color.

Hi Pat!! Wonderful shots for Benni's theme. A lovely collection of flowering bushes and trees. Nice 'mellow yellow' of the Japonica. The Lilac bush is beautiful. A haven for butterflies in summer, no doubt!! I really like the Hawthorne's snow-white blossom. Is the plant in the final shot a Hibiscus? It could also be a Mallow, which has similar blooms to the Hibiscus.

From the four shots of the trees in your garden, I can easily figure how beautiful your garden must be...
different flowers, different colours...

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.
