    This is the weekly Collegial Show Your Photos Any Brand thread where we invite you to show your own pictures. It is collegial in that it is a pleasant and friendly place among photographers to share.

    I will begin this thread each Monday (Pacific Standard Time) to give each of you all the chance to share your weekend photos with us, for those that follow a regular work week schedule and choose to do it that way. But the pictures can be taken at any time with any camera, including your cell phone. It's open to all skill levels from beginners to advanced. The images posted can be anything from casual snaps to extraordinary. I'll be sure to comment to each of your photos, if you choose to share. Replies from others are encouraged also.

    The intent of this thread to mainly to just show photos in a relaxed way and to generate replies or comments about them. Generally I'm not planning to critique any image unless asked. But I or we may ask things about a photo that may develop into a discussion, always being friendly and helpful. It has been a request that I mention this and from what I've learned from past experience: Can you ask a member first if they would mind you editing their photos?

    Remember it's all about the enjoyment of taking pictures regardless of what we have. We can learn from each. Please share any tips or techniques too. A narrative sometimes also helps. Thanks everyone for your participation.

    Subject: Lavender Festival

    Here's some photos from a Lavender Festival last month. People cut their lavender flowers and buy them here. There was music being played and people were able to buy food from vendors. It was a nice festive atmosphere with people enjoying the activities.

    The cars... NICE. I will add another one as a contribution (VW Bug convertible). Summer is nice in this regard... with good weather the vintage cars come out to stretch their legs. Also... lavender is good. We have a reputable lavender festival nearby in Sequim (about a 90 minute drive away; also in July, IIRC) -- although I have never attended.

    Do like those older cars
    Was it on purpose a red and white themed set with cars? @Digirame 😀
    Lavender does smell very nice, we do have some in our own backyard.
