    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.

    After many sunny days and high temperatures, a few days with a different kind of weather😋
    Cloudy with a glimpse of the sun and a few drops of rain, not the warm sunny weather we had but still good enough for a nice hike.
    Right now the Heather is in bloom and everything turns purple at the Molenveld nature reserve and Odoornerdennen.

    Photobygms,

    My first impression when I saw the photos, is that I liked seeing all of those clouds and the raindrops. We had a little bit of rain too a few days ago. It did not rain as much as they thought it would.

    I do like the purple flowers. We have lavender flowers this time of year too, which are similar in color.

    It is interesting to see that the heather grows is such large bushes. It clings more to the moors in Yorkshire, where I come from.

    @Digirame those clouds are gone, we do have sunny weather again at the moment, and temperatures are again somewhere in the 20-25c

    It does look like lavender in a way smaller bushes with purple flowers I can see the similarity😉

    @davidwien, This was only a section In "close up" 😂 I've seen fields filled with larger bushes at other nature reserve in the Netherlands.
