    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.

    Thanks Photobygms. We have had some sunny weather. We will get a little bit of rain late today and tomorrow. But the forecast generally is for dry weather this coming week.

    We do have similar weather, sunny days with some time temperatures that might be a bit on the high side
    But the night are cold as the should be at this time of the year.
    And sometimes it rains and no sun, just like the last weekend but we did go out for a hike.
    No sun but still a nice hike at a reservation we haven't visited that much.

    Photobygms,

    I do like seeing the bright spring green leaves on the trees that you captured during your hike. I took similar pictures yesterday. I just love this time of year with these fresh leaves and beautiful flowers. I like the color of that bird. I don't think we have that type of bird where we live.
