    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.

    Any time I see old cars, I have special fondness for these old corvettes. Here's one I particularly liked. I hope you do too.

    Subject: Lowrider Bicycles

    In additional to old cars, I saw these lowrider bicycles. I had always known about lowrider cars, but not these. So I looked it up on the internet and found that people like to customize their own bicycles in this manner. Lowrider cars and bicycles are part of our Hispanic culture we have here in Oregon and other states in the USA.

    Photo No. 1 - I found two of them here.

    Photo No. 2 - A young man parked his bicycle on the street so I could photograph it.

    I have to agree, that the Corvette is a nice one. looks to me like a good restoration has been done.
    Those bikes do have a similar look like the lowrider cars you mention. Only these bike don't have any hydraulic kit set up 😋

    And we did go out for a hike again in our own region after our holiday,
    The weather was not perfect, a bit cloudy and some light rain, but we can handle that 😅

    Photobygms,

    You still have lots of green. We also have lots of green leaves with the warmer weather, despite getting a little cooler with some rain yesterday. I do like the cows. 😀
