Welcome to the Weekly Image Thread!

This thread will appear every Saturday (GMT). If the thread is nearing full before the next Saturday, I may start a new thread and carry on until it fills or the next Saturday arrives and it is reasonably full in which case I will start another. Confused, so am I! From time to time the start could be delayed if I am unavailable.

Although this Weekly thread is in the Olympus SLR forum, we openly welcome users of all brands and models.

Thanks Dave.

Yes, don't think about it if it depresses you. I am not a big fan but not a hater, unlike my wife!

The grandson is number 27 this season. He is only in the first of these images. I have not yet gone through all the game shots. I hope I have some better images of him. I have one of his step brother and him together in the penalty box! Not something that likely occurs frequently!

I think the vine you refer to is Virginia Creeper. We have lots on the property! We also have poison ivy! No poison oak that I know of.

An interesting and well done set Dicky! The logrunner is spectacular!!! I don't think I would make it through the bush with a walker! I had a hard enough time in the antique store and the quilt show on Saturday. Today my wife had a diagnostic procedure at the hospital and I was the driver. No walker today but was a bit bent over this morning but better later in the day.

Very attractive woodland scenes Dave. As to the lens, it makes no difference how long a lens you have, it seems it is always 'too short'! I am talking about lenses here and nothing else, just to be clear! That said, I would still like to have a big white, I just don't want to pay for one!

A very enjoyable set of pictures, Dicky.

The dragon does look like a case of bottle flu.

The paddymelon is likely nervous because it knows you just might decide to eat it.

The logrunner is beautiful.

I like the nest. Never seen one like it.

I really like the lightning pictures. Are they from your balcony? Rich

The first makes me think of Tolkien's works, Dave. The mossy watercourse is lush and looks like here.

And, a fine, plump squirrel! You should have grinned it to death like Davy Crockett did the bear, then taken it home for your Redhead to skin and clean to put in a pot with neaps, tatties, parsnips and onions.

yummy. Rich

So sorry to hear things are worse for you, Andrew.

Messier Object · Oct 20, 2025

Wow, just wow!

can’t pick a favourite here Rich, all are winners !

Messier Object · Oct 20, 2025

Cool serenity - nice !

An interesting collection Dicky.

I like your dramatic stormy sky.

I dint think I’ve seen a pademelon before

I think your white-browed is actually a yellow-throated scrubwren which, down here, are less common

Messier Object · Oct 20, 2025

ice hockey isn’t something we see down here but I’m told there are men’s and women’s leagues in Sydney. But I know it’s a major sport for you

Top flower shots Andrew.

Sorry to hear of your health problems :-( and hope you find some relief.

Thank you Charlotte.

"The Orionid meteor shower is visible from the Sunshine Coast, peaking on the night of October 21st. To see it, go to a dark area away from city lights after midnight and look towards the northeastern sky, specifically in the direction of the constellation Orion. Your eyes will need about 20 minutes to adjust to the darkness"

That is the advice given by Google - I don't think I will be heading to a dark place after midnight :-D But I will look out from our balcony (it faces north east) in the forlorn hope that they will be visible; I'll try composite again but with the 9mm @ F1.8

Thank you Andrew, sorry to hear of your health troubles. I think my bushwalking days are coming to an end; likewise golf will be done from a cart soon - no more pushing a buggy for much longer.

Dicky.

DickyAus · Oct 20, 2025

Thank you Rich. Paddtmelons are as tough as Roo meat - my teeth wouldn't be up to the task :-D

I've sworn off the grog for a while - my eyes were starting to look like the dragon's.

The lightning shots were from our balcony, it faces north east so we should get a good view of any storms that come our way.

The Boss will go into hospital later this week for another two weeks of antibiotics for her lung condition. So she should be good for the Christmas festivities.

I liked the photo of the "No Kings" protester who was dressed up like Sputum and dangling a fatso puppet :-D 8ut I don't like to see the breakdown of democracy; The evil axis of communist dictators must be laughing their socks off.

Dicky.

DickyAus · Oct 20, 2025

Thank you Peter. paddymelons are quite common up this way.

Looking at "Simpson & Day" I think you are right about the scrubwren.

Dicky.

DickyAus · Oct 20, 2025

Very nice series Dave. Calming and cooling (its getting hot over here - I have to refill my water bottle at every water fountain on the golf course).

I really liked the Red Squirrel - on my travels I saw plenty of tree rats but not a single Red.

Dicky.

DickyAus · Oct 20, 2025

Rugged cliffs - I'll bet the winter storms make them a bleak place.

The heron looks splendid.

Dicky.

Whereas I have a window towards S-SE, which is the right direction here. Cloudy tonight too!

Tomorrow the comet Lemmon is supposed to be seen close to the Big Dipper. Don't know if it can be seen the world around though.

meow · Oct 20, 2025

So sorry to hear you are feeling worse, Andrew.

P.S. I'm sure I posted this hours ago. Just wonder where, because here it ain't.
