Based upon yesterday's poll, let's give this monthly thread a go and see if it takes hold. If not, no harm, no foul.
Phone pics? Yes. DSLR pics? Yes. Point and shoot pics? Yes. Out of focus pics? Yes. Award-worthy pics? Yes. Pics of your children, grandchildren, spouse, partner? Yes. Your holiday/vacation, your food, flowers, etc...yes. Your dog, cat, llama, cow, chickens? Yes!
No rules other than:
1. Please be considerate of others when posting.
and
2. Please either host your images elsewhere (such as postimages.org) or use Tapatalk to upload so that we do not use the little bandwidth available for this forum.
Each month's thread will have directions for posting from postimages and Tapatalk in the first post.
To use postimages.org to host your photos (which literally, despite the directions below, takes just a minute):
1. Make an account on their site. if you're concerned about privacy, choose something other than your real name as your "nickname" on the site.
2. Upload your images to the site. Just click on the "choose images" button, navigate to where you keep your photos on your device (phone, table, laptop, or desktop), and select the images you want to upload. You can upload them one at a time, or select many to upload at one time. If you have problems with this, please google for instructions how to do so from your device.
3. Select "my images" at the top of your screen, and click into the image you'd like to share.
4. Copy the "HOTLINK FOR FORUMS" url for that photo, then paste it into a reply here and VOILA. You are done!
To use Tapatalk to post your images (from monklady)
Even if you never use it for reading the board, or for posting anything else, it is the easiest way to post photos. You just click the photo icon after you’ve opened the reply box, choose your photo, choose your size (the one I just posted is “small”), wait for it to upload, click “reply”, done. If I can do it with no problem then anyone can do it. 🤪
Also, it would be nice if you told us a bit about your image and/or supply some context.

I'll start this month's thread off with a pic I took yesterday. After a several year hiatus from my DSLR, I picked my camera up again the beginning of last month. My favorite subject is flowers, specifically close up/macro shots. My camera is 12 years old and still works like a champ, hurray! And my lenses are also happy, double hurray!
I am a fiend for flowers and you can often find me wandering parks and public gardens in the spring and summer. I also often buy perennials at the nursery for the specific purpose of photographing them. This columbine is one of those plants. I will give it away when it's done blooming this year, as I don't do pink in my terrace "garden."
