Today’s bank holiday edition of K’lee and Dale’s Cosmic Photo Challenge is brought to you by K’lee’s prompt of; Colour me cosmic.
I decided that our outing with Biff, an old friend who visited for Audrey’s birthday, would make a fine and colourful subject for the challenge, because we went to the Gnome Reserve.
This charming place is a labour of love, created and run by an equally charming and slightly eccentric lady called Ann Fawcett Atkin, who has been providing a sanctuary for gnomes from all over the world for 40 years.
She is an accomplished artist and gardener, with her artworks on sale in the house, from where you collect your gnome hat before touring the reserve (so as not to make the residents uncomfortable) and where you can also buy a traditional Devon cream tea, freshly made sandwiches and local ice cream.
So we donned our colourful hats…
…and set off into the woods.
See K’lee unfurl his colours HERE.
Now let’s see what part of the spectrum you’ve chosen to highlight for us…

To get involved with the challenge, post a photo to your blog on Monday, (or just, you know, whenever) add a pingback to this post (or to K’lee’s) and don’t forget to tag your post #CosPhoChal.
Alternatively, add a link to your blog in the comments of either mine or K’lee’s post and we’ll come and check out your entry.
Any and all effects, editing, Photoshop, Instagram, morphing, collages or whatever other post production techniques you fancy are permitted, (in fact, they’re actively encouraged!) so get creative and turn your photos into artworks for the Cosmic Photo Challenge.

What a fine and colourful collection of Gnomage. I was surprised that none of the photos were pixie-lated. Happy birthday to Audrey !
