I was in charge of setting the theme for this week’s K’lee and Dale’s Cosmic Photo Challenge, giving you the prompt of; The end of summer.
*****DON’T FORGET: There’s still time for y’all to submit your suggestions for next week’s challenge.*****
There are many directions in which we could take that idea, but I took my inspiration from the busy buzzing of insects in the garden. There were countless bees and hoverflies rushing around to make the most of the weekend’s glorious sunshine, as they collected what remaining pollen they could find. I also spotted a tiny snail, sunbathing on one of our final gazania flowers.
See just how summery K’lee is HERE and be amazed by his creative stylings.
Now it’s your turn to make this drizzly Monday sunny and bright…
*****
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.

Thanks, my friend, I like me some insectography (new word!) and I was spoilt for choice on Saturday.
Wanna get together via Twitter one day midweek and discuss the fine suggestions from our lovely readers?

Nice to know you had the weather cooperating! Yeah! Forgive me, I hardly use my Twitter, but I’ll load it up again on my phone so I can make it a bit easier. I’m down for whatever way you want to take it. We’ll figure it out and hopefully get some feedback from our supporters!

Well it’s not really fair to pick one “in public”, so to speak, but we can use e-mail if you prefer..?

Here is my post with the amended link: https://picturesimperfectblog.wordpress.com/2019/09/13/polite-request-of-a-gardener-at-the-end-of-summer/
And my idea for a prompt was a combination of a poem with a photo (or several). Poem-graphy?

One, possibly stupid, question: Friday or Saturday posting suits me personally best so by necessity I link to your first posting. I could change the link to here, or mention my contribution a second time, or just leave it as is. What works best for you?
And by the way, I love al those busy bees. Great macros. But the snail is just “darling”!

Yes, please repost your link here so anyone visiting the challenge can come see you, too.
And if you think of a prompt for next week’s post before Friday, feel free to leave that here as well.

Of course you already suggested a poetic prompt, so add that here, too.
