Hello there, I hope your weekend went well and you had the opportunity to capture some images to meet the brief for this week’s theme on The Cosmic Photo Challenge, which on Friday I set as; First hints of Spring.
I took a wander round Appledore on Saturday afternoon and stopped to snap a couple of my favourite bridge views first thing yesterday morning.
The ship’s anchor on Appledore harbour wall has been covered in knitted poppies by local residents, commemorating the war dead, some of whom no doubt lie in the graveyard which affords such glorious views of the estuary.
Now you can show us how Spring has sprung around your neck of the woods.

To get involved with the challenge; check out the Cosmic Photo Prompt each Friday, then post a photo (or photos) on your blog the following Monday, with a pingback link to my Monday post.
Tag your posts with #CosPhoChal.
Any and all effects, editing, Photoshop, Instagram, morphing, collages, animation, gifs, 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.

You were a few days too early with your challenge. I was out cycling today and I found hints of spring. So I offer a second entry: https://picturesimperfectblog.wordpress.com/2021/03/02/theyre-back/

Those knitted poppies on the anchor was unusual. I’ve never seen anything like it. I especially liked the light shining through the yellow daffodils.

I’m having a hard time picking between views of the anchor but after a few minutes the photos stalled during loading. Here’s my contribution posted while we’re under a wind warning and a snow squall watch:

The snow squall watch was upgraded to a warning minutes after I posted.

I just tried going for a walk and got about 12 yards by which time I had slipped three times. Everywhere is a sheet of ice under a layer of snow.
