For this week’s edition of The Cosmic Photo Challenge, I asked you to consider the artistic possibilities inherent in; Shadows and silhouettes.
I’m sure all you fabulously creative folks have some wonderful images in store, but to get the ball rolling, here are my interpretations of the prompt…








…now let’s see yours.
We’d love to have you join us on our weekly photographic odyssey and it’s so easy to take part, just follow the instructions below.

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.

Another belated prompt for The Cosmic Photo Challenge, but then I’m sure y’all are used to that by now, so I won’t bother with excuses.
Today’s creative inspiration will hopefully be provided by variations on the theme of; Shadows and silhouettes.
That should give you plenty of scope for your artistic endeavours this weekend, so get snapping and I’ll catch you back here on Monday.
In the meantime, stay, safe, wash your hands, be good to each other.

Hello and welcome to another brief excursion into the world of nonsensical redefinition, with this week’s entry in the alternative dictionary;
“Badinage” – Growing old disgracefully.

One more week into the start of our “new normal” and one more entry in the annuls of The Cosmic Photo Challenge, this edition being directed by the suggestion that your submissions should feature; Shades of grey.
I have chosen a selection of photos from in and around Barnstaple, some of which are original and some I have edited for monochromatic effect, including one composite image from a few years ago.










Now let’s see how you were inspired by the prompt over the weekend, it couldn’t be easier to take part…

Apologies for the lateness of the hour, I kept getting sidetracked and completely forgot to supply you with a prompt for The Cosmic Photo Challenge this week.
So let’s make it an easy one today; Shades of grey.
That’s it, time to get monochromatic for Monday and show us something less colourful than usual.
Enjoy the rest of your weekend and I’ll see y’all in a couple of days.

Hello from a rainy Wednesday and welcome to another entry in the alternative dictionary;

The time has come once again to light the blue touch-paper on The Cosmic Photo Challenge, stand well back and see what explodes out of the prompt; Feel the heat.
I spent another weekend in the blazing sunshine out in the garden, where we had a barbeque on Saturday…




…and yesterday I spotted this little chap enjoying a dust bath.


Now it’s time for you to showcase your contributions…

This week’s prompt for The Cosmic Photo Challenge is tempting fate, weather-wise, but I’m keeping my fingers crossed that it doesn’t jinx everyone’s weekend; Feel the heat.
And that’s it, I don’t think you need any further explanation, so enjoy the rain lovely sunshine for a couple of days and I’ll be here to accept your contributions on Monday.

A new WordPress blog by an old blogging friend, please go over and check out her mouth-watering selection of baking, say hi and give her a follow…

Yesterday was a good day for many reasons.
First, I got to spend some time with my family: my sons, my mom, two of my brothers, and my older sister and her husband, sitting outside while physically distanced in the gorgeous late spring weather, enjoying lively conversation, many laughs, and a delicious array of homemade baked goods.
If there is anything good to say about this pandemic, it would be that it has brought my family back together.

Secondly, despite this gathering taking place at my house, I resisted the urge to go last minute shopping for things like I usually do, those little extra touches I convince myself are essential but really aren’t, stuff like flowers, half & half, and fresh fruit. So, we made do with whatever I already had on hand here. And it was more than plenty.
Thirdly, I am happy to announce that my laptop’s…
