dalecooper57 may or may not necessarily be my real name, although I couldn't swear to it. An aging hippy living in Devon, I do all this stuff (and I do mean everything - blog, animation, music, photography, the lot) on my lovely smartphone because I started like that, and now I'm too stubborn to get a computer. I don't have a theme, because I don't see why I'd want to talk about the same thing all the time, so why only write about one thing? So if you like eclecticism, humour, nonsense, opinionated ranting, and occasionally educational stuff, you've come to the right place. Any and all feedback is welcome, both positive and negative, on the content, style and overall look of the blog. You keep following me, I'll keep telling you stuff, ok? Cheers, dalecooper57

Cosmic Photo prompt.

I’m in the driving seat for this week’s K’lee and Dale’s Cosmic Photo Challenge, with a theme that is only slightly out of date, since Halloween was last week; Spooky.

So go and look for some spine tingling images to creep us out with in Monday’s post, it’s so easy to do…

K’lee and Dale’s Cosmic Photo Challenge.

Today’s edition of K’lee and Dale’s Cosmic Photo Challenge is brought to you by K’lee and his prompt; Autumn leaves/autumn light.

I chose to go with a straightforward approach this week and took a stroll round the park with Audrey, (who did her best tree impression) capturing a rather damp Sunday morning along the river.

Take a leaf out of K’lee’s book HERE.

Now let’s see your seasonal offerings.

K’lee and Dale’s Cosmic Photo Challenge.

I’d like to think my resigned prompt for this week’s K’lee and Dale’s Cosmic Photo Challenge was the catalyst for an unexpected change in the weather yesterday, but I admit it’s unlikely.

As a reaction to a wet and windy week, my theme on Friday was; Sun, sea and sand, which I planned to illustrate with some of the many suitable photos I have in my archives.

Imagine my surprise, then, when I woke up yesterday morning to a bright and beautiful, sunny Autumn day. Just the kind of day for a walk on the beach in fact.

So Audrey and I went for a highly enjoyable stroll along Instow beach and harbour front at low tide.

And if you click on this final photo, you can take one of those fancy 360° panorama tours of the harbour.

Bathe in the light of K’lee’s sunny disposition HERE later.

Now let’s see if you had any luck with the weather round your way.

Cosmic Photo prompt.

It’s my turn at the helm of K’lee and Dale’s Cosmic Photo Challenge this week and, on this wet and windy Saturday afternoon, I think we could all do with some sunshine in our lives, so I’m choosing the unseasonal prompt of; Sun, sea and sand.

I know, call me contrary, but who wants to go out in that to take photos?

So plunder your archives, fly to sunnier climes, or maybe you actually live somewhere it isn’t raining already, and provide us with some rays to bathe in on Monday.

K’lee and Dale’s Cosmic Photo Challenge.

Hello and welcome to the start of a brand new week which, as ever, means another foray into the optical playground we call K’lee and Dale’s Cosmic Photo Challenge.

This week our adventure is hosted by my transatlantic pal, K’lee, who gave us the creative prod of (to give it its full name); Cosmically circular/cosmically square.

I decided I would create a one-off digital artwork to meet K’lee’s brief, using this ordinary photo of the square tiles in our kitchen.

But that turned into two when, after a considerable amount of mucking about, I produced this rather fetching abstract image…

…which eventually morphed into this extremely cosmic masterpiece.

K’lee will put his round photographic peg in a square post HERE.

But for now it’s time for you to show us your curves and angles…
