Apologies if today’s entry in the alternative dictionary is a little Brit-centric, but that’s just the way the cookie biscuit crumbles;
“Backgammon” – To vote Tory.

Cosmic Photo prompt.
For this week’s edition of The Cosmic Photo Challenge I’d like your imagination to take the wheel and turn; The everyday into the unusual.
Seems to me like another obvious opportunity for some cryptic creations, but maybe you have your own ideas for some otherworldly imagery, I look forward to finding out on Monday.

The Cosmic Photo Challenge.
Hello there, I hope your weekend went well and that (at least in the UK) you are enjoying this extra day off, complete with glorious sunshine.
This week’s prompt was; An interesting perspective, which can be taken a number of ways. Whether you define it as intentionally looking at things from an interesting angle, simply seeing them from an unusual standpoint, or creating intriguing perspectives yourselves, all your ideas are welcome.
I’m a little later than usual posting today, because I chose to wait until this morning to go hunting for photographic inspiration. I got up early before there were too many people around and drove up onto the hills overlooking the river valley in which Barnstable sits, to capture some images of the wind farm.
I also got some shots from a road bridge across the River Taw, usually a little dangerous to negotiate at peak traffic times, along with a selection from the countryside beneath the turbines.
Oh, and some cows, just because.
Now let’s see your slant on the theme…

The Cosmic Photo Challenge.
For today’s apaturial adventure, I asked you to come up with something for The Cosmic Photo Challenge which featured something Symmetrical.
Well, not being able to get out and about much, I spent time making a few imaginary buildings and pictures with a mirrored element to them.
Now it’s your turn to show us what kind of symmetry you captured over the weekend.

K’lee and Dale’s Cosmic Photo Challenge.
I set this week’s theme for K’lee and Dale’s Cosmic Photo Challenge, choosing to turn everything; Inside out/outside in/upside down for a change.
As usual, I plucked that out of the air with no real clue what to do with it…until yesterday morning while I was sitting in the small garden shed that serves as a shelter from the rain, listening to the birds and drinking my first coffee of the day.
It occurred to me that I was sitting inside, looking into the outside and things kind of snowballed from there.
I took several photos of doorways; from the entrance and stairway of our building, to our front door, the kitchen, living room, bathroom and even my car.
Then I spent an entertaining hour or so, switching the view from each door, like something out of a pan-dimensional sci-fi story.
Here are the original shots…
…and these are the alternate universe versions:
See which way up K’lee wanted to go HERE.
Now you can flip us some snaps of your own.

One liner Wednesday: Alternative dictionary.
Wednesday means word day and today’s re-imagined interpretation in the alternative dictionary is another misspelled missive on modern life;
“Feasting” – That pesky hidden charge they hit you with, just when you think you have a bargain.

K’lee and Dale’s Cosmic Photo Challenge
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…

One liner Wednesday: Alternative dictionary.
Today’s alternative definition takes us into the world of pop culture faux-intellectualism, because you can get a degree in almost anything these days;
“Cardiology” – The study of being famous for being famous.

K’lee and Dale’s Cosmic Photo Challenge.
Today’s post is more about artistic interpretation than photographic precision, with K’lee in the driving seat for this week’s edition of K’lee and Dale’s Cosmic Photo Challenge, leaving us the esoteric prompt of; If you could see into the heart of me.
Well, it was obvious to me that this would have to feature my family; Rhonda and I met in person for the first time almost exactly five years ago and, next week, she and Audrey will make their first trip back to America since they moved over here.
They are both very excited at the prospect of catching up with friends and family, especially meeting their first grandson/nephew for the first time, a visit delayed for over a year by financial constraints and intractable bureaucracy. It will also be the first time we’ve been apart as a family for five years, so they will of course be very much in my thoughts for the three weeks they’re away.
That seems like a lot of firsts for today, but it would hardly be a first to just post photos of my family, so I thought outside the box (well, outside in the garden) and made a little stop frame animated gif to illustrate K’lee’s theme as literally as possible, painstakingly constructing it from just two photos and a heart sticker.
You can see K’lee’s heartfelt and artistic post HERE.
But now it’s time for you to show us yours…
