The Cosmic Photo Challenge.

For today’s edition of The Cosmic Photo Challenge, I asked you to capture your photos; Out in the country.

I nearly lost my gamble with the weather by waiting until Sunday to go out taking pictures, but I managed to dodge the showers for long enough to plod up Codden Hill.

I took in the spectacular views (five counties are visible on a clear day) from the foot of the memorial Jeremy Thorpe erected to his wife, Caroline in 1971, which you can share by watching the short video below.

Where did your search for rural photographic inspiration take you at the weekend?

The Cosmic Photo Challenge.

Good morning, I hope your week has started successfully, whether you are back at work or enjoying the sunshine on this glorious bank holiday Monday. But wherever you are and whatever you’re doing, it’s time to take a break and check out the sumptuous, summery images in this week’s edition of The Cosmic Photo Challenge, which today is prompted by the theme; Here comes Summer.

I took a very pleasant drive up into the hills above Barnstaple again yesterday, this time capturing the views from around the village of Heanton Punchardon. I’ve included a short video, giving a 360° view from a field below the village, so you too can enjoy the peace and quiet of the Devon countryside.

What delights did you find for us to wonder at this week, come on, we’d love to see…

The Cosmic Photo Challenge.

This week’s prompt on The Cosmic Photo Challenge asked you to get out amongst the greenery and show us what it’s like in; My green world.

I took a short drive into the countryside just outside Barnstaple, to capture some of the newly lush landscape around Westacott and in the hills above Goodleigh.

I look forward to seeing what delights you have to unveil to us this week…

The Cosmic Photo Challenge.

For your weekend homework on this week’s edition of The Cosmic Photo Challenge, I asked you (as it turns out, not very inclusively) to capture; Midsummer.

It was pointed out (thanks, eklastic) that I should have added Midwinter, to include my visitors from below the equator, so apologies for that unintentional omission.

I took a drive yesterday afternoon, while the sun battled for space between the clouds; visiting Eastleigh village with its neatly kept churchyard and picturesque cottages, capturing some panoramas of the Torridge valley and the quiet country lanes.

ow it’s your turn to show us your visions of solstice.

It’s easy to do, just follow these simple steps…

The Cosmic Photo Challenge.

It’s another lovely day at the end of the world and here we are again, documenting it all with pictures in The Cosmic Photo Challenge.

I asked you to Pick a colour on Friday as a theme for today’s challenge, which I did…

…even though most of my three photos are different colours entirely.

Audrey and I went out for our government-allocated, daily hour of exercise on Saturday, which was when it occurred to me as it does every year, that yellow really is the accent colour of Spring, (yes, I know we’re officially in summertime now) so that’s the colour I picked.

I captured a bank packed with primroses, a picture postcard country cottage with bright yellow paintwork and a rather lovely panoramic shot including “a host of golden daffodils”, as Wordsworth would no doubt have described it.

It was only when I came to post them that I realised what a small percentage of my chosen images were actually yellow. Still I stand by my choices, but see what you think, did I meet the brief?

Which hues did you choose?

Let’s see your weekend homework, it’s easy to do…

K’lee and Dale’s Cosmic Photo Challenge.

Hello and welcome to another bank holiday edition of K’lee and Dale’s Cosmic Photo Challenge, with this week’s inspiration provided by K’lee’s prompt; For the love of…

I suppose I could have picked many things which go with that theme, but since Audrey and I have been spending a lot of time on our bikes recently, touring the countryside around Barnstaple, I thought I’d go with For the love of Devon.

It’s such a beautiful part of the country, here in the balmy Southwest, warmed by the Gulf Stream and criss-crossed with cycle routes like the Tarka Trail. Here are just a few of the shots taken on our journeys over the last couple of weeks.

You can see what K’lee is loved up about HERE and it’s a real treat.

Now you can show us some of your affectionate imagery.

K’lee and Dale’s Cosmic Photo Challenge.

Just for a change, I had no problem meeting my own brief this week on K’lee and Dale’s Cosmic Photo Challenge, having set the prompt on Friday of; The beauty of Spring.

The weather even cooperated (more or less) and I captured some of the newly emerging flowers in the garden on Saturday, as well as taking a few shots on a bike ride in the nearby countryside with Audrey yesterday.

K’lee will Spring his post on you HERE.

Now it’s time to show us how you interpreted the challenge this week.
