Good Monday to you!

The Cosmic Photo Challenge.

This week on The Cosmic Photo Challenge I asked you to capture what it looks like; As summer fades.

In a pleasant change from the usual uncooperative weather, it was a beautiful day yesterday when I took a walk around Marwood Hill Gardens and summer hardly seemed to be fading at all.

In fact it was so lovely, I took far more photos than I could fit in one post and, simply because I don’t have the storage space here, the vast majority of them are HERE ON MY PHOTO BLOG, so please take an extra moment to check them out.

Here is just a taster of my visit, including a video tour of the ornamental lakes, but please click the link above to check out the rest, I promise you won’t be disappointed.

How was your weekend, let’s see your images of summer’s fading glory…

The Cosmic Photo Challenge.

It was a very fortuitous theme I picked for The Cosmic Photo Challenge this week, since the only place the temperature was bearable over the weekend was; In the trees.

I took Audrey down to Rock Park to meet her friends yesterday morning, taking the opportunity to capture some greenery at the same time as enjoying the much-needed shade. (The somewhat vertiginous effect of a few shots is due to the use of a wide angle lens)

Now let’s see what arboreal delights you found for us to marvel at…

The Cosmic Photo Challenge.

Welcome to another edition of The Cosmic Photo Challenge, this week celebrating the advent of; Midsummer.

I chose to illustrate the midpoint of 2021 with some simple shots of the garden, showcasing our growing collection of clematis varieties which are already flowering well this year.

How did you do with the challenge over the weekend, let’s have a look…

I decided to go wild for this week’s Cosmic Photo Challenge, capturing photos to match the theme In bloom on the country lanes just outside Barnstaple.

How did your hunt for floral beauty go this week..?

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.

For this week’s Cosmic Photo Challenge I asked you to downsize, by giving you the prompt; On a small scale.

I decided to go on a miniature safari in the garden, finding a bumble bee on the bugle flowers, along with a snail and a spider lying in wait in the shed. I also built a new hedgehog house in the back corner of the border, which I think qualifies as a small scale log cabin.

Let’s see what details you managed to uncover over the weekend, it’s easy when you know how…

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.

Hello there, it’s Monday again which means it’s time for your weekly round up of our intrepid photo-bloggers’ exploits in the land of The Cosmic Photo Challenge.

For this week’s mission, assuming you decided to accept it, you were instructed to capture the likenesses of things; Before the leaves.

I took the opportunity of some late afternoon sunshine (the attractive but unheated kind) on Saturday, to go for a chilly stroll round Coombe Woods, the community woodland project set up with millennium funding in 1999.

I even tried a spot of creative manipulation with a shot of the trees at the end of our garden.

Did you branch out into something new at the weekend, don’t leaf us in suspense, show us whatcha got…

The Cosmic Photo Challenge.

Another weekend flies by and here we are, back at Monday morning.

But never fear, The Cosmic Photo Challenge is here to brighten your day with some organic aesthetics, derived from the prompt; Art from nature.

I used recent images captured in the woods, a nice sunset and my perfectly natural face, to create some arboreal-inspired artworks.

What artistic endeavours did nature inspire in you this week, let’s have a look at your creations…
