Picture this: Historic Sussex.

I visited my hometown of Crowborough for a couple of days last week, primarily to see my mum, but I managed to fit in a bit of exploring while I was there.

I’d seen photos of Saxonbury Tower before, but never in real life, so I thought I’d take a drive out into the country and see it for myself, along with two smaller follies, Eridge Park Towers; both of which were originally part of the Neville family country estate.

The larger tower now houses a mobile phone mast, which is hidden inside the shaft of the building and you’d never know it was there…Apart from the loudly humming cooling unit bolted to the front door!

Anyway, now you can only make out that particular eyesore in one of the longer shots, I’ve edited it rather neatly out of the rest. ;~}

The Cosmic Photo Challenge.

Good morning and welcome to another Monday show and tell on The Cosmic Photo Challenge, this week brought to you by the prompt; The arrival of autumn. (with the usual caveat to anyone in the southern hemisphere, of course..)

I had planned to take a walk along the Tarka Trail from Fremington Quay yesterday, but when I drove up there I found the access road closed due to a running event, so I continued on to Instow and captured the start of autumn on the beach instead.

I hope your weekend went well and I’d love to see what the change of season looks like in your part of the world…

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…

The Cosmic Photo Challenge.

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…
