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’s potentially complex prompt of; Cosmic curvature: Architectural marvels.

Well I decided to go super simple and very local, with the arch of an old stone bridge and a curving, campanula-covered slate wall from my weekend’s countryside walk with Audrey…

…and our newly-extended “cartoon pond” in the garden rockery; now complete with ferns, a stone waterfall, which will soon have a blue lobelia tumbling over the rocks (a cultivar fittingly named “waterfall“) and a backdrop of blue ceanothus covering the fence.

K’lee will be constructing his post for your viewing pleasure HERE.

Now, however, it’s your turn to show us what you’re made of.

K’lee and Dale’s Cosmic Photo Challenge.

For this week’s K’lee and Dale’s Cosmic Photo Challenge I gave you a simple brief; show us How does your garden grow?

Well at the moment, halfway through this year’s series of improvements and evolution, ours grows like this…

See what K’lee has cultivated for us HERE.

Now you can give us the tour around your very own oasis of horticultural harmony.

Cosmic Photo prompt.

I’m going to make it easy on y’all with this week’s K’lee and Dale’s Cosmic Photo Challenge prompt; because I’m lazy and short of inspiration, I picked something which always has plenty of photogenic impact; How does your garden grow?

So get out in the sunshine and find some flowers and foliage to festoon Monday’s post.

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.

After I set the theme for this week’s edition of K’lee and Dale’s Cosmic Photo Challenge, I was sure I’d be able to find many examples to fit the prompt; Unnatural patterns, but I ended up submitting just one image for your consideration.

I took the original photo at work, it’s of the pattern made by aluminium dust from the CNC machine, where it’s fallen through holes in a rubber safety mat.

I made a collage with this image and created an abstract artwork which I rather like.

See what K’lee has up his sleeve HERE later.

But now you can show what you found for us.

K’lee and Dale’s Cosmic Photo Challenge.

Today’s edition of K’lee and Dale’s Cosmic Photo Challenge is a bitter-sweet affair, dealing as is does with the theme of; Rebirth and remembrance.

K’lee set the prompt and when I saw what it was, it occurred to me that there were two things on my mind this Easter weekend; how fortunate I was to have such glorious weather to enjoy the beautiful Devon countryside with Audrey and; how much I miss my friend, Chris, who passed away almost exactly four years ago.

So I decided to go for some more shots of nature coming back to life, along with a few re-photographed, old 35mm photos of Chris from our misspent youth. (If you’ve not read it before, please check out the link above and join me in remembering a very special friend)

See what delights K’lee has to show you HERE.

And now you can share your own contributions, it’s easy when you know how…

K’lee and Dale’s Cosmic Photo Challenge.

Welcome to an artistic installment of K’lee and Dale’s Cosmic Photo Challenge, curated this week by K’lee, who chose the prompt; State of the art: Yesterday, today or why not tomorrow.

I decided to take that fairly literally and pick a few of my original “art” compositions from previous posts and create a new one specially for the occasion.

Here are some old favourites…

…and this is the latest addition, made using some graffiti I captured on last weekend’s walk with Audrey.

K’lee showcases his artistic side HERE.

Now it’s time for you to dazzle us with your aesthetic creativity.

K’lee and Dale’s Cosmic Photo Challenge.

Well, that kind of backfired.

I set the theme for this week’s K’lee and Dale’s Cosmic Photo Challenge, choosing the optimistic prompt of Fun in the sun, as I thought Audrey and I were going to the fairground which is visiting Barnstaple this week.

The weather even cooperated on Saturday; an early mist burning off to leave a cloudless blue sky by lunchtime, but the fairground wasn’t so helpful.

What we thought was going to be a nice stroll around the stalls (Audrey is a “Hook a duck”, lucky dip and bouncy castles kind of girl, not a rollercoaster thrill-seeker) turned out to be one of those mini theme park things where you pay a fiver each to queue up for hours to go on “unlimited rides”, so we ended up playing darts at the pub instead.

Sunday was less pleasant, meteorologically speaking, but we went out for an alfresco lunch and a brisk walk/scoot along the river, returning home just as the sun made a late appearance in time for a spot of trampolining.

You can see one of those clever full 360° shots of a bouncing Audrey AT THIS LINK and K’lee’s contribution is HERE.

Now you can show us what you get up to in your downtime…

Cosmic Photo prompt.

Not quite so late for this week’s prompt on K’lee and Dale’s Cosmic Photo Challenge, even though I didn’t actually make the Friday deadline, it was close.

K’lee takes the reins for this one and he’s chosen the theme; Written in stone, stonework and structures old and new.

So if you fancy capturing some of the masons art this weekend, you can show us the results on Monday.

K’lee and Dale’s Cosmic Photo Challenge.

It’s time to get technical on K’lee and Dale’s Cosmic Photo Challenge, because I set a theme on Friday of; Technology.

I had no real idea of what direction I might take that prompt, but I ended up getting up close and personal with some digital innards and a lightbulb.

I know, pretty simple, but I’ve always liked the miniaturised architectural look of electronic components and lightbulbs are fascinating objects in their own right, right?

K’lee will provide tech support HERE later.

Now you can show us what you captured this week, it’s easy enough to do…
