Still on the Internet, Still a Nobody
A very merry Christmas to you all and best wishes for the new year.
Here is the full set of pictures I took on a Christmas Eve walk around the National Trust’s Watersmeet property on Exmoor, some of which were used for this week’s edition of The Cosmic Photo Challenge .
Hello there, I hope your weekend went well and you had the opportunity to capture some images to meet the brief for this week’s theme on The Cosmic Photo Challenge, which on Friday I set as; First hints of Spring.
I took a wander round Appledore on Saturday afternoon and stopped to snap a couple of my favourite bridge views first thing yesterday morning.
The ship’s anchor on Appledore harbour wall has been covered in knitted poppies by local residents, commemorating the war dead, some of whom no doubt lie in the graveyard which affords such glorious views of the estuary.
Now you can show us how Spring has sprung around your neck of the woods.

Hello and congratulations on making it to 2021 for the first edition of The Cosmic Photo Challenge in this new decade.
On Friday I asked you to come up with photos which illustrated the prompt; A cold start.
I have to admit that I cheated slightly, in that I’d already taken my photos when I set the theme, but I think that’s occasionally the host’s prerogative, isn’t it?
Anyway, here are my shots of a very cold start to the first day of the year, taken on a early morning drive and a brisk walk around the park; including a couple more from the deserted road bridges across the rivers Taw and Torridge.
So, let’s see what chilly images you captured to begin this year’s photographic adventures…

Another week nearer the end of 2020 and another edition of The Cosmic Photo Challenge, today brought to you by the prompt; Christmas is coming.
It just so happens that this was the weekend our tree went up and yesterday I also finally got the crisp, sunny winter morning I was hoping for a couple of weeks ago.
I only ventured out long enough to snap a shot of the heavy frost on my car, because it was very cold…
…before taking a walk in the afternoon and capturing a beautiful sunset reflected on the still waters of the river, one of which takes on a Christmas tree-like appearance, when rotated 90°.
How festively inspired was your weekend? Time for you to share your pictures and let everybody see for themselves.

When I set the theme for The Cosmic Photo Challenge on Friday, I was fully expecting to have a couple of frosty mornings to go with the prompt; The first breath of Winter.
But as usual the English weather didn’t cooperate, (not that I’m complaining on this occasion) and yesterday was a lovely sunny day to take a walk along the opposite side of the River Taw for a change.
I followed the Tarka Trail cycle path, under the tall road bridge I walked over two weeks ago, down to the flood plain, where the receding tide and calm water made for some excellent reflections.
What did you find to impress us with at the weekend? Come on, it’s time to show ‘n’ tell…

For a picturesque way to start this week, The Cosmic Photo Challenge has requested that you furnish us with images on the theme of; If you go down in the woods today.
So I did just that. On Saturday I went out to the wooded grounds of Arlington Court and yesterday I took a sunny stroll along the banks of the River Yeo, capturing trees, plants and water at their autumnal best.
{I took so many pictures, there wasn’t room for them all in one post, but you can see the whole lot HERE, ON MY PHOTO BLOG}
Then I came to a fork in the road…
Which way to go..?
This way, I think…
Now let’s have a look at your arboreal adventures…

Good morning/afternoon/evening, wherever you may be and welcome to the regular Monday post of The Cosmic Photo Challenge.
On Friday I asked you to use your creative talents to illustrate the theme of a wet weekend, since that was clearly what we were in for in our neck of the woods.
But alas, having wasted the chances of a horrible Saturday, hiding inside from the rain and finally accepting I’d have to get out in the inclement weather yesterday instead, Sunday was dry!
I decided I’d have to settle for water flowing horizontally, rather than falling vertically, so I took a quick drive from Instow back to Barnstaple, via Fremington Quay and captured some shots along the very windy Torridge and Taw rivers.
How did your weekend pan out?
Come on, don’t be shy, let’s all have a look…

Monday, the day I show you mine and y’all show me yours, in The Cosmic Photo Challenge, for which I provided the following prompt; Spring has sprung.
Dodging the intermittent bad weather, Audrey and I took two walks at the weekend, one along the River Taw and one down a short stretch of the smaller Yeo valley where the river runs through the woods.
Now let’s see what seasonal treats you have in store for us…

As promised, the rest of our week’s walks along the riverbank, in photos.
Audrey was on half term last week, so while I was off work we went for a walk each day, in Barnstaple’s Rock Park and along the banks of the river Taw.
It got Audrey off YouTube for an hour or so, she got an ice cream out of it and I got some nice photos into the bargain.
I hope you had a pleasant weekend and the weather allowed you to get out and about, specifically I hope you were able to take A walk in the park, since that was the theme on K’lee and Dale’s Cosmic Photo Challenge this week.
I did have an ulterior motive, I admit; my physiotherapist has told me I need to take a walk at least once a day, (yes, amazingly, I’m still off work with nerve damage, sustained from dodgem-related whiplash) and this week coincides with Audrey’s half term holiday, so we took a walk round the park and along the banks of the river Taw every day this week.
I did of course take more photos than the few I’m posting today, making this a teaser for a Photo Sans Frontiers post I will link to on here tomorrow.
K’lee will take us for a walk HERE later.
Now, what did you see, down in the park?
