Good morning, everyone, welcome to another week and to yet another Monday edition of The Cosmic Photo Challenge, where this week we’re; Looking for shade.

I thought I was going to be stumped by the weather again, because it was overcast all day Saturday and, despite the oppressive heat, it was still very grey yesterday morning. But by lunchtime the sun had burned off all the clouds, so I went for a stroll along the river Yeo.

There really is nothing like the cool, dappled shade beneath trees on a riverbank.

One enterprising family has taken the design concept of “borrowed landscape” to its logical conclusion, by extending the garden right down to the water’s edge from their overhanging deck.

I’m very envious.

Further down the river there’s a deep pool where it turns a corner, making a great place for a rope swing over the water.

Where did you go to cool off at the weekend?
