Good afternoon, sorry I’m so late, I had to collect a transatlantic visitor from the airport and today’s prompt for The Cosmic Photo Challenge completely slipped my mind.
Anyway, now I’m here, let’s level the playing field and make this week’s theme; In the evening.
That way, we all have the same number of opportunities between now and Monday to capture something appropriate.
Have a great weekend, I’ll see you all back here to start the week with some dusky sundowners.

Your mission on The Cosmic Photo Challenge today, if you choose to accept it, is to provide us with; Action shots.
I have to admit to taking advantage of hosting this week, already having some photos in mind when I set the prompt, but I did conduct one or two new experiments, too.
Most of my shots concern the always entertaining herring gull chicks at work, specifically their eagerness to consume any morsels of food on offer.
They’re very keen on fruit loaf and bagels, here’s two siblings fighting over scraps…
…and here’s a sequence I like, particularly for the expression of concentration on the mum as she watches the bread from behind her chick.
Then there’s this verrrrrrrry sloooowwww action shot, taken in the hope of capturing the Perseid meteor shower.
Alas, all I caught were stars, still pretty cool, though.
And here are a couple of new long exposures, made using an old Zippo lighter
Now let’s see yours, it’s time for lights, camera, action!

A slightly later prompt for The Cosmic Photo Challenge than I’ve managed recently, but I’m sure you’ll still have time to find some fabulous photos to go with the theme; Action shots.
To clarify; I’m talking about pictures with a bit of velocity to them, something which gives the impression of movement or speed.
I’ll see you on Monday for the big reveal, have a great weekend.

The march of time brings another weekend to an end, but it also brings with it The Cosmic Photo Challenge, this week themed around the prompt; In the morning light.
The forecasters were spot on with the weather, predicting the scorching temperatures which baked the UK right the way through last week, so I was glad for the chance to grab my photos early, before retreating to find what shade I could in the garden.
I captured my images on the drive back from taking Rhonda to work on Saturday, stopping in the village of Swimbridge (birth place of the very first Jack Russell terrier) for a wander round the churchyard.
What did you find on your early start at the weekend?

Whew, what a scorcher it’s going to be this weekend, the perfect weather to capture some images for The Cosmic Photo Challenge, inspired by today’s prompt; In the morning light.
So get up and out early to avoid the worst of the heat and provide us with some pictures of the day dawning for Monday’s post.
Have a fabulous weekend, stay cool and hydrated and I’ll catch y’all on the other side.

Good morning, it’s nearly the end of the week and time for an early prod towards creativity, as it’s theme setting day on The Cosmic Photo Challenge.
I know, I’m unusually prompt with your prompt this week, having been prompted by a flash of inspiration which suggested the idea of; North, South, East, West.
Yes, another multi viewpoint challenge, whereby you supply one picture for each of the four main points of the compass. They don’t have to be all taken from the same spot, or even on the same day, just as long as each time you click that shutter, you’re focusing in one of those four primary directions.
Have a fabulous weekend, I’ll see you all again on Monday.

Hello again, I hope you all had a pleasant weekend, even if it was as grey and damp as mine. But even when skies are grey, The Cosmic Photo Challenge is here to brighten your Monday, whatever the weather.
Today our theme is Summer collage, because editing is just as much of an art form as photography in its way.
So, I took this panoramic shot on the road to Fremington Quay last week…
…and I added parts of 10 other photos to it, from places I’ve visited this summer, to create this landscape of the imagination.
What did you concoct for us this week?

For this week’s prompt on The Cosmic Photo Challenge, we’re going to get artistic, with a twist on an old favourite; Summer collage.
So get creative this weekend and combine two or more images into more than a sum of their parts, to evoke a summery atmosphere for Monday’s post.
Have a great weekend fingers crossed for good weather.

Hey, how’s it going? Time for your weekly creative nudge towards this coming Monday’s edition of The Cosmic Photo Challenge, which will feature images to illustrate the prompt; From the ground, up.
What does it mean? How should I know, they’re your pictures. As ever, it’s up to you how you interpret the prompt and I look forward to seeing the results next week.
Have a great weekend.

Whew, that was a hot weekend and it’s due to get hotter, so I hope you’re staying safe and keeping hydrated.
What’s hot right now is The Cosmic Photo Challenge, which this week is concentrating its collective global lens on; Birds and bees and bugs and fleas.
Or, to put it another way, anything with more than four legs, and/or wings.
Even the bees seemed too tired to fly, although we did experience the joy of “flying-ant day” on Saturday, when hundreds of the little pests sprout wings and vacate the nest in search of more desirable accommodation.
At work, we’ve had the daily entertainment of watching herring gull chicks fledging from their nests on the roof; here’s one of the first to make the perilous drop, who has been named “Steve”…
…and here’s one of his parents, being unusually reticent at taking food from strangers, namely some of my coffee break muffin.
I should add that, five minutes after he’d graciously accepted my home cooked muffin, I turned my back for literally ten seconds and the little bastard stole my bagel.
Hence this photo of him and a friend, noisily registering their displeasure as I refused to part with any the following day.
They’re becoming so used to having us around, there was even one waiting at the door when I got to work the other day.
Yesterday I took a walk along the Tarka Trail at Wrafton to the wildfowl reserve, where there were 8 fluffy grey cygnets lazily paddling about in the stifling heat, along with some equally lacklustre ducks.
Now it’s time to see the fruits of your photographic labours of love, show us whatcha got…
