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…

Good morning/afternoon/evening to you, I hope you’re having a good Saturday so far and are staying safe by finding plenty of shade from the extreme heat we’re allegedly expecting.
This week’s prompt on The Cosmic Photo Challenge requests that you capture images of; Birds and bees and bugs and fleas.
Ok, maybe not fleas, that’s just to explain the theme is broader than simply birds and bees and includes whatever miniature critters you like and anything that can fly is also fair game.
See you on Monday, be careful out there, have a great weekend.

Well, it’s Monday again, but at least here on The Cosmic Photo Challenge we have a weekend of sunny pictures to look back on, as the prompt was to take; A summer walk in the sunshine.
I chose to take my stroll in the woods at Venn Quarries, as it was really hot on Saturday and the dappled shade cast by the trees was a welcome relief from the early afternoon glare.
Here’s a small selection from all the photos I took, you can see the rest HERE
I like the fact I could only work out what was going on here, from the stone at the bottom of the picture.
How was your balmy weekend walk? Do share your pictures with us, it’s so easy to do…

It seems we may be in for a spot of hot weather over the weekend, so for this week’s theme on The Cosmic Photo Challenge, (with the usual caveats to those of you south of the equator) we’re going for; A summer walk in the sunshine.
It’s simple, it’s easy and it’s not terribly imaginative, but it will be enjoyable and will, I’m sure, provide the usual fabulous results from y’all.
See you on Monday for the show and tell, have a great weekend.

Good morning, I hope Monday finds you well and I wish a Happy 4th of July to our American contingent.
This week on The Cosmic Photo Challenge it’s all about how pictures are framed, as we are; Focusing on composition.
Where did your search for the ultimate framing take you, it’s time to share your results…

Another week over means another prompt for The Cosmic Photo Challenge, which this week is all about; Focusing on composition.
This leaves you with a completely open field as far as subject matter is concerned, because what we’re interested in is how you frame your pictures.
Have fun finding the best photographic proportions, enjoy your weekend and I’ll see you on Monday.

Hello there, welcome to a rather unusual edition of The Cosmic Photo Challenge, today themed around the extremely loose prompt; Indoor freestyle.
It was a strange week last week; having tested positive for Covid on Monday morning I was in isolation until yesterday evening, when I finally tested negative, although I am still feeling a bit below par. Which is all the explanation you’re getting for me having deviated slightly on my own challenge.
Since I was trapped in the flat all week, I did what I usually do to amuse myself and made some new musical creations, one of which you can experience right here, accompanied by my…photographic contribution.
The video you see below is made using only a two minute clip of me wandering around the living room and kitchen with my phone, filming anything and everything at peculiar angles, all of which then had layers and layers of effects applied to them and voila!
{Best watched in HD. Contains flashing images}
Normal service will be resumed next week, but in the meantime, let’s see what the more sensible of you produced over the weekend.

A limited prompt for The Cosmic Photo Challenge today, as I’ve been laid up with Covid for the last week; Indoor freestyle.
Basically you can take photos of whatever you like this week, but to level the playing field, as I’ll still be isolating over the weekend, your images must be captured inside.
That’s it, see you on Monday.

On Friday I set you the task of finding images for this week’s Cosmic Photo Challenge which would satisfy the prompt; Nature in black and white.
I chose half a dozen shots from the ones I took on an early Saturday morning drive, in the countryside just outside Barnstaple.
Now it’s time to reveal your monochromatic masterpieces to the world, come on, don’t be shy…
