The Cosmic Photo Challenge: Scenes from an autumn garden.

On By dalecooper57In nature photography, photography10 Comments

Good morning, everyone, I hope your weekend went well and that you’re feeling refreshed for the new week ahead. But before we all get back to work, there’s the small matter of The Cosmic Photo Challenge to take care of.

Today we are looking for some seasonal images which fit Friday’s prompt; Scenes from an autumn garden.

It was a fairly typical autumnal weekend here in Devon; mostly overcast, occasional misty rain, with the odd burst of watery sunshine in the evening. So while it was still dry on Saturday I mowed the lawn, then watched the birds and squirrels industriously foraging for food while I captured the garden’s annual shabby chic period.  ;~}

I used a wide angle to capture the borrowed grandeur of  what I like to think of as “my” trees at the end of the garden
That’ll be another acorn I have to dig up
And by the evening, there were leaves all over the lawn again

How’s it looking in your horticultural haven at the moment..?

The Cosmic Photo Challenge: Changing seasons.

Welcome to autumn on The Cosmic Photo Challenge, where this week we’re celebrating; Changing seasons.

(I left the theme intentionally broad, to accommodate our friends in southern climes)

I returned to the small community woodland above Goodleigh village, to capture the fruits and colours of autumn on a fresh and sunny afternoon.

I’d love to see what seasonal sights you found in the changing landscape where you are, it’s really easy to take part…

The Cosmic Photo Challenge: Down in the park.

Another chilly Monday morning brings another warm virtual hug from The Cosmic Photo Challenge, with images to illustrate this week’s theme; Down in the park.

I visited Sheffield Park in Sussex at the weekend, which would have made the perfect candidate for last week’s reflections prompt, too, it’s absolutely gorgeous there at the moment.

Where did your photographic escapades take you at the weekend..?

The Cosmic Photo Challenge: Autumn’s golden gown.

On By dalecooper57In nature photography, photography10 Comments

Well, hello there, welcome to a new week and a new edition of The Cosmic Photo Challenge, which today is brought to you by the prompt; Autumn’s golden gown.

The woods at the National Trust’s Arlington Court are looking especially colourful at the moment, so I went there for a stroll and it was almost impossible to take a bad picture.

For anyone not familiar with the origin of today’s prompt, here’s the classic tune I pinched it from.

What did you capture for us over the weekend..?
