The Cosmic Photo Challenge: In my warm place.

On By dalecooper57In photography8 Comments

Hello there, welcome to The Cosmic Photo Challenge, I hope you’re all ok and haven’t been blown away by storm Bert, which wreaked havoc across the UK at the weekend.

It certainly made a fine excuse not to leave the house for a couple of days, so I stayed; In my warm place.

When the weather is horrible and it’s cozy indoors, there’s nothing like curling up with a book and a cup of coffee while listening to good music, or even making some.

So along with catching up on the search for Stephen King’s Dark Tower in the company of Ms Hepburn and Mr Bowie, I composed a new tune to complement the meteorological conditions.

Where did you snuggle up at the weekend..?

Bbbrrrrrrr! It’s so cold, I don’t like it at all. This week on The Cosmic Photo Challenge it’s all about being; In my warm place.

Show us where you cozy up to keep the cold at bay, or maybe you’re lucky enough to be somewhere it’s comfortably warm anyway, let’s see where you go to escape the chill.

Have a great weekend, stay toasty.

The Cosmic Photo Challenge: Down in the park.

On By dalecooper57In nature photography, photography10 Comments

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..?

Hello again, everyone, it’s time for your Friday prompt on The Cosmic Photo Challenge.

Have a great weekend, see y’all soon.

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..?

Good evening, welcome to the Friday prompt for The Cosmic Photo Challenge, where this week we’re going to crowbar in one final seasonal theme to make the most of; Autumn’s golden gown.

The trees are still looking so fabulous at the moment, it seems a shame not to take advantage of their glorious colours for the sake of creativity.

So I’ll see you back here on Monday for one last autumnal show and tell, have a great weekend.

On By dalecooper57In nature photography, photography12 Comments

Ok, it’s a new week, let’s get it started in style with this week’s edition of The Cosmic Photo Challenge.

Today we’re looking for images to fit the simple prompt; Reflections.

Here are a few shots from the weekend, three of which feature the mirror-smooth surface of the river Taw in Barnstaple.

What got you in a reflective mood this week..?

Happy Friday to you, now let’s see what The Cosmic Photo Challenge has for your weekend homework today.

With only a limited number of relatively bright and clear days left before we head into the season of mist and mellow fruitfulness, we’re looking for this year’s final batch of; Reflections.

So get out and find some mirror images for Monday’s post and I’ll see y’all on the other side.

Hello there, welcome to another Monday edition of The Cosmic Photo Challenge, which this week is based on the prompt; I can see for miles.

My four offerings were taken over the weekend, at Codden Hill near Barnstaple and Clovelly harbour, both of which have very fine views.

Where did you take the long view this week..?
