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.

Hi there, I hope you had a good weekend, we’re here to ease you into Monday with The Cosmic Photo Challenge. This week we take you on a whistle stop tour of all points of the compass, with the prompt; North, South, East, West.
This gave pretty free rein in subject matter selection, since we simply had to be shooting in roughly the right direction each time, so for added precision I have included screenshots of my compass app in all the images.
I gave a friend a lift to Braunton yesterday and I took a few pictures over there, including a couple of North/South and East/West panoramas, one vertical, one horizontal. I captured a handsome looking spider in the garden and also got some nice star trails with a long exposure on Saturday night.

What treasures did your 360° photographic quest reveal for us this week?
There’s plenty of time to join in, don’t be shy, we’re a friendly bunch. ;~}

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.

Where did the weekend go? It seems like Friday was only yesterday, when I gave you the prompt for The Cosmic Photo Challenge this week; From the ground, up.
I took the literal route, with most of my photos taken at ground level, some using a wide angle, one with a timer.
Now let’s see what you’ve all been looking up to…

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…

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.
