The Cosmic Photo Challenge: Looking up.

On By dalecooper57In photography9 Comments

Welcome to a new week, heralded by The Cosmic Photo Challenge and my insistence that you spent the weekend; Looking up.

The weather has been a bit of a mixed bag over the last few days, but I managed to dodge the rain often enough to capture a selection of upwardly inclined images.

Looking up by looking down

What did you discover by raising your point of view this week..?

The Cosmic Photo Challenge: First signs of Spring.

On By dalecooper57In nature photography, photography7 Comments

Good morning, welcome to another Monday’s edition of The Cosmic Photo Challenge, today featuring pictures inspired by the prompt; First signs of Spring.

I had to make do with a misty morning photo walk on Saturday, the Spring sunshine apparently unaware of the change in meteorological classification. But there were plenty of indications that nature was now fully awake.

How has the seasonal change affected your surroundings..?

Greetings, it’s time for The Cosmic Photo Challenge to provide you with some focus over the weekend, via this week’s prompt.

As of March 1st it is, metrologically speaking, the start of a new season, so it’s time to roll out an annual theme; First signs of Spring.

Let’s see how the year is progressing in your part of the world, now the days are getting longer and the green shoots of new life are appearing.

Have fun exploring nature as it awakens and I’ll catch you back here on Monday.

The Cosmic Photo Challenge: The path to…

On By dalecooper57In nature photography, photography12 Comments

Good morning, everyone, I hope you are all well, now here’s The Cosmic Photo Challenge to ease you into a new week.

Today’s pictures were inspired by the theme; The path to…

Any and all routes, thoroughfares, highways and byways are eligible, we’re not sticklers for fine details here at the CosPhoChal.

Despite having at least one sunny walk at the weekend, I chose to capture my selection of avenues and alleyways on a misty, muddy morning for a change.

Now it’s time for you to lead us down your chosen path…

Oops, sorry, forgot again. But I’m here now, so let me quickly give you the theme for The Cosmic Photo Challenge.

On Monday, I’d like to see some images of; The path to…

We’re using “path” in its most general sense here, so paths, roads, pavements, passageways, lanes, corridors, any sort of obviously delineated routes are allowed.

Have a great weekend, see you on the other side.

The Cosmic Photo Challenge: What’s flowering where you are?

On By dalecooper57In nature photography, photography12 Comments

Good morning, welcome to another week and another edition of The Cosmic Photo Challenge, which today is themed around the prompt; What’s flowering where you are?

Despite, or possibly because of, the more or less constant rain we’ve had in the UK since the start of the year, it seems like a lot of plants are flowering early, so here’s a selection of local blooms taken at the weekend.

Now let’s see what floral offerings you have to show us…

Hello and a happy Friday to you all, I’m here to give you your homework, in the form of a prompt for The Cosmic Photo Challenge.

Despite the continuing inclement weather, I’ve noticed quite a few signs of new life sprouting in the fields and hedgerows recently, so let’s have another round of; What’s flowering where you are?

I think that one is about as self-explanatory as they come, so I’ll leave you to it and wish you an enjoyable weekend, see you on Monday.

The Cosmic Photo Challenge: After the rain.

On By dalecooper57In nature photography, photography9 Comments

Hi, I hope you’re all rested and ready to take part in The Cosmic Photo Challenge this fine Monday morning, following the (slightly late) prompt; After the rain.

It was such an unexpected relief from the more or less continuous downpour we’ve been experiencing lately, that the sunny(ish) weather at the weekend was actually trending on UK social media. I took my pictures on a couple of my daily, rather muddy walks around the countryside, where the sound of running water could be heard almost everywhere, but the sunshine made all the difference.

I include this shot for the creatively stacked tyre Minion in the background

Now let’s see your post-precipitation pictures…

Good morning, sorry I forgot yesterday, but now I’m here to give you your prompt for The Cosmic Photo Challenge.

Here in the UK this morning, there’s a strange alien object glowing in the sky which we haven’t seen since last year. Yes, after 2026’s almost constant precipitation so far, the sun has finally graced us with its presence, so we’re looking at the world; After the rain.

Apologies if that’s a slightly too British theme for you, but you are welcome to delve into your archives to meet the brief if required.

I’ll see you all on Monday, have a great weekend, stay dry.
