The Cosmic Photo Challenge: Early one morning.

On By dalecooper57In photography9 Comments

Hello, everybody, welcome to the final bank holiday before Christmas and, more importantly, The Cosmic Photo Challenge.

This week we’re looking for images which fit the prompt; Early one morning.

I was at Honeyfest over the weekend, the annual music festival of “the best pub in the known universe”, The Barge Inn at Honeystreet.

Two of these shots were captured at 6.30 on Saturday morning, as I made my way across a silent campsite on my way to the showers. The other was from very early Sunday morning, when I was sitting around a fire pit with some local musicians.

Which photographic worms did you early birds snap up over the weekend..?

The Cosmic Photo Challenge: Morning light.

Good Monday morning to you, I hope you had a nice weekend, now let’s get to the important business of The Cosmic Photo Challenge.

This week we’re all about that magical time of day when you can enjoy; Morning light.

I thought we were in for a grey day yesterday, but by 8 o’clock the sun was already burning off the clouds and I went for a stroll in the country lanes just outside Barnstaple.

How was your early start, did you capture the dawn for us?

The Cosmic Photo Challenge: Morning has broken.

On By dalecooper57In nature photography, photography13 Comments

It’s the second bank holiday edition of The Cosmic Photo Challenge this month and today we’re inspired by the prompt; Morning has broken.

I captured most of my pictures on the country lanes outside the village of Landkey when I took Rhonda to work on Saturday morning. The last shot is from our garden, featuring the clay mushroom cap I made during the week, to sit on the stem of a frost damaged cordyline plant. 

What did you find on your early start at the weekend..?

Where did the weekend go?

Oh well, it might be Monday again, but at least that means it’s time for The Cosmic Photo Challenge, which is inspired this week by the prompt; Lighter mornings/longer evenings.

I have a couple each from each end of the day, along with one of me getting legless in the garden yesterday evening.

Mornings…

…and evenings.

Now let’s see what you captured for us this week…

The Cosmic Photo Challenge: It’s Spring!

On By dalecooper57In nature photography, photography18 Comments

This week on The Cosmic Photo Challenge we’re finally celebrating the arrival of a new season, because; It’s Spring!

I thought I was being hopelessly optimistic when I mentioned “sunshine photos” in Friday’s post, but yesterday was nice enough to sit out in the garden all day. I got out and about while the world was having a Sunday lie-in and captured that unique morning light.

The Cosmic Photo Challenge: As summer fades.

On By dalecooper57In nature photography, photography12 Comments

I was fully expecting a weekend of dreary weather, as per the forecast, hence the theme on The Cosmic Photo Challenge this week being based on the prompt; As summer fades.

But nature confounded satellite technology once again, with very pleasant weather on both days, including this fabulous Exmoor sunrise, from early yesterday morning after taking Rhonda to work.

Maybe there’s hope for summer, yet.

How did your mission to capture the changing seasons go?

The Cosmic Photo Challenge: In the morning light.

On By dalecooper57In nature photography, photography18 Comments

The march of time brings another weekend to an end, but it also brings with it The Cosmic Photo Challenge, this week themed around the prompt; In the morning light.

The forecasters were spot on with the weather, predicting the scorching temperatures which baked the UK right the way through last week, so I was glad for the chance to grab my photos early, before retreating to find what shade I could in the garden.

I captured my images on the drive back from taking Rhonda to work on Saturday, stopping in the village of Swimbridge (birth place of the very first Jack Russell terrier) for a wander round the churchyard.

What did you find on your early start at the weekend?
