Cosmic Photo Challenge: Repetition

Dale offers “repetition” for this week’s Cosmic Photo Challenge.

Looking through my recent photos, I wondered if I had any repetitions.

It turns out there were a few.

I included a chandelier, some colorful wallpaper, and a plant.

Cosmic Photo Challenge: Patterns in Black and White

Dale offers “patterns in black and white” for this week’s Cosmic Photo Challenge.

I modified the middle photo in GIMP using Colors > Components > Mono Mixer > Monochrome. I selected the default values.

The other two photos seemed already black and white, at least for the most part.

Although there is a tad of color, this odd chandelier is mostly black and white.
I made sure there was no color in this view of the lake in Pineville, North Carolina.
All natural, black and white, window shades

Cosmic Photo Challenge: An Autumn Walk

Dale offers the prompt, “an autumn walk”, for this week’s Cosmic Photo Challenge.

The weather was beautiful today, Friday. Earlier I walked around McDowell Nature Preserve.

Here are some of the photos I took. These are fresh off my phone’s camera.

This fellow kept his eye on me as I passed him and was still watching when I returned.

Cosmic Photo Challenge: Seeds, Fruits and Nuts

Dale offers the prompt, “seeds, fruits and nuts” for this week’s Cosmic Photo Challenge.

I considered going to the grocery store to find these.

Instead, I searched through my photos. Here are some fruits.

I have no clue what this is, but it was found around Miami, Florida.
These are blackberries from South Carolina last June.
Another mysterious fruit from Florida.

Cosmic Photo Challenge: Foliage

Dale offers the prompt “foliage” for this week’s Cosmic Photo Challenge.

He adds, “let’s capture some greenery up close, before the changing colours of autumn are upon us”.

Here are some of my captures.

Cosmic Photo Challenge: The End of Summer

Dale offers the prompt “the end of summer” for this week’s Cosmic Photo Challenge.

Since I have been having trouble moving photos from my phone to the cloud and then back to my computer, these photos come from September of 2015, about the end of summer 11 years ago.

I think we were near Green Bay, Wisconsin at the time.

Cosmic Photo Challenge: Festivals, Fairs and Carnivals

Dale offers the prompt “festivals/fairs/carnivals” for this week’s Cosmic Photo Challenge.

On July 4th of this year the United States celebrated its 250th anniversary of the Declaration of Independence.

Here are some of the fireworks set off by people in the cul-de-sac right outside our townhome.
