Show Us Your Bloomers

Dale offers the prompt “show us your bloomers” for this week’s Cosmic Photo Challenge. He clarifies that by “bloomers” he means flowers.

The first photo is of blackberry blossoms along the wilder parts of Regent Parkway. I know they are blackberries because I ate some last summer.

The second one is of some pink flowers along a trail through the various communities in the Fort Mill area. I don’t know what they are but I am glad they were there.

Lighter Mornings/Longer Evenings

Dale offers the prompt “lighter mornings/longer evenings” for this week’s Cosmic Photo Challenge.

Below is my favorite morning photo. It is like a burst of fresh light in my mind.

The final two photos are of evenings. The last one was taken last night about 8 PM.

An Easter Walk

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

The two photos are from from a walk we took yesterday along a trail through the neighborhoods.

The last is a graphic I made using LaTeX which I posted on MeWe to celebrate Resurrection Sunday.

Art For Art’s Sake

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

I took the two photos below of ancient flooring inside a structure in Jerusalem. I cropped and adjusted the color and brightness of the originals. Outside of making sure the horizon or other flat surface, if there is one in a photo, looks flat that is all I normally do to photos.

If you forget what these are photos of, hopefully they might be viewed as abstract art or art for art’s sake.

Little and Large

Dale offers the prompt “little and large” for this week’s Cosmic Photo Challenge.

The grasshopper sat still for a photo. The table was at a cate in Manitou Springs, Colorado. That is the photo of what is little.

A mile of so away begins the Barr Trail that leads to Pikes Peak. The second photo is a view from that trail showing what is large.

It’s Spring

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

The first photos are of rabbits born in a large outdoor flower pot. They soon all hopped away. I think I saw the mother rabbit earlier that year look in on them hoping they were all right.

The second photo is of an Indiana corn field that had been harvested in the autumn and was now waiting to be prepared to be planted again likely with soybeans to help replenish the ground with nitrogen.

Indiana Harvested Corn Field in the Spring

Out in the Country

Dale offers the prompt “out in the country” for this week’s Cosmic Photo Challenge.

The first photo was taken along a rural road in northwestern Indiana near the farm where I grew up. This is an agriculturally productive land out in the country where corn, soybeans and hay are raised on nearly fat fields.

The second photo is from a park in Colorado Springs providing a view of the mountains. In the distance is Pikes Peak. In the middle of the photo, if you know what you’re looking for, you can see the upright sedimentary rock formations known as “Garden of the Gods”. This is country also, but more mountainous than that in Indiana.
