Dale offers the prompt “three shots from one spot” for this week’s Cosmic Photo Challenge.
I went across the street to the park with a man-made pond.
Then I wondered: What direction should I aim my phone? These are the directions I thought might be interesting.



Having “a bad case of music festival withdrawal” Dale offers the prompt “music on film” for this week’s Cosmic Photo Challenge.
Letting my imagination dance around me I found two recent photos I took on a walk through the old golf course that was turned into a park across the street.
My imagination said about the first one, “Those plants are dancing.” Then I heard, “That bee and blossom are dancing to the music of a beautiful day.” I thought to myself, You’ve got to be kidding, but I realized I best not say that out loud.


Dale offers the prompt “summer views” for this week’s Cosmic Photo Challenge.
These are photos of flowers growing in our pots on the patio.
I have no idea what kinds they are. Since they came from the hardware store they are not likely rare. Since they are part of God’s creation they are very good.


Dale offers the prompt “the great wide open” for this week’s Cosmic Photo Challenge.
These photos were taken long ago, but here’s a poem that is new:
From oceans to mountains to oceans again
with clouds in the sky and the birds coming in.
Skip down to the photos. In gratitude stay.
Give praise while you can. Oops. The birds flew away.




Dale offers the prompt “fun in the sun” for this week’s Cosmic Photo Challenge.
With all the shadows in these photos they might also be seen as “fun in the shade”. Since the day was hot, I was grateful there was shade and cold water nearby.
These were taken last Saturday at South Mountains State Park in North Carolina.



Dale offers the prompt “I’ll see you in the trees” for this week’s Cosmic Photo Challenge.
Here are three smaller pieces of one photo of sunbathing leaves.



Dale offers the prompt “circle/square” for this week’s Cosmic Photo Challenge.
The last one is not a photo, but a TikZ graphic. It was an attempt to square the circle and circle the square and meet the prompt in case the first two photos didn’t quite make it.



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


Dale offers the prompt “when the rains came” for this week’s Cosmic Photo Prompt.
