Dale offers the prompt “say hello to summer” for this week’s Cosmic Photo Challenge.

On my walks in the neighborhood one of my neighbors has an amazing flower garden. I often stop by to take a few photos.

Here are some of the many flowers in his garden.

______

Dale offers the prompt “north, south, east, west” for this week’s Cosmic Photo Challenge.

Now, I can’t keep my lefts and rights straight so I hope what I label as north, south, east and west doesn’t get confused as well.

______

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

Below are pictures of two bridges in Prague that I took last summer.

The first two show up close views of part of two statues on the Charles Bridge. The last shows another bridge in the distance with swans.

______

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

It occurred to me that most art on display has an ulterior motive even as it pretends to be minding its own business.

These are all up-close photos of large palm branches that fell to the ground.

______

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

I went across the street into the park to look for wild flowers, but I couldn’t find any. So I went deep, deep into the woods, that is, I went on a trail I normally wouldn’t take, and found three examples.

Here they are.

______

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

Here are some bodies of water. Although there is a small pond across the street where we are now, it doesn’t compare to these.

______

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

There is a park across the street from us which serves many housing communities in the area. Some of the trees there are beautiful even when they are not blooming.

The area used to be part of Heritage USA a Christian theme park which fell apart some decades ago. Although we knew nothing about that park when we moved here many of the people we now know were associated with it in some way.

The blossoms on a particular kind of tree in the park symbolize the area for me. I think the tree is a kind of magnolia, but I don’t know. I just walk through the park.

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

A couple weeks ago I went to the ocean to watch the full moon rise. The first photo shows one of the pictures I took.

The second photo was taken some years ago in Tiberias watching the moon over the Sea of Galilee. The third was back at the Atlantic Ocean.

______

Dale offers the prompt “pick a colour” for this week’s Cosmic Photo Challenge.

Since I am near huge bodies of water at the moment, I’ll choose the color blue.

To add contrast I’ll also include the reds and yellows of a sunset and the dark silhouettes of trees and maybe even some people if they get in the way.

______

Dale offers the prompt, up, down, sideways, for this week’s Cosmic Photo Challenge.

For the up direction, I chose clouds during a sunset.

For the down direction, I chose an ancient pavement which was so far down it was below the normal walking surface.

For the sideways direction, while waiting for a sunrise, I noticed the moon which thankfully my phone was able to capture clearly enough.
