Each week Kammie challenges us to post an oddball photo:
Odd Ball Photos are those great photos that you take which really don’t seem to fit into a common category. We’ve all taken them and like them, because we just can’t hit delete and get rid of them.

Well this week Frank challenges us with the topic:
… the idea of using Radiant for this week’s theme
My wife radiating beauty.

For this weeks Fun Foto Challenge Cee gives us the topic of ‘Feet and/or Legs’.
So a picture of my wife’s feet – well her boots to be precise – does that count? There is a bit of leg in there as well, covered up for modesty of course!
‘Her feet’, 2018.

Each week, K’lee and Dale offer prompts for us to consider as the latest challenge. This week it was Dale:
choosing the optimistic prompt of Fun in the sun,
A photo from the archives this week, reworked for this challenge. A summers day out on the Gower in Wales, as even though spring has just arrived I am dreaming of summer days out.

Well this week Frank challenges us with the topic ‘Sunrise’:
This week’s theme is another instance of surprised that I haven’t used this theme before! While Morning has been a theme, Sunrise has not been used yet. As I always look for the themes to be accessible to everyone, I figured that the Sun is available to most of us, Earthlings. Of course, it does happen early in the day, so night owls might be disadvantaged, but I’m sure their creative minds can come up with a workaround for rising early!
Well this first shot is taken off the sunrise over Carbis bay, St. Ives, from the bedroom window of Coast B&B were we stay when we visit. I woke up, could not get back to sleep, too much rich food before retiring, so got up and looked out the window, where I was greeted with this magnificent sunrise.

I mentioned in my Sunday stills post this week that each year we aim to go out and greet the returning sun at winter solstice. So here is another image taken up on the common as we do just that.

This weeks PFTW challenge from Bren is:
Anyway here is this week’s challenge and it is Landscape. Your landscape can be of anything, mountains, fields, even a landscape of a field of flowers or crops. Or it can be of anything in landscape format. The interpretation of Landscape is entirely up to you.
I am still in the process of editing some of last years photos of our trip to the Lake district with friends. So here is a photo of Castlerigg stone circle and the magnificent surrounding landscape.

This week Teri has challenged us with:
DAYLIGHT is this week’s theme for Sunday Stills.
Each winter solstice we go out and greet the rising sun, we make the transition from almost darkness to daylight, passing through that liminal space in-between.
Some years we feel, rather than see the Daylight.
‘Solstice mist’, Brynna common, 2017.
And some years we see Daylight arrive in all its glory.
