COMMON BUZZARD
in Photography
16.11.20
Never in my life have I been able to get close to a buzzard in the wild until today. Down a lane near Rocquaine, I spotted this buzzard perched in a tree. Wound down the window and slowly drove closer and closer until I was pretty much underneath it. The thing that scared it was an attack from another buzzard which came out of nowhere!

CRUNCHY NUTTER
in Photography
15.11.20
I gave up on my cliff adventure because I genuinely felt like I was putting myself in danger, mainly due to the 50mph+ winds and driving rain. Stopped off at the Bathing Pools on the way home to see this hero going for a casual snorkel round Havelet.

SKY CANDY

14.11.20
Keen as ever to make the most out of my day, this was the first port of call. Marble Bay taking a battering form the wind and the sea spray was pretty annoying. That said, a long exposure blended the scattered clouds nicely into pink streaks.

EXPERIMENT
in Photography
13.11.20
Italian Arum growing in a pile of wood chips with a little backlight poking through the trees illuminating the thick white veins on the leaf. Although this is far from the ‘natural’ colours, I got pretty bored of editing it so went to town on the sliders. Still not quite happy, like a kid scribbling with a crayon, I raced though experimenting with colours and split toning and abruptly stopped when I hit some fiery oranges.

Continuing with the golden tree theme, this tree is a slightly hidden gem on the way down to Fermain Bay.

With the winds picking up again, this was probably my last chance to grab a snap of this tree in all (of half) of it’s seasonal beauty.

HEAVY SKY

The amazing and uninterrupted views from Jerbourg looking out towards Jersey and beyond. It felt like I was above the clouds looking down on the rain drifting across the channel.

A 50m superyacht designed by Dutch naval architects Hessen Yachts. Sleeps 12 with a crew of 10. Looking at the for sale sites, I wouldn’t expect you’d get any change from £15 million for this!

JALFREZI
in Photography
06.11.20
The latest prickly visitor to find it’s way into our garden, how, I still have no idea. I’ve found one small gap in the fence, possible big enough for a baby hog to squeeze though. He had ticks on his face so I took him to the GSPCA where I named him Jalfrezi, after my favourite cuisine!

I’d set up on the pier before the hail started hammering down. Luckily the store has a great sheltered vantage point to watch the weather do it’s thing.

FROG

Another frog re-homed from ‘death by cat claws’. Went outside last night to see the cat batting something against the wall in the dark which turned out to be this frog. Found it a suitable home and we went our separate ways.

Sharing back to back birthdays, it’s become a tradition to grab a picture of mum and dad together. Lovely breakfast at The Kiln at Oatlands, food was great as always.

I’ve been meaning to photograph this old vinery site for years but never found the right time to do it. Sheltered from the wind and crazy seas, this morning seemed like to opportune moment to give it a go.
