The annual school nativity, with Finley doing an amazing job as one of the shepherds. Got to admire their little minds, so much to learn in such a small amount of time.

Part of me wishes I’d traveled the extra mile to be on the other side of this rain cloud but it was still a fascinating sight to watch the curtain of rain pass across Rocquaine.

Some people have gone above and beyond with decorations this year. This is just up from Kings Mills but this giant reindeer is just the beginning. The house itself is something else.

One of the most beautiful spots on the south coast, even better with some golden winter sun illuminating the cliff faces.

After an hour round trip to Pleinmont this morning, the only shot I actually liked was the rain falling behind Herm. Pretty much sums up the weather for the day I think. Stay warm, I’m off to eat steak and drink beer all day.

A mix of rain, hail, sleet and sunshine drifting in from the North.

The rain got the better of me today. Sheltered in this alley between Contree Mansell and Mansell Street, it was the only shot I had the enthusiasm for. Interestingly though, these buildings date back the the mid 1600’s so there must be some interesting stories from around here. You can only wander!

Stunning morning in Guernseyland. It seemed to last a long time but going by the forecast, its downhill for the next few day!

The first day of the meteorological winter, observed from Saints Bay. The tides were perfect and just enough hazy cloud on the horizon to keep the highlights balanced. 30 days left and that would be six years non stop daily photography (2162 days to date). I’ve filled nearly 8TB of storage and many more GB’s thrown away to make space. In my mind, I’m still only getting started!

Terracotta chimney pots as far as the eye can see, lining the rooftops of almost every terraced house up Victoria Road.

Alana’s third 10th birthday party, this time all the girls from school went ice skating. Too many pics to sort but I managed to get a few group ones afterwards.

Tactical Gun Emplacement on the edge of the Fort Houmet headland. Love the low sun this time of year, the light hovers above the horizon for at least a few hour a day.

With the shortest day just over three weeks away, daylight hours are limited. Overcast days are a thing we just get used to but with dullness comes new challenges. Rain wont stop me searching and there’s always a little detail which catches my eye like this flame like leaf sat against the dark rotten leaves.

Our not so little girl turned 10 today! The slow but ever more apparent transition into her teens is not something I’m ready for but she’ll always be my little angel. Something she said a few days ago stuck with me. We talked about friends and at the end, she told me I was one of her best friends. That right there is where it all makes you a proud parent.

Another random turn into the lanes around St Saviour. Spotted this bull who was quickly joined by the heifers although a few turned their noses up at me.

Scanning the streets of St Peter Port for some inspiration. Always found something really authentic and interesting about this little shop. All the big chains and high street shops that have come and go over the years have nothing against the handy convenient stores.

As if being Friday wasn’t good enough, starting off the day with scenes like this just make life so much better.
