As far as beaches go, this is the most rewarding of them all. 286 steps each way, but worth every minute once you're there. I only had ten minutes on the beach at lunch but I like to test out how far I can get in an hour.

With the longest day looming, the sun is almost at it’s most northerly point this side of the world. The intense orange glow seems to last ages which is great if you’re chasing the tides to get a composition. They don’t call Guernsey ‘The Rock’ for being a flat barren landscape!

This was not what I had planned, I set out to capture the fog over Herm and Jethou but I could see the sun illuminating the coast from round the corner so ran as fast as I could (and nearly died) to catch the light as it beamed over the hill.

A classic for any local adventurer. With fairly clear skies I needed something with not too much focus on the sky and as the light intensified, this just made itself.

Another stunner on the rock. Wandering through the fields around Pleinmont there’s some amazing views out over the west coast.

The greatest things in life are often free and I can guarantee that. Spending a few hours a day doing what you love, even through the harshest conditions, will eventually give you the rewards you seek.

My plan was to chase the thunder and lightning in the early hours but that was short lived. Instead, once the gorgeous orange glow burst over the horizon, I focused my efforts on the rain clouds heading in from behind. As an added bonus, a rainbow appeared in the mix.

First day of June and it was a scorcher! Spent my lunch roaming the coast around Rocquaine and Portelet, a little jealous of all the people enjoying the sea.

We were introduced to the newest additions to the family today. The kids were brave enough to pick them up and the chickens didn’t really care.

Spent the afternoon in Herm with my favourite humans. It really is such a lovely little island. Alana even said it felt like a little holiday on the way home.

Playing catch up with some edits. Yesterday’s miserable sunrise was not worth getting out of bed for but I quite like this one in black + white.

Not quite a secret as such but this beach is tucked away hidden from view next to Petit Bot and is only accessible by sea or an extremely dodgy rock scramble from the zig zag grassy path opposite. Even then, the latter is only possible at low tide.

5am, L’Ancresse common. A beautiful soft mist covering almost the entire low lying land.

Couldn’t find a composition I like around the Vale Church but the sky was amazing tonight. Summer start here I think!

With the impending rain storms, I knew an early rise was my only chance to capture something worth looking at. It started pretty bland but as the clouds started to roll in, things started to look a little brighter.

After yesterdays poor attempt at capturing a rainbow, today I knew exactly where I needed to be and this one didn’t disappoint!

After an unsuccessful trip this morning, the drive home gave a little taste of a rainbow.

Seriously lacking motivation today. One of those days where you know there’s so much that needs to be done you just want to hide away and hope it sorts itself out. Didn’t happen!
Literally parked the car up at Rousse, jumped out, Snapped this and spent about 10 minutes editing.
Onwards and upwards!

After 6 months in the care of the GSPCA, I had a call to collect Jalfrezi, the hedgehog I found full of ticks back in November last year. He’s been well looked after, hibernated and now he’s more than keen to get back out into the world. He seems quite content around humans too. Just hope he stays away from the roads!
