HEAVY RAIN

in

08.08.21

For me, the clouds and rain make or break a landscape image. I know exactly what I want in my head and I will search for those visions if it means I get absolutely soaked and using a valuable Sunday lie in. After nearly 7 years of exploring almost every square mile of the island, it’s nearly impossible to find new locations. The answer is to keep going back to your favourites and see it in a different light.

INKY

Two weeks on and both Chewie and Inky are inseparable. They sleep together, they eat together and I’v even had to get a bigger litter tray because they poop together! Hard to take a sharp photo indoors as they camera just wants to see blackness.

LIGHTHOUSE

After watinig for nearly 45 minutes, I packed up and reached the Yacht Club to turn around and see the sky starting to turn. It didn’t last long and the rain seemed to be swirling around from all directions.

DRAGONFLY

For months I’ve been trying to grab a shot of a dragonfly. They’re all over the place but trying to find one that’ll stay still and allow me to get close is hard work.

ROCQUAINE REGATTA

Unfortunately, we were unable to retain our sand sculpture title (we arrived as it finished) but it’s still a great family day out and you’re almost guaranteed to see old friends along the way.

This was the crab pot pulling, with a little assistance from the bigger kids.

ALONE

Even on the gloomy mornings, I’m always drawn to the coast. A lone fishing boat heading out towards Jerbourg, in what seemed like an infinite abyss.

My one regret was not taking more photos of our old cat Marley before he died. This time round, Chewie will have hundreds (possible thousands) to look back on when he’s an old boy.

FOLLOW THE SUN

20 degrees at 05:30 is not bad going for Guernsey. Spend the best part of 11 hours down on the beach today and it felt like a proper little beach holiday. Almost forgotten what clouds look like but I think we’ll see a few in the coming days!

PREDATOR

Love this cat but it seems anything attached to our bodies is a potential target for his little razor sharp claws. Walk too fast across the room and your leg becomes a moving target. Wiggle your toes watching tv…your risk! Take a picture from above, he can jump pretty high. Still can't let him out to hunt but I’ve got a feeling we’ll see a few dead birds around house when he’s let loose.
