PIGEON

in

27.08.21

Not the most exotic subject although I liked the way the evening sun was only illuminating the pigeon perched on a fence post under a tree. Exposed for the bird and the rest dropped off into darkness.

THE AUCTION

in

26.08.21

I was 36 years old when I found out there was an auction at the end of the North Show. Such a good laugh and some great award winning local produce up for grabs for next to nothing. Got myself the finest selection of carrots and a super sizes marrow. This guy was a hero.

ROBIN

24.08.21

A friendly little robin perched only a few metres away from me, I assume hoping I would have some food. I passed on the kids Christmas Wishlist and he went on his way.

DIP N DINE

22.08.21

Out out for lunch at Hougue du Pommier with the family. If you love curry, the chicken curry is unbelievably good. The bribe for this shot was to actually let them use the pool!

BLACK INK

in

21.08.21

Every time I go out into the garden, the cats wait at the door, itching to head out into the big wide world. Sill a few months to go before it’s recommended to let them out. Inky will be 11 weeks old tomorrow.

HINTS OF SUMMER

in

18.08.21

I always remember mid August school summer holidays being non stop blue skies, down the beach with mates and cycling around without a care in the world. Summer seems to have faded away in the blink of an eye this year and there’s no signs of an imminent heatwave returning this year. Other than this bust of sun, it’s been another grey and slightly moist one.

JERSEY TIGER MOTH

in

17.08.21

A scarce moth found mostly in the south of the UK but populations are rising. I found this one on a pane of glass on an old farmhouse window. I gave it a gentle nudge to see if it would land on some of the fern next to the window but he flew off. Amazing deep red colour to the underside of the wings.

UNDERGROUND

in

16.08.21

Part of the submerged German trenches below the Pleinmont headland. It still amazes me how such an incredible network of tunnels and trenches were build in such a small amount of time.

OUTSIDE-IN

in

15.08.21

Alana’s been in Herm for the last four days and it’s safe to say she did miss us but she’s definitely become quite attached the Chewie. Inky isn’t a fan of being carried around like a baby but this one loves to be escorted in your arms.

PURE SHORES

in

14.08.21

Alderney Point located at the very far north of Herm. I love this spot, it always feels like your thousands of miles away from home but with that nostalgic Herm vibe from childhood memories.

THE GUERNSEY FARMHOUSE

in

10.08.21

Working as an architect I study the designs of many modern and contemporary homes (archdaily is great) but as I get older the appeal of a traditional rustic Guernsey farmhouse seems more and more appealing. Unfortunately, most with generous gardens and outbuildings are well over any realistic budget.

DARTER II

in

09.08.21

One of the five dragonflies darting around in the same small field below St Saviours Church. Although there were five, they were on a feeding frenzy and just wouldn’t stay still, until I clocked this one land on an apple tree. It didn’t really move but trying to get a clean contrasting background was tricky. The dark areas came from the shady area under a tree about 20 metres away.
