The seasonal weather may be unpredictable but you can always guarantee the lambs will make an appearance before Spring arrives.

SARNIA CHERIE

62.365

Sarnia Cherie, one of two oil tankers supplying fuel to the island.  I had hoped for some lightning in the background but the storm had pushed too far East at this point.

I didn't expect much from tonight but shortly after sunset there was a very subtle glow on the horizon.

RISE UP

When the going gets tough, pick yourself up and try to rise above the rest.  Never stop growing!

SUNSHINE, SHOWERS AND RAINBOWS

59.365

Turn down the gale force winds a tad and today is my kind of weather.  Deep, energetic clouds with a powerful presence in the sky really make a scene complete.  

Unfortunately the sea spray got the better of me before I was finished (and my patience).

ST APOLINE

The Chapel of St Apolline was constructed in the 14th century and has stood virtually unchanged for over 600 years.  The Chapel is now temperature controlled to preserve the original paitings on the vaulted ceiling.

BAMBOO

One of the main goals for this project is to document my children's lives.  I try to take them on mini adventures and make happy memories along the way.

The steep and quirky paths cut right through the heart of St Peter Port, revaeling the true Guernsey charm.

PHEASANT SURPRISE

52.365

The plan was to photograph a meadow overlooking the West but I noticed a sneaky pheasant trying to walk around me.  We had a stare off and he froze just long enough for me to change lenses.  I pushed my luck and got too close which scared him off into the next field.

PARAGLIDING

50.365

Riding the airwaves over Pleinmont headland.  Fair play to this guy, he was helped out if his wheelchair and set off and landed solo.  If there was ever a reason to get out enjoy life, this is it.
