Last minute effort on the way home.  There were two chicks tagging along but they never came close enough to focus properly.  

DANDELION PROJECT

114.365

The tiny details and abstract compositions are often overlooked (even squashed!) There are so many photographic opportunities under our feet its hard to know where to start.  With macro photography you can immerse yourself in another little world. 

Part II on my Instagram feed soon!

TALBOT VALLEY II

113.365

Stunning, crisp morning in the heart of the island with the mist floating over the hills.

The is how I like to spend my Sunday's, out in the wild watching the world wake up and listening to the birds singing.  Absolute bliss.

AFRICAN DAISY

109.365

Technical name - Osteospermum Astra White.  A daisy shaped flower with a contrasting vivid blue eye and deep purple undersides.

SUN GODS

108.365

Weather geek alert! Stunning clouds formations over the channel this morning. I believe they are either Nimbostratus or Cumulus types. 

Although I love the recent sunny days, I do miss the stormy winter months (for obvious reasons!). 

ANIMAL TOUR

107.365

Took Alana on an animal safari drive and ended up at the Goat Farm.  It also turns out Grandpa has some land we can turn into a mini farm as well.  Watch this space!

CASTLE PIER

Lacking inspiration this morning and I nearly gave up on this but shortly after sunrise, the clouds started to glow and the sun broke through.

THE WHITE ONE

103.365

The insect world is coming back to life!  Trying to get a clean background between the wild garlic was a nightmare (hence the tight crop!).

TOWNSCAPE

101.365

The intention was to photograph the moonrise over Sark but I couldn't find a composition I was happy with.  This was a four shot panoramic ten minutes earlier.

BLUEBELL WOODS

The transformation is pretty much complete.  The scenery is made, but picking the right light and composition is the challenging part.

PINE FRESH

98.365

Eventually left my bed after ignoring the alarm three times but it was worth the trip down to the Pine Forest.  

Other than including myself in a few frames, I set up, sat on a log and sipped coffee for an hour, just watching the day unfold.  Lovely!

ABSTRACT STEPS

An updated version from late last summer.  I wanted to come back to get this shot with the sun glowing on the steps and a small edge of the water.
