Finally found the rubber ducks! I stumbled upon them over a year ago in a random lane way out west but never remembered where! Perfect weather for them today.

i-SPY

Took the kids to Candie Garden to pass some time and Alana spotted the Heron fishing in the pond. She also freaked out because 'it looked at her'!

DAMSELFLY STUDY III
146.365
In a moment of weakness I couldn't help but return to capture a few more shots of the Damselfly's. This was the shot I had in mind but I was hoping for more backlight and slightly thinner grass. They just didn't understand what I was trying to tell them!

LA GRANDE MARE

The low lying wetlands of La Grande Mare, basking in the hazy evening sun.
BURNET MOTH
144.365
Lots of bugs enjoying the warm weather at the moment. I wanted to get a photograph of these Burnet Moths last year but never managed to find one. One to tick off in the Ladybird i-Spy Nature book :)

RED SKY
142.365
Mind blowing sunrise over the channel this morning. This was about 20 minutes before the sun came up. Seeing this just makes all those failed attempts worth it, and there is a lot more behind this project that never made it.

BEACH PICNIC
141.365
A trip to Grandes Rocques for a picnic in the sunsine. Trying to get Finley to look 'normal' is getting harder and harder!

LIHOU CAUSEWAY
140.365
Low tide at 4.0m barely exposed the causeway but gave the opportunity to get a bit creative with the rocks and shallow pools. There was some atmospheric refraction just before the sun went down but the colours of the sunset was stunning.

STRONG BREW

Gutted I ignored my alarm this morning, looked like it would have been a stunning sunrise. This was about 07:45, just after the rain.

LES AMMAREURS DUNES

One of the best things about living in the English Channel is the ever changing weather patterns, but looks can be deceiving! Still waiting for this heatwave...

AERO CLUB OPEN DAY

The highlight of kids day at the Aero Club. Finley was not too keen but Alana's face lit up when she had a go with the hose.

ROUTE DE LA ROCQUE
132.365
One of the many places I drive past on a regular basis and never stop to have a proper look. The island may be small, but around each corner is a slightly different and unique bay.

EARTH MOVERS

The sound of the stone being crushed is almost as satisfying as thunder.
FORT LE MARCHANT

Many happy childhood memories down here although I always refer to it as 'The Numbers'
