PUMPKIN FARM

Brooklands Farm setting the standards again with another fantastic pumpkin display.  Even if you don't buy one, just admiring the effort involved is worth a look.

LA CORBIERE

277.365

One of those places I visited back in 2015 and never got round to going back, until now.  Battled with intense sunlight, blown out highlights and even sea spray at 100 metres up but still a stunning view.

AMANITA MUSCARIA

276.365

Credit to a local hotel worker who spotted these in St Pierre Park today.  Wikipedia tells me that they are poisinous, but, if parboiled they can be eaten and hold hallucinogenic properties.  Magic!

ORB WEAVER

Love them or hate them, there is probably one hiding in your house right now, waiting to make that great escape across the living room in front of the tv!

Its been a great day to be a duck and my lawn can maintain itself for another month!

ICHNEUMON WASP

272.365

Nicknamed the 'Stump Stabber' these parasitic wasps tap the wood with their antennae testing for hollows in the wood where grubs are burrowing.  They lay their eggs which will then feed on the grubs. Pretty cool!

GU97

271.365

More of a safety shot but the moment I looked out the window this morning I knew something special was going to happen.  I just had to get that sky in somehow.

SAINTS

270.365

Not much light to play with this evening but you have to work with what you've got and make the best of bad situation.  Great winter location to come back to.

ONE THOUSAND

269.365

Today marks the 1000th consecutive day of shooting since it all began on 1st January 2015.  Personally this is a big milestone for me as it’s something I remember thinking about years ago and never thought I would manage it.  I nearly gave up after three months!

The passion is definitely still there and I’m really looking forward to shooting in the Autumn and Winter months.  The atmospheric, cold and frosty mornings are a dream to work with.

I’m still undecided about what to do when this third 365 is over but I feel an LRPS disdinction is on the cards.

NB.  The image was shot at Le Gouffre shortly after sunrise.  I had to wait a little while for the sun to appear over Icart headland so the light is a tad stronger than I wanted.

THE BEACH

After a rather dull and murky day the low clouds cleared just before sunset and bathed the coast in golden light.
