FREEDOM

After a week of treatment in hospital, Alana finally got to come home today.  Nothing serious, just a minor hiccup in her development as a young lady.  The nurses were amazing and I cant thank them enough.

ROUSSE

Quick trip to the beach with Finley to throw some stones before dropping him to playschool.  Obviously my camera is never more than a few metres away from me :)

SUN PATH

292.365

I really didn't expect much from this morning when I woke up, but a small gap in the clouds formed and sure enough the sun poked through for all of 5 minutes.  The rest of the day was wet and windy!

SILVER LINING

290.365

About as pleasant as it got today.  The expression 'every cloud has a silver lining' seemed appropriate for this one.

OPHELIA

289.365

Some surreal dust clouds moving in from the south early this morning, reportedly a mix of desert sand and forest fires ifrom Portugal.  The strangest part for me was the smell of burning wood around 10am.

Beautiful Autumn morning on the rock, and this is exactly how I like to start my day.

PUMPKIN FARM

285.365

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.

In search of the finer details that often get overlooked by the bigger picture.

Not as dramatic a Sunday morning but you cant let the rain spoil your view!

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

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!
