HOUMET PARADIS II

315.365

Battling the elements along the East coast.  Pretty wet and windy for most of Saturday but had an hour to kill whilst Finley was sleeping in the car.  No excuses but it was a struggle to find inspiration.

PORTELET TRACTOR

Just drive onto the beach, go fishing and tow your boat back home when you're done!  West coast life :)

QUANTERAINE VALLEY

313.365

Tranquil moss covered stream running through the Sible Nature Reserve.  The stream eventually feeds the Moulin de Quanteraine water wheel at the bottom of the valley.

MUDDY PATH

312.365

It's really starting to feel cold and wet at the moment but believe it or not, the shortest day of the year is only 6 weeks away!

CRAGGY ISLAND

311.365

My trip to Lihou was cut short by torrential rain.  Not a single person in sight and a very wet Jam Jar by the time I crossed back to Guernsey.  This is the only usable photograph I came back with.  To be continued...

RAINBOW FLAVOUR

310.365

Rain and sunshine, the perfect rainbow mix!  It's all about being in the right place at the right time but years of studying the weather and making use of technology can really help predict the best conditions and locations.  Also keeping the kids busy in the car with cartoons while waiting :)

JAPANESE PAVILLION II

307.365

Quick walk in the park before a meeting this morning. I've tried getting this place to work in good light but it seems to work best on a grey misty day.  Slightly different composition to a much foggier version earlier this year.

FRUIT FLY

306.365

These tiny insects are only a few millimeters long but still fascinating to look at close up.  Focusing this close is a massive challenge, working with a microscopic depth of field.  I was also lying on my belly in a patch of wet stinging nettles to get this shot!

FIVE STUMPS

305.365

The moorings at Le Gouffre are now empty for the Winter but today felt like a late summer afternoon in the sun.

TIME

304.365

Working this project around everyday life is not as easy as it seems.  The seasons change and so do the clocks.  Somedays the best thing to do when your short on time is revist the places you have right on your doorstep.

CASTLE CORNET

303.365

As the sun rises further south, the cold and crisp mornings really start to feel wintry.  Still the classic Guernsey but with a new weather twist ecery day!

IN THE WOODS

302.365

Post swimming adventures in the woods with Finley.  This boy has no fear and sometimes it scares the life out of me!

FEAR

299.365

I've always wanted to cross the bridge to see the other side of the signal station but the crumbling concrete has never looked too inviting.  Today I overcame that fear of the bridge collapsing and ventured to the other side.
