ORCHID FIELDS

11.05.18

The wild Orchids are now in full bloom.  Plenty to photograph but choosing the right one from 13 fields is tricky.

FORT SAUMAREZ

10.05.18

Catching the last of the light on Lihou Headland, looking back towards the WWII Observation Tower. Never realised but the Germans actually built the tower over an existing Martello Tower during the war.

LIBERATED

09.05.18

Top of Arcade Steps for an elevated view of this evenings firework display, marking the end of another liberated year. 

ZYGOPTERA

08.05.18

I promised myself I wouldn't trace down these damselfly's for at least another month but I couldn't resist.  Still very marshy around the ponds so boots and old cloths are essential, nnot your clean work clothes!

K2

07.05.18

An essential part of growing up in Guernsey is rock jumping.  Everyone living here should try it at least once!  On this occation I was happy behind the camera.

LEXI

06.05.18

Celebrating this beautiful little girl's 4th birthday today.  Spent the rest of the afternoon with awaesome people down the beach soaking up some rays.

L'ANCRESSE MIST

05.05.18

L'Ancresse looking stunning in a blanket of low lying mist this morning.  Too thick to be at sea level so I had to head for the hills.  

MORNING GLORY

04.05.18

Slept through the alarm, ten minutes till sunrise, down to the Bathing Pools and boom!  What a beauty this morning!

SPRING WALKERS

02.05.18

Vibrant flora line the paths forming tunnels of green and white high above Petit Bot.  The bird were singing and I didn't have a care in the world.

LIFE IN THE UNDERGROWTH

01.05.18

I knew exactly the shot I wanted, just had to find some fern in the shade with a tiny amount of light shining trhrough the tree canopy above.  Expose for the highlights and the background will appear much darker. 

BLUEBELL TWIST

30.04.18

This years experimental bluebell macro.  Trying to isolate a bluebell at this time of year is more challenging than you think.

SAINTS BAY

29.04.18

The sun made a brief appearance this morning, still had to wrap up warm.  Loving all the thrift popping up at the moment. 

PORTELET

28.04.18

Took a trip way out west this morning, hoping for a break in the rain.  I think I was feeling a little bit too optimistic about this one.  Never tried this bay at sunrise but I'm hoping to give it another go when the weather improves.  It just needs some early mornign sunlight in from the side to give it a lift.

LA VALETTE

27.04.18

Although I never see them as wasted trips, there was a sense of disappointment after leaving my cosy warm bed this morning.  There was a thin strip of clear sky on the horizon which annoyingly closed up right before sunrise.

COUNTRY LANES

26.04.18

Out of the wind it felt like summer walking around the Le Bigard this afternoon.  Plenty of tourists navigating their maps trying to figure out where the roads will lead!

ABOVE AND BEYOND

25.04.18

One of the great things about photography is the adventures it take you on.  I've walked these paths to the Pine Forest many times but never really appreciated them in spring. 

TWILIGHT

23.04.18

Struggled to get some motivation today.  Covered a fair few miles on the cliffs scouting locations but this is one of the last shots I took today.
