MOULIN HUET VALLEY

01.06.18

Another misty and murky start to the first day of June although it was still very warm.  Looking back down the valley towards the beach, it almost felt as if I was in the middle of a tropical jungle!

MR WIGGLES

31.05.18

We saved a hedgehog from the road, checked him over and sent him on his way at L'Ancresse common.  Focus is a little on the soft side but I liked the composition.

The kids agreed to call him Mr Wiggles because his nose was wiggling.

LAND & SEA

30.05.18

Something I've shot a fair few times this year, more recently during the snow storms.  I'm always revisiting and reworking at different times of the year, hoping the 'perfect' conditions will fall into place. 

 

 

 

 

 

MISTY MOISTY MORNING

29.05.18

The ageing Japanese Pavillion at Saumarez Park.  Quite extreme editing from my part, trying to emphasize the misty mood with a cooler atmospheric style.

SOUTHERN SUN

28.05.18

Dragged my butt out of bed shortly after 04:15 only to have to wait over nearly 90 minutes for the sun to pop up over the clouds.  Coffee in hand I just sat down and admired the views.  

COLOURS OF BORDEAUX

27.05.18

Perfect way to relax on a Sunday evening, soaking up the last of the last of the sun and taking in the stunning views across the channel.  

ELECTRIC

26.05.18

Spectacular lightning display visible across the whole island tonight!  Had to wait out the rain before trying to set up in the pitch black.  A few test shots and I got what I wanted :)

SAINTS COTTAGE

25.05.18

Part of what makes Guernsey so unique can be found in the stunning cottages and farmhouses dotted around the island.  

Beatifully presented and it could be yours for a cool £735,000!

CAMOUFLAGE

24.05.18

Got up early this morning to a disappointing and grey sunrise so it turned into a mid afternoon bug hunt.  I had hoped to find some bigger crickets but they seemed to be hiding themselves extremely well today.  This cricket was no bigger than a finger nail.

INDUSTRIAL MACHINERY

23.05.18

Stuck for time and ideas, I headed back Les Vardes Quarry.  Fascinating to watch and listen to the crusher grinding down the giant boulders of rock.

COBO

22.05.18

A peaceful end to the day, still waiting for some decent cloud cover.  Looking forward to good thunder storm!

RAINBOWS PROMISE

21.05.18

Alana and Harriette made their Rainbow Promise tonight as they move on to a new adventure with the Brownies.  

Managed to get all the kids together afterwards for a quick shoot.  

ROYAL ENFIELD 500

One for the bike enthusiasts out there. This caught my eye on my way home this morning around the Bordeaux coast road.  It also sums up how empty the roads were at 06:00 on a Sunday morning!  I did have to take a moment to appreciate how lucky we are to live here.

LIFESTYLE

19.05.18

The difficult life choices that come with living on a small island.  I choose the pixels, they chose the fish. 

LE PORT AU QUATRIEME ETAGE

18.05.18

If you need a break from the world, there's no better place than Le Gouffre harbour.  Spent my lunch sheltered down here watching the world go by.  Opted for a vintage style to get out my 'editing comfort zone'.  A little Mediterranean vibe in Guernsey.

Apparently a favoutire spot for Victor Hugo too which I found in an article from the Priaulx Library https://www.priaulxlibrary.co.uk/articles/article/victor-hugo-and-guernsey-le-gouffre

GREEN VEINED WHITE

15.05.18

First sucessful butterfly capture of the year.  Not easy in the wind but an hour of persistence paid off.  The cliff paths are a gold mine of nsects at the moment!

HOW NOW BROWN COW

14.05.18

It's always good fun taking photos of cows.  Getting down low and trying to avoid an unexpected wet nose sniffing your head :)

LOOPHOLE TOWER

13.05.18

Hoped that the clouds would stick around till this evening to add some drama to the sky.  Had to settle for a clear sky but watching the sun go down never disappoints.
