Nothing much happening in the skies this morning so I turned my attention to a place I feel I know like the back of my hand. It's a bad habbit always turning to a safety shot so often but when you've been on it for nearly 4 years, every day, it really doesn't matter. I just see it as gentle practice! 1341 days down, 111 to go...

Sunday morning watching the fishermen head off into the distance for the daily catch. Spent the rest of my day building sand castles and swimming in the sea. 5th sunniest summer on record apparently!

Beautiful calm and hazy morning out on the west coast. Autumn may be here but Guernsey still has plenty more to give this year!
31.08.18
Last day of my two weeks off with the kids before they head back to school next week. It's been a stunner to say its the meteorological autumn tomorrow!

The cream of the crop. To be a Golden Guernsey you need to be perfect. As i found out today, even the slightest imperfection in fur colour will decide your fate.

Technical flaws aside, I just had to pull over and grab this shot. I've tried numerous times of day and weather with this field and this was sort of how I always had it in my mind. Lots of retouching with distracting flare across the lens, something I'm always in two minds about.

Went for a walk around Saumarez Manor and noticed a few rats feeding on the leftover seed by the duck pond. Scared them off at first but sat patiently for 30 minutes and they returned for the main course.

My hangover got the better of me today. Damn you tasty rum! I could barely face lifting up the camera let alone leaving the house.
26.08.18
With high winds on the way the fishing quay was very quiet this morning. Perfect opportunity to explore the area in relative peace.
25.08.18
Felt very autumnal this morning. Low cloud hanging around with a chilly Atlantic breeze from the west. Might have to put the shorts away till the spring!
24.08.18
Early morning down by the Port of Dinan. An extremely busy tourist hotspot by day so I chose to see it again in the early hours of the morning to avoid the crowds.
23.08.18
Final full day in France, exploring the walled city of Dinan. Danni and the kids were trying to 'avoid the lava' in the cobbles!
22.08.18
With hundreds of miles of La Rance to explore, trying to frame it in one image is difficult. This is the picturesque bridge crossing from Lanvalley to Lehon.
21.08.18
A stunning former monastery located in the town of Lehon, a few miles down in the valley from where we were staying.
20.08.18
We met up with the Jagers for a day in sunny Lambelle. Lovely lunch in the town followed by a visit to a local petting zoo. These are our crazy children :)
19.08.18
Captive falcon within the Zoo de la Bourbansais, a fantastic conservation park in stunning settings. One of the nicest zoo's I've visited in Europe. Well worth a visit if your'e visiting France any time soon.
18.08.18
One of the many small harbours dotted around the island. Never actually seen any boats dock but it's a great place for swimming and diving off.
17.08.18
One of the many beaches I spent my summer holidays as kid. Probably over 20 years ago a small me would have been jumping off this pier with not a care in the world (obviously with the tide slightly higher).
16.08.18
Technically it's still summer for a little while yet but sometimes you just cant help notice the thin layer of golden leaves starting to form on the ground.
15.08.18
Took the afternoon off work to head to the West Show. Plenty to see and do including the mower racing championships. It does not look easy and there were plenty of flying mower moments to add to the adrenaline!
