PEACOCK

01.03.19

Went for a walk around Chouet hoping to find some birds or prey. I did find a buzzard but got distracted by the ear piercing call of this peacock in the field below. I was lucky enough to see it in all its glory and I knew in my mind exactly the shot I wanted.

I had set up at Le Guet, waiting for a rainbow to appear over Cobo. That quickly turned into a wet and windy disaster so headed for shelter in St Matthews Church. Played with a few light combo’s and settled for one single lamp over the organ.

GREY HERON

27.02.19

This heron really doesn’t care about people, he’s more interested in catching every last fish in the pond. It’s easy to find and photograph, the personal challenge is trying to capture him in the best possible light. This was about 09:30 and apart from a few blown out feathers, I think I’m finally happy and can let this one go.

EARTH MOVERS

Les Vardes quarry is slowly coming to the end of it’s life and no doubt the next generations will only know this as a deep reservoir. I can’t begin to imaging how many tonnes of stone have been extracted from here but it’s helped shape our islands infrastructure for decades.

So proud of our little boy. Today he made the big decision to ditch the stabilizers and within 30 minutes he was flying! He was so happy with himself and I got a little bit emotional for him . Moments like these come and go with the blink of eye.

Super proud of Alana for gaining her 200 metres badge this morning. She handled all the strokes like a pro and these little steps really boost a child’s confidence in the water.

DONKEYS!

Checking out the fine asses enjoying the sunshine in the rural lanes of St Martin. Some days it’s nice to just get back to my roots and wander around aimlessly to see whats lies around the next corner.
