Guernsey giving off some epic summer vibes today. Great to see so many people out enjoying the sunshine. Welcome to the great British Summer!

Just about as far away as you can get from civilization in Guernsey. I had to be extra cautious not only scrambling down here but also not annoying the seagulls too much. I think this is a prime breeding spot for the birds.

A travelers nightmare, but this happens every year and there’s a long hot summer at the end of it!

Years ago I never thought I’d be so excited to see these wild orchids in bloom. As I’ve grown older I’ve learnt to appreciate where we live and whats around us. Summer in Guernsey is pretty special.

One of my favourite (and there are many) places to escape from the world to watch the sun rise. This time of year it’s very rare you bump into anyone else.

5 hours spent pressure washing around the house, of course I had to let Finley experience it. The pressure nearly threw him back a few times!

A navigational marker on the east coast which I used to refer to as ‘The Ice Cream’ for obvious reasons.

Not far off the longest day of the year and those long, hot beach days are hopefully just around the corner!

In memory of Judith Kerr, author of one my favourite childhood books ‘Mog’ and sadly my mum and dad’s fourth cat Bubbles who went to cat heaven last night. Ironically Mogs final story sees him also pass away.

Mixing up the macro combinations as a little experiment. This is the 50mm prime with another 60mm of extension tubes. Since moving to full frame from apsc, every focal length and optimal setting I’d adjusted to with macro went out the window. It’s a case of start again and see what works and what doesn’t.

I had no idea what these were called until I looked it up today but I’ve noticed them all over the island. Every time I drive past some I think about stopping and never do. These were in the middle of L’Ancresse common early this morning.

Also known as Shield Bugs, these can be found on almost any vegetation. Believed to have originated from Ethiopia.

Another day of full on travel racking up the air miles and just generally hating airport departure lounges. Standard wing shot to fill the gap.

Last full day in Tenerife with thee little monkey’s. They got on like peas in a pod but let them loose for 5 minutes and all hell breaks loose!

Just aimlessly wandering around with not a care in the world, but trying to keep cool at the same time.

Voted the worlds best Wildlife Park on Trip Advisor, this is one of the most amazing places if you enjoy the natural world and conservation. Paid a little extra for some behind the scene tours which took us to some fascinating places.

A last minute change of plan led us to another fantastic zoo called Jungle Park. The park was well maintained and more importantly, the animals seemed happy. Nice drive up the mountain to get there too!

Fantastic whale and dolphin cruise off the coast of Las Americas. Saw loads of pilot whales and dolphins followed by a much needed swim off the boat.

Didn’t take many photos in Siam Park but I wanted Alana to have at least one reminder she was there. Awesome place, if you ever get the change it’s a must visit waterpark.
