Autumn

Pushing my luck with he waves crashing against the wall but I think this sums up the weather today. A little taster of what winter has install for us!

13 hours into the night and 30 minutes before sunrise. Always loved this spot and will no doubt revisit here many more times.

One of those stunning calm and cool Autumnal mornings with a touch of mist and delicate clouds.

A tiny glimmer of sunlight breaking through the clouds which really helped lift the mood of this image.

I try to walk as much as possible and this hobby really helps. Some days can be frustrating, others just a bit uninspiring but when you take a moment to appreciate what’s around, you realise it doesn’t really matter. I can at least walk away and know I tried my best. Broke a PB power walking back up to the car!

I’ve always thought the north corner of Castle Cornet looks a lot like the the B-2 Stealth Bomber.

I had just under an hour to kill while Alana was at dancing so to spice things up I set myself a one hour photo challenge. With ten minutes to go I remembered about this curvy rock formation which always holds water. Lovely colour after the sun went down!

It finally happened. Luckily I record backup jpg’s to the CF card but its still frustrating when you become so used to RAW files. The camera did warn me but I assumed it was a passing error. Backup your files people.

A last ditch attempt to get a photo this evening. There were some great opportunities today but unfortunately I just couldn’t be in the right place at the right time.

Probably the worst conditions for macro, but in between gusts of wind and this wet stuff falling from the sky, I managed to grab a few shots of a Common Blue. What I didn’t realise is I’d accidentally destroyed a spiders web which he wasn’t too pleased about. Sorry Mr Spider.

Just some cows in a field. Looked like there was over a hundred just mooching around, enjoying the sunshine!

The transition from summer to winter is finally here. We’ve been pretty lucky, nearly the whole of September with next to no rain, no storms, lots of sunshine and calm misty mornings. All good things must come to an end though!

The nearest land mass in this direction is Plounamac’h, France, 55 miles away. It’s a lovely spot to just stare into the deep blue and unwind.

Quite a lazy shot, my mind was running at half speed this morning. After a long summer of early rises it seems harder now to get up now even though sunrise is nearly at 07:00. Still a cracking view to start the weekend!

There comes a point when you get to know a spot extremely well. To the point where you can guarantee to find dragonflies and the precise location they tend to rest.
Backlit from the sun with the background positioned into a shady area which worked well but the down side is the blown out areas on the eyes. Not much I could do about that though.

Finally, the opportunity presented itself with not one, but over ten Peacock butterflies all in one small area of the reservoir car park. I only pulled up there to figure out where I was going to head to.

Sadly, today we said our goodbyes to my grandad ‘pappy’. I have many fond memories that have been circling around in my head but one we shared is the exploration of Guernsey coastline. He often spoke of diving the shipwrecks off the coast around here, even bringing us plates and cutlery from the wrecks to use at home!
Everyone deals with deaths in different ways and I wanted to express it in a way I think he’d appreciate.
We’ll all miss you and until we meet again, rest in peace x

Having carefully planned to head somewhere else this morning, I woke up late and left myself very little time for travel. There’s a field by my house which is always covered with a layer of mist on clear, calm nights so it’s I know whenever there’s mist in the field, it’s very likely the common land will be misty too.
So calm and peaceful when it’s like this!
