Winter

Believe it or not, there is some scientific understanding to the rhyme, “Red sky in the morning, shepherds warning”!
A quote from he Met Office - "Red sky in the morning, shepherds warning" means a red sky appears due to the high-pressure weather system having already moved east meaning the good weather has passed, most likely making way for a wet and windy low-pressure system.”

Not only is it great exercise getting down here, this time of year offers some fantastic winter light to play with. Although the tides were racing up on the flat beach, the cave offers a perfect window to mould a shot.

As the shortest day draws ever closer, there’s still an autumn feel in the air. The last few leaves are hanging on but but its starting to thin out. See you in the spring leaves!

Another stormy day, another rainbow hunt complete. The combo of sun, cloud and rain was perfect, it was just a case of waiting it out which luckily came sooner than I expected.

Driving around the coast to get here at 06:30 was almost like a dream. All the fields were white with frost and the air was so crisp. This spot was absolutely stunning and peaceful until some bell end started his chainsaw and began to cut up fallen branches along the path.

I tried to find one word to sum up how it felt to be out this morning, it truly was mesmerizing. This is why I cant put down the camera, even after all these years!

Took the kids for a nice hike around the water lanes in St Martin, down to Moulin Huet and back up again. Finley came home with a pet rock who now lives outside our front door.

Hit snooze, you loose. That’s my motto to myself. I’ve figured, if I focus on the time I go to bed and go straight to sleep, I can control my mind to wake up before my alarm. It’s worked three days in a row. Maybe it’s the anticipation of snow, or maybe I subconsciously repeat my motto in my sleep!
In total I had 8 layers of clothes on this morning (including two pairs of trousers) but that icy wind was a killer. As soon as the colour in the sky faded I was out of there sharp.

Over the years I’ve learnt to really appreciate our coastline. From the wildlife and and flowers in the spring to the spectacular and violent seas in the winter, nothing clears your head more than getting out and experiencing what’s on our doorstep. That said, my toes and fingers had lost all feeling by the time I took this. Must get thicker gloves and socks!

Even on a grey day, there’s still great views to be seen. I was hoping for a drifting snow storm to pass across but most of it seemed to be falling out at sea.

Jersey in the distance nearly 20 miles away with some amazing light rays breaking through the clouds.

That Friday feeling, not giving a shit what’s going on, just enjoying the sunshine and looking forward to some snow (hopefully).

Always loved this quaint little cottage at the foot of Petit Bot. Seeing the smoke from the chimney just made it even more inviting on a murky day like today.

Rush hour on a Wednesday evening. The only difference, most were already at home! Normally backed up with hundred of cars, it felt like a ghost town tonight.

Could you resist taking a photo? I couldn’t!
For those who’ve ever wandered, filled to the brim the reservoir holds 1091 Megalitres (1.1 billion litres) holding nearly a quarter of the islands water.

Braving the elements, umbrella in hand, the opportunity was there. Amazing weather to be out in though! Hail, rain, thunder, sunshine and wind. It’s a constant battle to keep dry and protect your gear but I love to challenge myself each day (some more than others).

So nice to feel the warmth of the sun on my face for what feels like an eternity but once the sun dropped it the reality of winter crept in again.

Another take on Marble Bay and the Pine Forest. Timed it just right from leaving home to power walking/running down here and back up before heading to work.
