A picture perfect springtime elevated St Peter Port scene. Great to see all the leaves appearing as well.

When you spend so much time doubting yourself and contemplating life, its easy to forget how a dramatic sunset can pick you back up. Good old L’Ancresse, a place that holds many happy memories!

Qute a few young calves along the main road just past Bordeaux. Only one pure Guernsey cow in the mix though!

Went for a wander round the Port Soif nature trail to see what I could find. Lots of flies, bees and a few butterflies and also these little critters very well camouflaged on the leaves.

The sun came out for a few hours so I took myself out for a stroll around Port Soif. Still plenty of life left on the ground but it won’t be for much longer.

Lovely day with Danni and the kids. Finished off with a cooling splash in th padding pool.

Kept it nice and easy this morning. Not much inspiration in my head but I was up and I never let myself head home without a few frames, even if I know I could do better.

HEAVY RAIN
in Photography

For me, the clouds and rain make or break a landscape image. I know exactly what I want in my head and I will search for those visions if it means I get absolutely soaked and using a valuable Sunday lie in. After nearly 7 years of exploring almost every square mile of the island, it’s nearly impossible to find new locations. The answer is to keep going back to your favourites and see it in a different light.

Who needs Royal Ascot when you’ve got Sheep Racing. It’s over in 20 seconds but it draws in the crowds and makes a great photo opportunity!

Apart from a week of blue skis, nothing shouts summer more than a sunflower in full bloom. Not one of my creations unfortunately.

It’s hard to put into words how beautiful it was this morning. Almost completely flat seas as far as the eye can see. This is one of those mornings I’ll remember for a long time.

First day of my two weeks off work and celebrating our 11th wedding anniversary in the place it all happened. I think I speak for all the people who’ve ever visited Herm that it holds a special place in your heart that will always draw you back for more, year after year. I want our kids to remember these days and one day look back and appreciate how lucky they actually are.

Because, the sun was out and when it shines in Guernsey, the beach is the best place to be.

GATEKEEPER

Found around 50 of these Gatekeepers on the edge of a field up at Pleinmont. Never seen so many in one place. There’s a few butterflies on my list to find this summer, the main one that I’ve only found once is the Green Hairstreak. I found one a few years ago on some gorse at Petit Bot but didn’t get a chance to get a shot.

Spend way too much time relaxing today and the motivation was well gone by the time I went out. The rain was lingering overhead and all I wanted to do was just veg on the sofa.

FOG

A typical summers day as the weather warms up. This shot reminds me of one of the lochs we drove past in Scotland, an eerie but calm and gentle feel to it.
