I try to save this location for special, colourful sunrises and this one was no exception. I had a little issue wit the waves crashing over behind me which was a bit sketchy but I used myself as a shield and stuck with it and I was quite pleased with the results.

There are 6 ducklings in the pond at Saumarez Manor which I was hoping to photograph but they disappeared as soon as the screaming kids started feeding and shouting at the adult ducks.
I had to search ‘fat brown uk bird’ to find out the name of this bird.

That the of year when your mind starts to wonder whether you should or shouldn’t touch the shrooms. Also reminds me of how Alice in Wonderland had a massive trip from eating Agaric mushrooms, and we were exposed to that as kids when nobody gave shit.

An opportunity was brewing so I quickly drove the 2 minutes from my house (lazy!) and got to the bridge with 1 minute to spare before it pee’d down.

Fog & Signal Station at St Martins Point.
I came here yesterday but the sun was only visible through a tiny break on the horizon so I decided to return this morning with a bit more light in my favour. I had to shield the camera from the wind and wipe the filters after each shot which was a pain in the arse because all my cleaning cloths are now coated in salty water.

The tides were good but I just couldn’t find a composition I liked on the sand. The cave is always a good place to fall back on but there was very little breaks in the cloud. There’s some annoying over exposed areas on the sea but I like the rays of sunlight breaking in on the coastline.

The landscapes may be timeless but the ever changing tides creates opportunities that can’t easily be recreated. It’s a fine balance of light and motion that’s hard to predict but sometimes it just falls into place.

The time has come to start hunting down the golden autumn leaves. Surprised there’s any left after last nights gales!

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!

This is the first time a dragonfly has ever let me physically pick it up and not freak out. It didn’t stay for long but still amazed me that it just hopped on my hand!

An experience in itself, the etherial light was epic to see but it also presents it’s own challenges when editing. The colours were so intense, picking the right white balance and tones was a ball right ache. It’s one of those where you had to see and be in it to really believe it.

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

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!

The slow transition of the colder seasons is well underway but somehow we’re still hanging on to some pretty warm weather. The sky at this time of year offers some amazing details with the suns rays breaking through the high level clouds.

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!

While the kids were entertained I wandered the vast rocky shores of Roquaine for a spot of crabbin. Found a few different species and some weird looking eels but this one was the biggest one I found.

Stunning and warm autumn day on The Rock! I always struggle with clear skies but when you position the sun behind an object you can create some cool sunburst effects in camera.
