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.

Both kittens have had the snip and at six months old, the time has come to release the beasts into the wild! I’ve got money on Chewie bringing home the first bird. For now, they just sit at the back door watching the rain and kicking off when a leaf flies past the window.

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!

Technically, the ‘Golden Hour’ and normally the hour after sunrise but this morning offered so many options beforehand and the sky just kept on getting better. I was in my element, a fun ‘happy’ hour with the camera!

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.

Last day of November, finishing off with a classic Guernsey scene and a stunning rainbow. I sat through three downpours to get this shot but my persistence paid off. Luckily I found a rock to shelter behind and the rain was driving in from the west so the lens stayed relatively rain free. There was also a lot of careful planning in my mind as to where to be, along with the help of some basic sun calculation apps and rain radars.

I’ve always struggled to find the right balance between day and night in this area but I think I’ve finally found my happy medium.

The calm after the storm! Not the prettiest bay in Guernsey but the views make up for it.

Built in the late 1800’s, this used to house th families and keepers of Les Hanois Lighthouse. Now it’s three separate cottages. Every time I see this house I can’t help imagine what pain in the arse it must be to mow the front lawn!

Seeing as the chickens physically blocked the road, I though I should probably take the opportunity to grab a rural country shot.

Our beautiful little girl turned 11 today. I never though time would actually fly as quickly as I was always told it when you have children but it really does. I have thousands of photographs to look back on but physically, time just turned into a blur over the last 11 years.

Another stunning, fiery sunrise which left me speechless. My eyes have seen pretty much every possible weather combo Guernsey has to offer but these scenes just blow your mind.

Always expect the unexpected! I always feel like I’m letting myself down a bit by visiting the same location time and time again but every now and then, something really magical happens. The sun position was perfectly positioned behind the church roof, cloud cover was spot on and the colours were just phenomenal.
For me, it’s all about the journey. Without being here, I would have missed this and the experience and feeling you get can’t be explained in words.

Town Church from Market Square on a chilly autumn night. For those that didn’t know, the church hold the record for the closest pub to a church in the British Isles!

Almost a whole year I’ve waited to get down here for some stunning autumn light and this afternoon didn’t disappoint. A beautiful beach, and fascinating to observe the coastal erosion at the base of the cliffs.

Flat out day for the girls with an early birthday party for Alana who turns 11 on Wednesday. She’s got a great little group of friends and they all get on so well together. Watching her have fun is all I need in life.

A juvenile Cormorant sat, seemingly unfazed, on the edge of the pond in Saumarez Park. I was able to get extremely close to this one for some reason, even the screaming kids on bikes didn’t bother it. Great for me as it meant I could creep up and get as close as I could. I love the blue eyes in these birds.
