GHOST WATER

May 18, 2022 in Landscape, Photography

18.05.22

As the skies greyed over, my mind was shouting black and white. Sketchy waves nearly had me a few times and the sea spray wrote off 8most of the images!

MARSHMALLOW TOWER

May 17, 2022 in Photography

17.05.22

The gap on the horizon looked promising but the wind pushed the thicker moody clouds east. An almost could have been moment.

QUANTERAINE VALLEY

May 16, 2022 in Photography

16.05.22

In the National Trust grounds of Le Moulin de Bas, set back from the now working water wheel, the geese were guarding their patch. Lots of ducklings running around too! It felt like a scene from an old ladybird book, back in the day.

GANDYS

15.05.22

Kids loved it, I loved it and I think everyone else in the crowd loved it too. I will be returning next year!

FORT LE MARCHANT

May 14, 2022 in Photography

14.05.22

I was hoping for a more dramatic stormy end to the day but it didn’t really happen. Still a great display of Thrift along the coast.

WEST COAST

May 13, 2022 in Photography

13.05.22

I’ve always liked the look of these cosy little cottages along the west coast. The thought of a roaring fire watching the waves crasher in the winter seems more appealing as I get older.

ROUSSE

May 12, 2022 in Photography

12.05.22

Still waiting for that 2022 ultimate sunrise! These clouds thinned out pretty quickly as I left home so didn't quite live up to expectations but hopefully with the warmer weather comes some epic storm clouds.

CASTLE ROAD

May 11, 2022 in Photography

11.05.22

Took the long way home to find a ‘classic Guernsey’ image. Bordeaux always has some interesting fishing boats and these beauties have had a fresh lick of paint and the flag was still flying proud from Liberation Day.

Back into the macro hunt for the summer, starting off with a Green-veined white. Love the blue eyes!

LIBERATION 77

The biggest celebrations in the Guernsey calendar, Liberation Day. Popped up to L’Ancrsse to watch the cavalcade with an hour stop to check out the vehicles. Happy Liberation Day folks!

MOUSE TRAP

Saved this little mouse from ‘Death by Cat’, which I think it was grateful for. It was only about the size of my thumb!

HERM HARBOUR

Another early shift in Herm to build the final pieces of furniture for the season. The island is definitely back in full summer mode.

LE GOUFFRE

Some spots are worth walking the extra mile and this one his no exception. That water was so clear!

MAY THE FOURTH

May 04, 2022 in Photography

04.05.22

I always venture up to this spot round this time of year but try to time it as close to low tide as possible to really emphasise the crystal clear waters and the extent of the sandy beach at Petit Bot.

PARADISE BEACH

May 02, 2022 in Photography

02.05.22

Shell Beach, by far one of favourite places close to home. A little piece of paradise that I will always treasure.

Late afternoon at the end of the long weekend, it was almost deserted.

MOTION OF THE OCEAN

May 01, 2022 in Photography

01.05.22

Returning to an old favourite, the Bathing Pools. I didn’t check the tides like I normally do and the clouds didn’t really inspire but a long exposure rescued the trip!

LA SEIGNEURIE

30.04.22

Its taken 37 years but today I finally stepped foot in La Seigneurie and it didn’t disappoint. The whole site is stunning and the maze was great fun with the kids!
