After wearing out the shutter, I finally got my old dslr fixed which I used to love using for macro. The body and APSC lenses are super lightweight which really helps in handheld situations. Point is, the expensive gear isn’t necessarily the best in all situations.

There’s been a mill on this site since the mid 1300’s with water flowing through from ancient streams along Talbot Valley. Recently overhauled and rebuilt by it’s owners it can easily generate and power a small house.

The stunning National Trust land tucked away in Quanteraine Valley. The waterwheel was being repaired but it turned my attention to the charm and character of the old Guernsey cottages. This cottage is over 150 years old, built in 1866!

The iconic L’Ancresse Loophole Tower No.5. I’ve waited over a year for the right moment to get this shot. I wanted high clouds for the pinks and the ferns and grasses needed to be a golden brown to work. Think this was the right moment for me!

We took Milo for a much needed groom today. He was starting to look a little rough around the edges but now looks 10 times smaller and feels like a puppy again!

Today’s mood, like waiting for a bus that’s never going to come. These days come and go but every day is like a new project and you can sleep on it, recharge and start again! Giving up is not an option.

Rather than shoot the cliche scene, this is shot from on the Pea Stacks looking back up to the usual viewpoint. Its easy to get down with a fairly clear path but don’t go down in shorts!

It’s been a while since I stretched my legs down here. Following the tide as it recedes with the perfect untouched golden sands.

Open fields and woodlands are a haven for dragonflies at this time of year. Saw three within 15 minutes but this one had just eaten a fly and was chilled out enough for me to get within touching distance.

Last day of the Meteorological Summer at St Martins Point. This was about 30 minutes before sunrise and there was an amazing orange/purple glow in the sky which faded pretty quickly.
