Not really sure what made me take a picture of this. Went for a blustery walk around Icart at lunch, nearly took off it was so windy! Keeping my head down to keep my face dryish, it seemed to catch my eye. Abstracty Guernsey roads, classic pine tree roots destroying the roads and the needles to add detail.

Surreal light as the hail shower passed over me this morning. I was prepared with waterproofs and an umbrella but being in the middle of it and being in the moment makes it all worth while.

Sometimes they drive me up the wall but these two are my world and and I love them more than they will ever know.

I’ve wanted an olive tree in the garden for years but can’t justify £1000 any time soon. The best I can do is admire the one at Oatlands which is decorated every Christmas.

For the first time in six years I went out with a drained battery in my camera. I normally check the night before but for the last few days I just didn’t bother. Luckily I had a spare in my car which was half a mile away when I realised but I managed to salvage some of the stunning light when I made it back.

AKA - Vale Church. Its all about knowing which buttons to press, or in this case, locating the electric cupboard and navigating through the 16 different light switches.

As the tide recedes, Moulin Huet transforms into from treacherous rocky coast to a golden sandy beach. Half way down you get a mix of sand and strange spongy rock formations which created hundreds of rock pools to play with. Besides the cold, this place is an amazing playground with the camera, especially in the winter.
This was about 08:30, just as the sun was rising over Jerbourg.

A festive looking Little Chapel with the added blue lights which I think really add life to the building at night. I’ve been informed there’s been complaints to do with religious beliefs and the colors of the church so FYI, they are only switched on between 16:00 and 20:00 during December.

Today was Alana’s turn to perform her role as a sheep. Bless her, she has way more confidence in front of a crowd than I ever did (or have). Scary thing is, next year will be her last nativity before heading off to secondary school!

The annual school nativity, with Finley doing an amazing job as one of the shepherds. Got to admire their little minds, so much to learn in such a small amount of time.

Part of me wishes I’d traveled the extra mile to be on the other side of this rain cloud but it was still a fascinating sight to watch the curtain of rain pass across Rocquaine.

Some people have gone above and beyond with decorations this year. This is just up from Kings Mills but this giant reindeer is just the beginning. The house itself is something else.

One of the most beautiful spots on the south coast, even better with some golden winter sun illuminating the cliff faces.

After an hour round trip to Pleinmont this morning, the only shot I actually liked was the rain falling behind Herm. Pretty much sums up the weather for the day I think. Stay warm, I’m off to eat steak and drink beer all day.

The rain got the better of me today. Sheltered in this alley between Contree Mansell and Mansell Street, it was the only shot I had the enthusiasm for. Interestingly though, these buildings date back the the mid 1600’s so there must be some interesting stories from around here. You can only wander!

Stunning morning in Guernseyland. It seemed to last a long time but going by the forecast, its downhill for the next few day!
