FERMAIN

15.12.21

Really struggling to find inspiration the last few days. Decided to walk down to Fermain too seek said inspiration, only to find it wasn’t own there. The technical term is ‘creative block’! I’m sure it will pass, it always does.

PETIT BOT

13.12.21

A lone house nestled deep in the valley of Petit Bot. If we ever get a snow day again, this is where I’m heading first. This would look awesome with snow dusted trees and the road should be more visible. Watch this space!

NEW DAWN

09.12.21

Head in the sky at 06:30, there was a strong hint that the sky was going to burst into life. Some days it’s worth travelling the extra few miles to really experience these moments.

Every time I come down here there seems to be less and less pine trees. Either fallen in the wind or cut down at the need of their life. I’ve got a feeling the remaining pine’s won’t be around for too much longer.

SHEPHERDS WARNING

06.12.21

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.”

ONE MORE WEEK

04.12.21

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.

WINTER

03.12.21

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!

RAINBOW COLLECTION

30.11.21

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.
