Finley and Jude living their best lives in the water! So glad we’re surrounded by the sea on days like today.

SCARECROW WALK

July 23, 2022 in Photography

23.07.22

Normally an event we do on a Sunday but this year we packed it into to an action packed day of scarecrows, pool swimming, lunching, ice creaming, sea swimming, parking and sun setting.

COMMA

Another butterfly to check off this list this year but I’m not very happy with this shot. Only took a few and they were all out focus. This was the sharpest of the bunch.

ROYAL GUERNSEY AGRICULTURAL & HORTICULTURAL SHOW

I saw the advertisement on the wall of Saumarez Park so though I’d show my support for another year and see some of they islands finest livestock.

COMMON BLUE (MALE)

Struggled to keep my energy levels up so went for a nice easy macro shot. I say easy but it really wasn’t easy when these butterflies just want to lead you deeper into the dry grasses!

I had been following a dragonfly but that one got the better of me and buggered off into another field!

ESCAPEES

Quite a few of these piglets had crawled under the electric fence for a little wander! I did go back later with Finley and they’d gone back in to their enclosure to have a snooze.

CAVING

When you live on a rock, you need to explore the rock. This was the perfect way to cool off after covering around 2 miles towards Icart and back to Petit Bot.

Little miss Alana looking a bit too grown up for me. Bless her though, she’s a good egg.

Thanks to everyone who made Finley’s birthday an amazing day, he had a great time. Couldn’t let them all dissapear without getting a group shot of all his mates and cousins!

EIGHT

Our little man turns eight years old today. I’m so proud of him and I love him more than he will ever know. He’s my little hero and everything about him reminds me of me when I was his age. The same passion, the same struggles and the same disruptive charm. Happy birthday mate.

Also, what better way to spend your birthday than to have it one the last day of school when you know you’ll be doing sweet FA!

MOORHEN CHICK

Saw a few of these chicks around the pond at Saumarez park this afternoon. What amazed me more is the amount of ducks kicking around this year!

Uninterrupted panoramic views over Petit Port, Moulin Huet and Saints Bay. Such an idyllic spot to stop and unwind, even if it is only for ten minutes!

22 LEAVERS

In the blink of an eye, Alana’s time at St Mary & St Michael has come to an end. All the girls are close to each other but Alana and Harriette have know and been with each other since they started play school 8 years ago!

They are both going on to St Sampson together but in their words, they are all big fishes in a very small pond and they still have their whole loves ahead of them.

COMMON BLUE (FEMALE)

July 11, 2022 in Photography

One of favourite butterflies, the Common Blue. The males have an amazing bright blue upper wing but the females have a darker wing although further north in the UK, the bluer they are apparently!

The standard nature call trek from Shell Beach. I think everyone I saw stopped to admire the views!

Took the kids away for the weekend to get some Herm therapy which was definitely needed. Met up with Mike and Mel on the boat to give us those holiday feels.

GAME FACE

The classic school sports day Sack Race! Finley obviously had every intention of flying off the mark and getting his A game on. Not sure what Alana was doing in the background though?

SAINTS HARBOUR

I’m not actively taking part in the 30 Bays but I’m going to do my best to visit most of them over the next few weeks. Feels like a small Mediterranean fishing port.
