My final photosession in Guernsey was at the bathing pools - it was high tide with a strong wind so good conditions for waves but you would not think for swimming. However, a couple of men and then two teenagers braved the waves for a bracing dip.

Les Vardes Quarry Guernsey
On Monday, we took the nature walk that has been opened around Les Vardes Quarry in Guernsey. I have always enjoyed large scale 'industrial' landscapes so enjoyed watching and photographing the operations there!

Time-Lapse Movie of Waves

Nature Walk Guernsey
David took me to visit the hide at La Claire Mare nature reserve on a warm sunny afternoon. There were lots of butterflies around - very striking Small Coppers and lots of Speckled Woods. From the hide we had good views of Greenshank, Dunlin, Egrets and Teal. After a walk along the coast, I headed ended up photographing the very many insects on the Ivy flowers. The Hornet Hoverfly was particularly striking for it large size and colouration and I also enjoyed the striped bee Colletes hederae which has only in recent years spread through southern England as far as Staffordshire

Guernsey South Coast Shores. 2. Moulin Huet
The sun was obviously in the wrong position to get a good view of the Pea Stacks from Moulin Huet - immortalised in the Renoir Painting but I enjoy using a Big Stopper filter to slow down the shutterspeed and capturing colours in the sea and rocks. A couple of monochrome conversions to see what the potential is for this medium.
Guernsey South Coasts Shore. 1. Le Gouffre and Saints Harbour
A beautiful morning to explore some of the south coast rocky shoreline. Though not good light photographically, managed to pick out some details with interesting shapes and colours and overall views of the wonderful cliffs. The first four images are from a walk along the headland at Le Goffre, followed by images from Saints Harbour
