St Ouens Bay, Jersey. Tides coming in. #scape for Friday. #beach #jersey #photography #artchallenges #eastcoastkin

A rather impatient Jasper Cat waiting for me to finish my first cup of tea of the day and not appreciating the need to update my Bluesky photo feed 😂 #weekcforcloseup #alphabetchallenge #artchallenges #photography #cat #eastcoastkin

One for #forestfriday and looking through branches out into Grouville Bay in Jersey. Tides out and seaweed strewn across the sands which seems to accumulate more after storms have blown through. #photography #artchallenges #forest #jersey #eastcoastkin

Central market in St Helier, Jersey. Early start and a rather atmospheric image shot in black and white before the market opens. An image for today’s #coloraday theme #bwfri #classicmono #artchallenges #market #jersey

It’s that time of year where you dust off your best Scottish accent as an excuse to celebrate Burns night (due 25th). “Some hae meat an canna eat, And some wad eat that want it; But we hae meat, and we can eat, And sae the Lord be thankit.” #foodonfriday #photography #artchallenges #haggis #burns

Bit of snow which is unusual in Jersey, gives a different perspective on my garden and a nice shot through the archway for the day’s #palacesandgardens theme #throughtheframe #photography #garden #snow #artchallenges

Positioned by the wheelhouse on the RRS Discovery ship which is permanently berthed in Dundee. Looking through the rigging towards the V&A Museum with its unique vent like construction and the road bridge over the Tay. #urbangaze Thursday #artchallenges #photography #dundee #discovery #ship

Favourite place for a sunset? This takes some beating. La Braye slip with Rocco Tower out at sea in St Ouens Bay in Jersey. #coloraday #yellowthu #jersey #sunset #photography #artchallenges #eastcoastkin #beach #sea

Singing in the bath, a Robin appears to be giving it loads. #birdoftheday #singing #robin #nature #photography

Show me a cat that doesn’t like a chin scratch…. #weekcforcloseup #alphabetchallenge #classicmono #artchallenges #cat #photography

This way to the St Helier fish-market in Jersey….rather colourful murals along the entrance wall. A contribution to the day’s theme of #wackyWednesdayart #artchallenges #photography #jersey

A full stem of Orchid flowers looking rather resplendent under the close eye of Winston an Indian runner duck. #artchallenges and the weekly theme of #weekcforcloseup in the #alphabetchallenge #orchid #photography

Seed feeder buddies…. #birdoftheday #feedingtime theme. A Goldfinch glaring intently at the camera, the Great Tit making a concerted effort as if digging for treasure. #photography #artchallenges #nature #birds

Sunday morning cat…he can’t decide if this is time for a nap or if human about to get up and make a cup of tea which means breakfast! #photography #cat #stunday #artchallenges

Bit of a watch buff on the quiet. This is a Steinhart which I find fits well and as I was feeling a bit artistic yesterday here’s a shot for #bnwmacro in today’s #artchallenges #photography #classicmono #watch

Goldfinch perched up high and a bit befuddled with all this snow #birdoftheday #shortbeaks #goldfinch #photography #artchallenges

Greve d’Azette beach in Jersey, showers have passed but weather unsettled, a raw wind and freezing temperatures keeping folk at home. #scape #bwfri #coloraday #photography #beach #jersey #artchallenges #classicmono

I love a quirky book shelf or two, plenty of variety in there and enough to keep you occupied…failing which grab a ball or bat! #weekbforbooks #alphabetchallenge #books #photography

A reddish rose for #coloraday and the #redwed daily challenge. #photography #rose #januarty2026 #flower #artchallenges

Robin taking a bath, you can almost sense the release from the daily grind….a bit of solitude at last. #birdoftheday #solitude #artchallenges #photography #robin

A multi-artchallenges capture for today with a mackerel #sky over Les Echrehous reef off #Jersey #rockintuesday #tidesouttuesday #januarty2026 #photography #coloraday #bluetue #reef #beach #artchallenges

One of my favourite places to visit, Les Echrehous reef off Jersey on a blazing hot sunny day…..thoughts turn to it in the depths of northern hemisphere winter. A #blueskymonday shot if ever there was. #photography #jersey #beach #reef #artchallenges

Frayed rope used as a “pull me up” on some steep granite steps by St Brelades Bay jetty in Jersey. One for the #bnwmacro challenge. #classicmono #photography #artchallenges

An absolute unit of an owl, Horned Owl if I’m not mistaken, quite friendly believe it or not although the talons wrapped around my Son’s arm left him a little uneasy! Otherwise gorgeous plumage for the #birdoftheday challenge with theme #feathers&form #artchallenges #photography #owl

Took a trip up railway walk and discovered a hidden path….wonder where it goes? Slightly eerie vibe. #forestfriday challenge #photography #coloraday #bwfri #artchallenge #photography

Sparrows at the water fountain for today’s #birdoftheday #shortbeaks #artchallenges Two perched on the side whilst their buddy takes a dip. #photography #eastcoastkin #birds #sparrows #fountain

Setting sail for a morning race from Gunsite beach in St Aubins Bay, Jersey. Always strikes me as a bit chaotic as the crew scramble to get away… ropes, tiller, rudders, trapeze wires everywhere. #humansofbluesky #photography #hobiecat #jersey #sailing #eastcoastkin

Circles (roundels perhaps?) of snow covered concrete blocks which form part of the sea wall defences on St Helier’s waterfront. A depiction of abstract architecture for the #alphabetchallenge #weekaforabstract #photography #snow #urbangaze

Greve d’Azette beach in Jersey for the #tidesouttuesday challenge #photography #jersey #eastcoastkin

One for sorrow….a Magpie takes flight. #birdoftheday #blackandwhite #magpie #photography

A nice start to the new year and a chilly walk on Greve d’Azette beach #blueskymonday #photography #eastcoastkin #jersey …glad to be back! 🥂😎

A final one from me for a while, off to re-charge my creative battery, it has been fun and some really nice challenges. Thanks to those that take the time and effort to do so 👏 hat tip #eastcoastkin I’ll be back, don’t know where, don’t know when. Love to all ❤️ #junesea #shore #photography #jersey

Blessed with many beaches spread around our little Island, drop in off the sea wall at Le Hocq in Jersey. Very inviting and a lovely blue. #blueskymonday #photography #jersey

Mountains on a Monday…chilly up there. #mountainmonday #photography #snow

St Ouen’s Bay, sun, sand and sea. Toying with light and filtration for that silvery blue effect. A shot for #stunday and the iconic line up of La Rocco Tower and Corbiere lighthouse in Jersey. #photography #beach #jersey

Evening puff and occasional delight with a fine Cognac to hand. #bnw_macro #photography #cigar #cognac #evening #blackandwhite

A scape for Friday. A wintry sun reflects off the sea and wet cobbles on the old Crail harbour slipway in Fife. #scape #photography #crail #harbour #sea

La Rocco Tower sunset and silvery grey seas. #junesea and day’s theme #grey #photography #sunset #jersey

A blustery day and no chance of taking the path to the lighthouse. #rockinTuesday #photography #lighthouse #jersey

Lovely evening for a surf at sunset. Two on a board for #junesea and day’s theme #two #photography #surfing #jersey St Ouen’s Bay with Corbiere lighthouse in the distance and a hazy sunset after a long hot day.

Deep and meaningful? I’ll let the photo speak for itself. #junesea challenge and #sand #photography #beach #jersey

Summer solstice just passed in northern hemisphere. Seems fitting to have the setting sun to mark the occasion. Nice shot for #stunday too which helps. Iconic view of Corbiere lighthouse in Jersey. #photography #sunset #jersey

New challenge and theme in #bnw_macro for Saturday and Sunday challenges. Happy to share an image of a rose #photography #classicmono #blackandwhite #rose
