After weeks of seemingly endless rain on the Sussex coast, I managed to catch a clear morning on Wednesday at Cuckmere Haven. This was one of the last mornings before the sun starts rising inland behind the cliffs - a quiet, rare window of light, and a welcome break in the weather!

Making the most of some recent winter light on the South Downs. These three photos show the rolling hills never disappoint when the sun eventually comes out. #sussex #southdowns

Dusting off my macro skills with the 100-400mm lens after way too long away, with a photo of a Common Blue butterfly on the South Downs in Sussex.

A couple of photos showing Mount Athos rising in the fading light, as seen from the sculpted rock formations of Halkidiki’s coastline.

Last light touches granite shaped by wind and time - Halkidiki’s weathered stone revealed in stillness.

A look back at this spring in Sussex - from misty mornings on the South Downs and bluebell woods, to wild garlic and sea thrift on the coast. Here are a few favourites, but there’s a full set of 14 images on the blog post on my website if you fancy a look: bit.ly/sussex-landscape-spring

A lovely Sunday walk on the fringes of the South Downs near Plumpton, led me back to an old favourite — this solitary tree standing watch over a golden barley field. Lovely to see summer already taking hold, with the first hints of harvest on the way. #SouthDowns #Sussex

Two Spring scenes from a recent wander exploring some new Sussex woodlands, where the wild garlic is now in bloom. #sussex

Into the green - A recent walk through an East Sussex woodland in spring felt like stepping into a world freshly painted in green. #sussex #spring

Another photo from Thursday morning's visit to a Sussex woodland. #sussex

St Andrew’s Church in Alfriston rising through the mist #sussex #southdowns

Still feels a little early in the season — the bluebells just beginning to stir and the canopy only starting to flush with that lime green, but with soft shadows and some nice light after dawn, I managed to find a few compositions. #sussex

Spent Tuesday morning chasing the mist… only to discover the source in the 3rd photo: the South Downs's secret mist factory! Turns out, Mother Nature’s been outsourcing. #southdowns #southdownsnp #sussex
