    Rounded

    I went a bit crazy with this dandelion. It’s quite difficult with them waving around in the breeze but I wanted to get up super close to this one. Imagine if I could cut it and take it home without it falling apart and photograph under controlled conditions?! This was taken from such a weird…

    The Flowers of Brunswick East (11)

    Another random little collection today. Those yellow ones are super tiny, growing about knee-high, just weeds on the side of the road. They were waving about in the breeze so I just shot them top down. For the full story, go here. x desleyjane

    Busy-ness.

    I happened upon this interesting little plant, perhaps a member of the Callistemon family? Such interesting details in this plant. But then I spotted a busy little bee at work. They aren’t super-sharp shots, I was just at 1/200s, but I like them anyway. Here are a few more shots of the plant, which incidentally…

    I just love this photo, these little buds, mostly not in focus. But the light is pretty, the colour is lovely, the depth of field is pleasant. So tiny and delicate. Olympus OMD EM5, 60mm macro, handheld, low light. x desleyjane

    Five Minutes with Blue Flowers and a Kitten – RegularRandom

    I took my camera out yesterday when I walked Gidget but I didn’t take many photos unfortunately. However, I did happen about this kitten – it was quite a surprise because he was at eye-level, in a garden that was up a short flight of stairs above the pavement. I was originally drawn to the…

    I would expect this flower to purple, right? Lavender-coloured lavender, right? Who knew?! x desleyjane

  • A Shoulder Update

    A Shoulder Update

    As most of you know, I had an x-ray and an ultrasound on my shoulder last week to try to figure out what’s going on. It was an incredibly painful experience, maneuvering my arm into all sorts of crazy positions. I saw the doctor on Friday to get the results and he recommended I see…

    The Flowers of Brunswick East (8)

    A very strange plant, this one. I have to call upon my lovely gardening friends to help me out! Actually, I don’t know what most of the flowers I post are… Would you believe I did a Botany class at University? LOL. x desleyjane

  • A Little More Sunflower Magic

    A Little More Sunflower Magic

    As you know, I love macro photography and flowers are my favourite macro subject. So when I had the opportunity to photograph sunflowers for last weekend’s RegularRandom, I made sure to get some close macro shots to share with you. And of courses, I couldn’t help myself, I had to play with the editing a…

    The Flowers of Brunswick East (7)

    A random little collection today. I didn’t realise I shot the little ant in the trio of blossoms until I was editing. He’s not very sharp I’m afraid… Olympus OMD EM5, 60mm macro, handheld, low light, needing a nap. x desleyjane
