iPhriday – Bee Cool Baby
Just a quick iPhone snap when I was walking Miss Gidget one morning this week. We were in a hurry and I usually don’t take my phone – too many things to juggle. But I saw this bee, and I have a bit of a thing for bees, so there I was, one hand holding…

Favourite Things – Backpack
Many of you know that one of my favourite things is macro photography and I’m interested lately in practicing product photography. I love isolating a subject, as I’ve done before, here: I’ve stuck with predominantly white backgrounds but one of things I want to start investigating is other backgrounds. Separate to this, I’ve been addicted…

State of Mind
I love waking up in time to see this glorious sight. I love the beams of light shining out through the clouds. I love that every day starts with the potential for greatness. And then the day begins. What will you make of it? For The Daily Post’s Weekly Photo Challenge, Ben says: Every photo…

Cover Makeover 2016 – Week 1
As you know, Lucile and I stopped the PhotoRehab CoverMakeover at the end of last year. We were sad to stop it, but other commitments meant that we didn’t have time to do it justice. Luckily, Julz stepped up and took over for us and has re-launched the challenge. Please join her in this first…

iPhriday – Contemplating Life and Eternity
I have started taking a different route to work lately and I have discovered this bicycle rack with this same sign attached. It kind of makes you wonder which would be the worst eternal predicament – stuck in traffic, stuck on a bicycle or stuck trudging along the same old footpath. Which would you choose?…

iPhriday – The Pink Chicks
I’m finally able to join Lisa from GrayDaysandCoffee‘s iPhriday again! It’s been so long and I’m so happy to be back. One of the most important things in a girl’s life is her hairdresser and I’m no exception! My brilliant stylist and friend, Mel, has been giving my hair the fab-treatment for some 12 years…

A Housewarming Gift
I live in Melbourne, almost 2,000km from Brisbane, where I lived before. When I was looking for somewhere to live, it was difficult to do so from Brisbane. Online tools are very useful, but it’s just not the same as seeing the apartment in the flesh. Once I had found a place I liked (based…

Looking Forward
I love to play with photo-editing apps on my iPhone. I took this photo during my shoot for my last post and then opened it in Pixlr to add the Silk overlay effect and a frame. Next, I tried a new app called Whitagran to add the text. Do you believe that good things are…

Taking Macro to the Next Level
Sometimes my job is a lot of fun. Last week, we had a big trade display at a conference here in Melbourne. I got to play with a bunch of toys, and learn from some of our suppliers visiting from Japan and The Netherlands. You know how much I love macro photography, right? I was…

Time Passes
For The Daily Posts’s Weekly Photo Challenge : Time. This photo was taken in Mackay, very near my home town – we were driving for dinner with extended family. I like this shot – I took it from the car window (Dad was driving😋) with my Olympus OMD EM5 – such a fleeting moment…
