  • Treat not Trick

    For The Daily Post’s Weekly Photo Challenge: Treat! It’s always a treat to go out for drinks, dinner, catch ups with friends. I caught this guy hard at work while I was sipping on my Grenache.     I think he was mixing my friend’s Candied Cuban: x desleyjane

  • In The Pink

    For Lucile’s Photo101 Rehab Clinic. Because everybody needs a little pink in their life. x desleyjane

  • #QLDstorms

    We Queenslanders are quite used to crazy storms popping up out of nowhere and we’ve become quite good at predicting when a storm is going to happen. They can  be quite destructive so we have to be careful to keep safe. I think sometimes we get a little blasé about it, which can be dangerous.…

  • The Yellow (and Pink) Rose of Brisbane

    A little while ago, I posted this photo amongst my garden shoot: It was quite a popular photo, so the following weekend, I went and photographed some more buds on the same rosebush. This rose is beautifully complex. It starts as a yellow bud and then opens with pink tips on the petal. As it…

  • One Word Photo Challenge: Spring

    I’m excited to join Jennifer Nichole Wells’ One Word Photo Challenge, which is Spring! Spring has well and truly sprung here in Brisbane so I took some progressive shots of my pretty little white dahlia that I planted recently. Of course I couldn’t resist a high contrast, high drama shot for Lucile’s Photo101 Rehab Clinic.…

  • Butterfly Flower.

    Another gallery of shots taken during my recent Changing Seasons shoot. I don’t know what this flower is, please let me know if you do? (I did pass Botany at Uni, but…..). It reminds me of an orchid, but it was growing almost 1 metre tall in large bunches. I’ve also seen them on the…

  • Blue Flowers in a Blue Sky.

    Another couple of shots from my garden, taken during a recent shoot – actually these are from the neighbour’s garden – they are poking out above the fence, waving in the breeze. I should know what it’s called, but I don’t. Anyone? For Lucile’s Photo101 Rehab Clinic. x desleyjane  

  • (Extra)ordinary

    (Extra)ordinary

    This Daily Post Weekly Photo Challenge is (Extra)ordinary: Mundane and meaningful objects. Beautiful everyday things. This week, surprise us with something or someone (extra)ordinary. My family stayed at my place for a few days this week as they were moving between their home that they just sold and a rental property in Mackay while they build…

  • I Finally Found a Dandelion!

    Good grief I’ve been wanting to photograph dandelions for ages. I thought they must not exist near me, but last weekend I found one trapped within the apple blossoms in my front garden. It turns out that I’ve photographed one before when it was in the yellow flower form – I never knew what this flower…

  • Bench Series – October

    This month, Jude from Travel Words is looking for benches with someone or something on them. I took this photo for one of my Changing Seasons shoots. I love how comfy these two look, and completely unaware of the world around them.  x desleyjane

  • Sweetness & Light

    I took this photo on my recent Changing Seasons shoot at Southbank Parklands in Brisbane. My friend and I were chatting and I spotted this plant waving in the breeze above the smaller plants around it. I tried my best to get it to autofocus but it didn’t want to, so I used manual focus.…
