Auckland Sunrise
I went on a cruise to New Zealand in 2011 and the person I was sharing with was a very loud and constant snorer, although completely lacking any rhythm at all. As we docked into Auckland, I escaped to our balcony (thank goodness we had one) at about 4am with my iPod and my camera…

Grasshopper, Munching
You may have recently read my post about the caterpillars that have taken up residence in my lime tree. I’m quite fascinated with them and I try to check on them every day or two to make sure that the birds haven’t gobbled them up. While I’m out in the garden, I take my camera…

ANU Again
I presented my favourite building from Australian National University recently – The John Curtin School of Medical Research. The photos in the gallery below, are others from the same shoot – different buildings around campus. I’m also adding these to Lucile’s Photo101 Rehab Clinic. As usual, all photos were taken with my Olympus OMD EM5…

Papillion
Another stroll through my little back garden has revealed more aliens (you can find the previous aliens here). These aliens are masquerading as caterpillars! I have a lime tree, I’ve had it for about 10 years maybe? I had it in a pot when I was renting a little house and moved it to my…

Highest of High Teas
For Justine’s Eclectic Corner #10 Tea Time Event, I am bringing us a decadent and elegant high tea. Last weekend was a weekend full of celebrations – my best friend’s birthday dinner, drinks, lunch the next day, shopping, and then we celebrated her mum’s birthday on the Sunday with High Tea. What a beautiful high…

Helix
I went on a a day trip for work to our nation’s capital last week. The capital city of Australia is Canberra, which is within The Australian Capital Territory, which is then located within the state of New South Wales. It’s about 2 hours drive from Sydney. I flew down from Brisbane, which is…

Caption This Cat
My two friends and I were having birthday drinks on the weekend (Happy Birthday Mo!!). Our friend whipped out this photo that she had taken of the cat that comes to visit her every night. We cracked up laughing at this picture. It’s hilarious. So, let’s have a little competition, shall we? What’s your best…

Afloat, Above and Below
For the Weekly Photo Challenge – Afloat. I just had to include the shots from the plane, many of you know how I love to take photos from the airplane window – I have so many of them! The clouds seem to just float along as the plane floats past them, such a surreal experience…

Image Reboot #1
Welcome to the first instalment of Image Reboot – a monthly feature partnering with Lucile’s Photo101 Rehab Clinic, and designed to give you some insight into how I go about editing photos in Lightroom. I am, by no means, an expert and I have taught myself how to use it, which means I am still…

Freestyling Edge
She feels the sharp edge of darkness closing in Flashes of red pulsing almost rhythmically Each one timed with a wave of pain. Reaching out she makes a whimpering sound Too much too bear It shouldn’t be this hard. With crisp sound, foil breaks The pills slide down She slumps to the ground Sweet. Chemical. Relief. This…

Roses are Red… and Yellow…
When I take a photo, I’ve almost always decided already whether it’s going to be a colour or a monochrome image. I have the luxury of seeing it both ways when I edit them. I love seeing an image come together, the stunning change as it’s converted to crisp clean monochrome… I also enjoy the…

Lucy? Are you out there?
Ah Lucy, how I loved you. You were my constant companion and shining light. Our time together was painfully short, but we hit it off instantly and became firm friends. I remember how you were so excited when we went to the beach, you couldn’t wait to call your mum and tell her about your…
