    Five Minutes with an Indulgent Bakery Spread – RegularRandom

    Sorry it’s been a little while since I’ve been around. It seems like since before Christmas, every weekend has been incredibly busy and the weeks have been full. Life is good, but hectic! My friend Moana came to Melbourne last week and we were able to spend Saturday together. Moana had been seeing my various…

    Five Minutes with Gerberas – RegularRandom

    I stopped off after the park today, and picked up this bunch of gerberas. It’s not a flower I buy very often, but they are simply lovely. I love the colours of the petals in these ones in particular, they’re so pretty in their peach petals through to pink in the centre. Would you like…

    Beauty in Decay – Pink Hydrangea 1

    The hydrangea bouquets have been drying away quite contentedly in their vases, out of my own sheer laziness and neglect really. Β They’re still in the water actually – I should really sort that out. Anyway, today I decided to photograph the pink ones, they have really held their colour so beautifully – the original photos…

    Pink Skies at Night – RegularRandom

    I went out with a friend on Australia Day (26 January) for drinks and pizza and a few more drinks, and a stroll around the neighbourhood. It was such a lovely afternoon – perfect temperature, great conversation, really nice. I was home by 8pm, just in time for sunset, so I spent five minutes (actually…

    Gin & Flowers. Again.

    I love this little series, with the stark white background. And the sharpness of the colours and textures. This head of flowers was the only pink one amongst the bouquet so I thought it deserved its own spot in the gin bottle 😊 x desleyjane

    My last post of the Lavender Roses

    My pictures are my eyes. I photograph what I see – and what I want to see. – Mario Testino I feel like I’ve shared a couple of these before, but this is the final set from my shoot. These were gorgeous, so much lovely creaminess. I used my Olympus OMD EM5 with 30mm macro…

    Vibrant Hydrangeas 1

    I’m told these are likely to be the last of the season so I’m very glad I dropped in to the florist this morning and found them! And then I happened upon a Facebook memory from last year when it seems that I picked up a bunch of hydrangeas from the very same florist one…

    Soft & Dreamy – Lavender Roses

    I hope you aren’t getting tired of my lavender roses. I promise there’s a new set of non-rose flowers coming soon. But I really enjoyed this shoot, you know how I love to just settle in with my camera, and then there’s that very special feeling of macro – focusing only the details, getting the…
