Five Minutes with Five Meringues – RegularRandom
Last week, I featured some photos of some meringues that my friend Jing Jing at work made. She brought some more in the next day and I selected these five to set up another shoot. I had an idea in mind, using some of the items on my desk at work but I simply didn’t…

The Sweetest Things
One of the girls I work with shares my love of all things stationery, but she also bakes! And you all know how I love to photograph sweet things. Today, she (Jing Jing) brought in these tiny little meringues in the softest of colours and I spent ten minutes photographing them. Poor Jing Jing had…

Five (actually six) Minutes with this Doughnut – RegularRandom
I’m not usually one for doughnuts. Unless they’re spectacular, and that’s the only way I can explain this one. It’s from my usual bakery. I went in to get some bread but this caught my eye – I’m always looking for something that has some height or texture or some other kind of interest, and…

So how could you not expect me to do five minutes with one of the peonies from the festival. There was a mason jar with a peony in it on the table, so while the girls and I were chatting, I spent five minutes getting my macro on 💕 So here is my five minutes…

The Bees of Red Hill Peony Estate
I am always fascinated by bees. I think many of us are! Of course, maybe not if you’re allergic or have been stung by one. These little beauties were happily mesmerised by the flowers in the sunshine, not caring about me in the slightest. I took a lot of photos, generally at around 1/1,600th of…

Red Hill Peony Estate Festival
My friend suggested we go to a Peony Festival – how could I say no to that?! I do love peonies and it was a gorgeous day, so off we went at about 8:30 this morning. It was about an hour and twenty minutes drive to the estate and we started with a little stroll…

Peony Perfection – RegularRandom
If you know me, you know that peonies are my favourite flower. I stopped off at the little green grocers near the park to pick up some flowers. They had gerberas yesterday, so I picked up two little bunches, but when I went inside I saw buckets of peonies, so of course I had to…

Five Minutes with French Earl Grey Tea Cake – RegularRandom
I discovered a new-to-me coffee place last weekend, picked up a very good takeaway flat white, and a croissant for the next day’s breakfast. Today, I stopped by there again with Gidget to get another flat white. They let me bring her inside the very tiny store to order my coffee, and I saw this…
