Ascension.
I took the Metro to Rijksmuseum in Amsterdam and was struck by the immensity of this escalator. I had my iPhone (8 Plus) in my hand so I snapped a quick shot while stepping onto it. Here are a couple of different edits, which is your favourite? You can probably guess mine…. I love the…

Glamour.
Did I say I couldn’t pick a favourite? I lied. This. This is my favourite. So far. But I know what’s coming. x desleyjane

Beautiful Drama.
I love this one as well (honestly, I’m not sure I can pick a favourite). It began to rain lightly while we were photographing the tulips, and the temperature dropped, but it didn’t deter us, we had something new to photograph – capturing those droplets sitting on such vibrant petals. x desleyjane

Amsterdam in Living Colour.
This city is beautiful. I confess that I’ve used my iPhone a lot for photographs, because it’s so easy. And in bright light, it’s superb. But I never think to share my iPhone photos here, my habit is to only share the Olympus ones. But if I do that, we miss out on the more…

Amsterdam in Mono
This beautiful city is full of colour, which I’ve shared on social media, and I’ll share here too, but I love the look of black and white and minimal colour as well. I feel like this trip is helping me to redefine my editing style and I’m enjoying it immensely. Here are a few of…

Pink Ruffled Tulips
I didn’t get the name of these. They were just gorgeous. Such full heads, packed together to form this delicious carpet of flowers. I’m going to use these photos as backgrounds and wallpapers and in my planner. Just divine. I still have the Dior ones to share as well – those are stunning too, maybe…

Five Minutes with a Tulip – RegularRandom
If you aren’t connected with me on social media, you may not know that I am currently vacationing in Amsterdam. What a glorious city. I was here four years ago (to the day actually) and have come back for a two week visit. Yesterday, we went to a tulip farm and of course I brought…

Reflections of the Auckland Region
Wherever we found a body of water in Auckland, we saw beautiful reflections of the perfect skies. Such big skies in New Zealand. I often feel that way about Perth as well – I don’t know what makes me think that, but the the sky always seems so big there. Thank you New Zealand for…

The Flowers (and things) of Hobbiton
As promised in my last post, here are my flower photos from Hobbiton in Auckland, New Zealand. Of course, I had my macro lens with me (just the 30mm, not my baby 60mm), so I swapped in and out with my usual 17mm lens every time I spotted something pretty. Firstly, we spotted a butterfly…

A Hobbiton Adventure
Last weekend, my bestie Moana and I went to Auckland, New Zealand for a long weekend. One of the things we did was drive to Hobbiton, the Lord of the Rings movie set where The Shire was set up with all the Hobbit Holes and Hobbit villages. We had such a great trip – it…

Early Flight
She was sure she’d forgotten something but she was tired and she just wanted to get moving. She grabbed her keys from the bowl by the door, and with her thumb poised over the light switch, she cast her eye around her apartment, not really seeing it, her mind elsewhere. She dragged her suitcase over…

A Holiday in Mackay, Queensland
Just before Christmas, I flew from Melbourne to Mackay to spend Christmas and New Year’s with my family – my Mum, Dad and brother. It’s been a lovely two weeks, just relaxing with family, recuperating my shoulder, visiting with relatives, watching the cricket (20/20 of course!). We have taken a few opportunities to go out…
