    Paint Planets 1

    After our session with Mixed Fruit on Saturday, Beck and I headed outside. I’d brought three tubes of paint with me – I wanted to try oil paints in water. Beck had a long, tall vase which we could use, so we dived in. We used syringes to squirt the paint into the water. I…

    Yesterday, I got together with my friend Beck. She had this great idea for a shoot with fruit, so here’s what we did. We then ventured outside, but that’s a whole new story ๐Ÿ™‚ x desleyjane

    Five Minutes with Hydrangea – RegularRandom

    Oh my! I went to buy a bunch of flowers for home. I love to have fresh flowers and I always end up shooting them. I wasn’t sure what I would find and I didn’t have anything particular in mind, except of course, you know I love pink. They had these gorgeous hydrangeas for just…

    Five Minutes with a Rose in Decay – RegularRandom

    For those of you who remember my special shoot for a friend’s 30th Wedding Anniversary, this is one of the roses left over from that shoot. I have him the rest of the bunch to give to his wife, but I kept this one since it was already cut. It dried over the Christmas break…

    The Flowers of Brunswick East (37)

    These shots are from prior to surgery. I have photographed these before, but I have no idea what they’re called. A quick shoulder update – I’ve told some of you in comments, but I’ll update you properly here. Before Christmas, I saw the physiotherapist and I wasn’t able to do a lot of the movements…

    Five Minutes with an Orchid – RegularRandom

    This gorgeous white moth orchid (Phalaenopsis) was a post-surgery gift from some of my close friends at work. It is so pretty, I love it. It sits on the side table by my couch and its the first thing you see when you walk into my apartment. So, it seems appropriate for a RegularRandom treatment…

    Five Minutes with a Peony in Decay (RegularRandom)

    Before Christmas, I had a small bunch of peonies, given to me by a friend after my shoulder surgery. I photographed them recently here and here with a cupcake. I kept one in a small vase on my desk, and gave the rest to a friend at work. The one on my desk had dried…

    I think this is the last set of FoBE flowers that I have uploaded, and I’m not sure if I have anymore! It must be almost time to head back out for more photos! x desleyjane

    Pink – Peony & Cupcake

    Following on from a previous post, I also just happened to have a pink cupcake in my possession, so I decided to photograph it alongside my pink peony. The whorls of the frosting look a bit like a flower to me. I love the colour, and oh yes it was delicious! x desleyjane

    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…
