    The Flowers of Brunswick East (15)

    I tend to shoot quite quickly when I’m walking, and this time was no exception since I had Gidget with me and she is always on the move. So for some flowers, I only took one shot. Here is my little collection of random flowers where I didn’t get more than one shot. I love…

    The Flowers of Brunswick East (14)

    These purple and white flowering shrubs were quite common in the gardens where I walked. The light was quite lovely, but there was also a light breeze waving the little branches about.   x desleyjane

    The Flowers of Brunswick East (13)

    Just a quick note before this post to say that my FoBE posts are all scheduled in advance, most written in early October.  x This is from my second trip around Brunswick East. When I walk Gidget in the evening, I go across the road and down the street and back up again. In the…

  • Rounded

    Rounded

    I went a bit crazy with this dandelion. It’s quite difficult with them waving around in the breeze but I wanted to get up super close to this one. Imagine if I could cut it and take it home without it falling apart and photograph under controlled conditions?! This was taken from such a weird…

    Actually, more than flowers today! Olympus OMD EM5, 60mm macro, hand held, low light, screeching shoulder (the parrot was very quiet). x desleyjane

    The Flowers of Brunswick East (11)

    Another random little collection today. Those yellow ones are super tiny, growing about knee-high, just weeds on the side of the road. They were waving about in the breeze so I just shot them top down. For the full story, go here. x desleyjane

  • Busy-ness.

    Busy-ness.

    I happened upon this interesting little plant, perhaps a member of the Callistemon family? Such interesting details in this plant. But then I spotted a busy little bee at work. They aren’t super-sharp shots, I was just at 1/200s, but I like them anyway. Here are a few more shots of the plant, which incidentally…

    The Flowers of Brunswick East (10)

    I just love this photo, these little buds, mostly not in focus. But the light is pretty, the colour is lovely, the depth of field is pleasant. So tiny and delicate. Olympus OMD EM5, 60mm macro, handheld, low light. x desleyjane

  • Five Minutes with Blue Flowers and a Kitten – RegularRandom

    Five Minutes with Blue Flowers and a Kitten – RegularRandom

    I took my camera out yesterday when I walked Gidget but I didn’t take many photos unfortunately. However, I did happen about this kitten – it was quite a surprise because he was at eye-level, in a garden that was up a short flight of stairs above the pavement. I was originally drawn to the…

    The Flowers of Brunswick East (9)

    I would expect this flower to purple, right? Lavender-coloured lavender, right? Who knew?! x desleyjane
