    My Week on Instagram

    This frequent flying scientist has started flying frequently again! Well, sort of. This post contains all of the photos that I posted to Instagram this week. This time, I’m back in my old town of Brisbane. Such a beautiful city. As you may remember, I’m so fond of the wheel and the bridge and the…

    Macro Garden Series – 16

    This is my first post from our visit to the Royal Melbourne Botanical Gardens. These flowers were so stunning – I spent quite a bit of time with them. And I fell in love when I edited the image above. As usual, I used my Olympus OMD EM5 with the 60mm macro lens. x desleyjane

    My Week on Instagram

    This post was supposed to go up on Tuesday (Aussie time) but I completely forgot to write it! It was a big week on Instagram this week – 9 posts! I try to post each day if I can but it really depends on how busy I am and whether I managed to get a…

  • Gritty / Pretty

    Gritty / Pretty

    I took these two photos in the same street, just a few meters apart, in Sydney, not far from the base of the Sydney Harbour Bridge which I photographed recently. Such a contrast between the dark and the light, the gritty and the pretty. We often see what we want to see.  Shot with my…

    Contemplation – Young or Old?

    Welcome to week 15 of Contemplation, where we share our responses to a prompt from my Kikki.K A Sentence A Day Journal. Last week, we talked about what challenges we’d overcome that day and many of you commented (as did I) that challenges often seem so much worse when there are a lot of them,…

    Partners

    For The Daily Post’s Weekly Photo Challenge: Partners. This photo was taken in Amsterdam when I visited Lucile on King’s Day. I thought they looked so cool standing there, like models posing for a photo shoot. I love this photo (even though it’s not so sharp) and have never shared it before. I have desaturated…

    iPhriday – Side View Mirror

    I’m cheating this week for iPhriday and sharing a photo that I’ve already shared on Instagram. It’s a shot from my iPhone while sitting in traffic this week. I love the clouds and the graffiti of the bird on the building in front. But what attracted me to taking the shot was the lines in…

    Macro Garden Series – 15

    This is my last post in my macro garden series from my trip with Julie to the Wilson Botanic Park. This flower was growing in the carpark and I was struck by its shape, its sharp edges.   Shot with my Olympus OMD EM5 with my 60mm (120mm equivalent) macro lens. I hope you’ve enjoyed…

  • Curves Of Sydney

    Curves Of Sydney

    This prompt came out while I was in Sydney, so how could I resist the stunning and statuesque curves of the Sydney Harbour Bridge? It seems to appear out of nowhere when you’re driving through the city. You catch glimpses of it all the time. I’m always excited to drive over it, as usually I…
