Macro Garden Series – 6
Isn’t this plant amazing? I was fascinated by it. And when editing it, the high contrast and clarity really brought out an almost painted quality to the image. This has become one of my favourite shots. I was able to catch the end-phase of the plant as well. Shot at Wilson Botanic Park with my…

Back to Brisbane
When I went back to Brisbane for my friend’s birthday weekend, I got to see my old city at night as well as my bridge. Brisbane really is a beautiful city. I think it’s often overlooked – but it’s really stunning, something to see from every angle, lots of hills to see the city and…

Not Really Appropriate for Dinner
While at the conference last week, I had hoped to be able to get out into the grounds with my camera but it was so busy that it wasn’t possible. However, one day, they served teeny tiny cupcakes for morning tea and I just happened to have my camera in my backpack 😀 The downlights…

Melbourne Streets 4
I really enjoy the textures when nature meets street – the softness of the plants against the rough and harsh bricks. I included the church shot here because I love the textures here. From my IGers Melbourne InstaMeet in March 2016. x desleyjane

iPhriday – a birthday and a conference.
I haven’t travelled since I moved to Melbourne in January, but this week I had a doozy of a trip. It started with a weekend in Brisbane for my best friend’s birthday. What a fun weekend, we had such a good time and it was really good seeing these guys again. Massages, dinners, cocktails, way too…

Imperfect Perfection
I couldn’t resist posting these rosebuds. I almost didn’t, because they aren’t perfect, they are covered in little bits of debris, most likely from a bug. But I thought, well none of us is perfect, so why not? Thanks again to Robin from Reflections for my Soul and Pauline from Gypsy Life for nominating me to join the…

Closed Terrarium
I picked up two terrariums on the weekend – one open (my iTerrarium, which you can see here) and this closed terrarium. The closed terrarium is a very groovy thing. It houses different plants from the open one – plants that like moisture, like ferns and mosses. If done properly, with the right soil conditions…

Rosy Pink
Oh I love roses. I’m living in an apartment with a balcony and I’m wondering if I can plant roses in the big pots that I’ve brought with me…. I’m adding this macro shot to Jude’s Macro in the Garden challenge – please go and see Jude’s blog for some wonderful garden photography. Thanks to…
