Voices.
She could hear the voices but couldn’t tell where they were coming from. She tried to listen but the pounding of the blood in her head and the slapping of her bare feet in the puddles on the floor where overwhelming her senses. She debated with herself for a few seconds before deciding to stop…

Stolen Glances.
I’ve been sleeping with the lights on ’cause the darkness is surrounding you. – Sam Smith, Life Support She stole glances at him every few minutes, maybe even more often. His head was resting against the side of the plane, the part that surrounds the little window. He had received an annoyed huff from the…

#QLDstorms
We Queenslanders are quite used to crazy storms popping up out of nowhere and we’ve become quite good at predicting when a storm is going to happen. They can be quite destructive so we have to be careful to keep safe. I think sometimes we get a little blasé about it, which can be dangerous.…

The Yellow (and Pink) Rose of Brisbane
A little while ago, I posted this photo amongst my garden shoot: It was quite a popular photo, so the following weekend, I went and photographed some more buds on the same rosebush. This rose is beautifully complex. It starts as a yellow bud and then opens with pink tips on the petal. As it…

Scene.
Mike crumpled, dropping the phone to the ground. His heart was breaking and his mind was racing all at once. He studied the bedroom – window open, big muddy footprints on the pale carpet intermingled with the blood spatter there and on the bedpost. So much blood. He just knew in his heart that his…

Of course I couldn’t resist a high contrast, high drama shot for Lucile’s Photo101 Rehab Clinic.…

Butterfly Flower.
Another gallery of shots taken during my recent Changing Seasons shoot. I don’t know what this flower is, please let me know if you do? (I did pass Botany at Uni, but…..). It reminds me of an orchid, but it was growing almost 1 metre tall in large bunches. I’ve also seen them on the…

Blue Flowers in a Blue Sky.
Another couple of shots from my garden, taken during a recent shoot – actually these are from the neighbour’s garden – they are poking out above the fence, waving in the breeze. I should know what it’s called, but I don’t. Anyone? For Lucile’s Photo101 Rehab Clinic. x desleyjane

I Finally Found a Dandelion!
Good grief I’ve been wanting to photograph dandelions for ages. I thought they must not exist near me, but last weekend I found one trapped within the apple blossoms in my front garden. It turns out that I’ve photographed one before when it was in the yellow flower form – I never knew what this flower…
