    New Website!

    On one of my quiet days while holidaying in Amsterdam, I revamped my other website. I had planned to do this of course, and brought all the photos with me that I needed to add to the site. I use Squarespace, I find it to be a beautiful platform, and I’m now a Squarespace Circle…

  • Amsterdam in Living Colour.

    Amsterdam in Living Colour.

    This city is beautiful. I confess that I’ve used my iPhone a lot for photographs, because it’s so easy. And in bright light, it’s superb. But I never think to share my iPhone photos here, my habit is to only share the Olympus ones. But if I do that, we miss out on the more…

    Changing the background – a new RegularRandom idea

    What a difference a background change makes?! These first two sets of photos are taken in exactly the same location and conditions, but I have merely swapped out the placemat that sits under the vase. Firstly, I used a white placemat, then swapped it for a black one. I have been thinking about adding a…

    Amsterdam in Mono

    This beautiful city is full of colour, which I’ve shared on social media, and I’ll share here too, but I love the look of black and white and minimal colour as well. I feel like this trip is helping me to redefine my editing style and I’m enjoying it immensely. Here are a few of…

    Floratuin Julianadorp 3

    My third collection – you can see that the variety on display was amazing. Some would say that there is too much innovation, when a tulip no longer looks like a tulip, but I do love most of them. x desleyjane

  • Pink Ruffled Tulips

    Pink Ruffled Tulips

    I didn’t get the name of these. They were just gorgeous. Such full heads, packed together to form this delicious carpet of flowers. I’m going to use these photos as backgrounds and wallpapers and in my planner. Just divine. I still have the Dior ones to share as well – those are stunning too, maybe…

    Floratuin Julianadrop 2

    The variety of colours and shapes was truly amazing. So hard to choose. I just adore the classic shape, shown in the peach-coloured ones in the gallery. But I think the peony style is definitely my favourite of all – there are many more of those to come. I hope you won’t get bored with…

    Floratuin Julianadorp 1

    On Sunday, we drove from Amsterdam to Julianadorp to see the tulips. It’s a tulip farm, with so many different varieties of tulips on display, in small garden beds, and a big area where you can pick your own tulips to take home. Of course, we could not resist photographing all of the wonderful varieties.…

    Ruffled Beauty

    I wish I’d made a note of the names of the tulips. Some were very imaginative, and some were perfectly fitting. This one is sublime, is it not? The colours, the vibrancy, the ruffles, and the dance of petals. Love ๐Ÿ’• x desleyjane

  • Editing Tulip Photos

    Editing Tulip Photos

    Those who know me, know that I love to edit photos, to see how much I can get out of an image, what details I can find, how I can make it even prettier than reality. It’s an art, and a science, and it’s also a source of relaxation for me. Here are some edits…

    Five Minutes with a Tulip – RegularRandom

    If you aren’t connected with me on social media, you may not know that I am currently vacationing in Amsterdam. What a glorious city. I was here four years ago (to the day actually) and have come back for a two week visit. Yesterday, we went to a tulip farm and of course I brought…

  • The last set of shots with the Raspberry Cronut.

    The last set of shots with the Raspberry Cronut.

    So I should tell you about this cronut – the icing is raspberry and the filling is a passionfruit custard. And the top has little chunks of crushed meringue and freeze-dried raspberries. x  desleyjane
