    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.…

    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…

    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…

  • A Girl’s Best Friend?

    Maybe his name is “Diamond”? 😉 I’ve been reminiscing about my trip to Amsterdam in April this year and taking a look though the photos on these cold Aussie winter evenings. I really loved these shots. Lucile and I were playing with the 60mm macro lens on my camera and took a few shots inside…

  • Monochromatic Dramatic

    For Tech of the Month: Black and White, hosted by PerelinColors and Lucile’s PhotoRehab Clinic. This month, they ask us what we thinks make a great black and white image, and what we look for when shooting in black and white. I’ve posted a lot of black and white recently – it really is my…

    Amsterdam – Party Central

    This is my final post in my Amsterdam series, a fact which makes me very sad 😦 I will have to go back!!!!  🙂 Before I arrived, Lucile warned me that the city turns orange and goes into party mode for King’s Day and what a fantastic coincidence that my work trip to the UK…

  • Amsterdam – A Different View

    Amsterdam – A Different View

    You know me – I love black and white photography. I found Amsterdam skies to be so amazing and King’s Day was so orange (you’ll see exactly how orange in my final Amsterdam post next week!!), that I was very selective about what I showed in black and white. When I was going through the…

  • Hang Out

    Why doesn’t anyone notice me? I’ve been hanging around here for six years! Nobody even sees me. I am invisible? Does anyone even care? Just wait… Soon… My time will come. I will show them. Soon. They’ll regret just passing me by. Soon. I can feel my time is coming. Soon. Soon…. OR She considered…

    Amsterdam City in Living Colour

    I hope you aren’t getting too sick of my Amsterdam posts 😉 Today is the city in glorious colour. As I have said, I was there for 50 hours. This was over three separate days and these photos span all three days. The first day was overcast, day 2 was glorious and day 3 was…
