There’s Always Time for Tea
Last week’s RegularRandom featured a pink posey of rosebuds sent to me by my dear friend Lucile. When I did that shoot, I also shot a morning tea setup for me and my mum and I wanted to share that with you here. I found the colours so vibrant and beautiful. It’s been 18 days…

Five Minutes with a Snail – Regular Random (and a surgery update)
A few nights before surgery (stay tuned for an update on the surgery at the bottom of this post), I spotted this little snail making his way up the glass door to my balcony. So I grabbed my camera and spent five minutes with him for this week’s RegularRandom. After his five minutes was up,…

Wherever I Lay My Hat (or iPhone)
For The Daily Post’s Writing Course : Finding Everyday Inspiration. Today, we’re tasked to write a post based on a One-Word Inspiration. They gave us six words: hope, regret, home, choice, secret, abundance. I chose Home. I have many places that I call home. My parents live in Central Queensland, so that’s definitely home. Home is…

Melbourne Streets 16
I spotted this Dad and Daughter skateboarding in Albert Park, they were adorable. I can’t decide whether I prefer a landscape or portrait orientation for this shot. Oh, and I couldn’t resist the colour splash 😉 IGers Melbourne April InstaMeet. x desleyjane

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…

Fun in the Sun with Dad
This little girl was so cute, jumping around and creeping up on her Dad. Shortly after these shots were taken, they left and she was riding a little pink tricycle. I’m sorry I didn’t catch a shot of that. From my recent Changing Seasons shoot at Southbank in Brisbane. These are for Lucile’s Photo101 Rehab…

Loyalty (Eclectic Corner #13.1)

The LightÂ
Milly was cold, so cold. Her daughters were fussing around her room, pulling up her blankets, arranging flowers, tidying the nightstand. They were such good girls, all three of them. They’d fought like cats and dogs as children, but they loved each other just as fiercely. And they loved her fiercely as well, she suddenly…
