    Happy Mother’s Day – Five Minutes with a Red Rose – RegularRandom

    Happy Mother’s Day lovelies! As you probably know, I love having fresh flowers in my home and one of the reasons is that I can shoot them if I feel like it. And I usually feel like it. If you remember my post from a couple of weeks ago ( Fresh Flowers ) I went…

  • The Bees of Red Hill Peony Estate

    The Bees of Red Hill Peony Estate

    I am always fascinated by bees. I think many of us are! Of course, maybe not if you’re allergic or have been stung by one. These little beauties were happily mesmerised by the flowers in the sunshine, not caring about me in the slightest. I took a lot of photos, generally at around 1/1,600th of…

  • How Beautiful the Darkness

    How Beautiful the Darkness

    Normal people have no idea how beautiful the darkness is. (unknown) I focused in on one of the flowers for a special feature and then had a little play in Lightroom. I love the dark one the most. Olympus OMD EM5 60mm macro x desleyjane

    Five Minutes with Stock Flowers – RegularRandom

    So these are called Stock. Such an unspecific name for a very pretty and fragrant flower. This is my first five minutes with these flowers. More shots are coming in the next couple of posts. And here are the more boring shots of the vase in full: Would you like to join in the RegularRandom…

    Five Minutes with the pinkest posey I’ve ever seen – RegularRandom

    Hi there, Welcome to this week’s RegularRandom. I’ve been a little random with posting lately, and I apologise for that. I’ve had a few different things popping up in my life – friends visiting, large amounts of work, my kikki.K Planner Insider project, and two new projects, which I will fill you in on in…

  • Hyacinths from the Bouquet

    Hyacinths from the Bouquet

    The Mother’s Day bouquet that I put together was really a lot of fun for me – I took a lot of shots, and used parts of it in a few different shoots. I have a few more to come, but this is the last set of flowers alone. I’ve included a shot of the…

    From the Bouquet

    Someone! Can you tell me what these very pretty flowers are? These were “for quick sale” out the front of the florists and I thought they would look fabulous in my bouquet. Love these. x desleyjane

  • Five Minutes with a Strange Pink Flower – RegularRandom

    Five Minutes with a Strange Pink Flower – RegularRandom

    While waiting for a takeaway smoothie at a little cafe in Auckland (The Botanist), we browsed their little attached florist. I was quite fascinated by this weird pink flower. I think it’s some kind of Protea, but I’m sure someone can correct me here. Anyway, five minutes of shooting makes for a good RegularRandom –…
