A Single Drop
How cool is this single drop? It’s perched on the end of one of the leaves of the weed shown below. I love the way water droplets are rounded (that’s science!!) and that they reflect the world around them (that’s science too LOL). This pink flower is a tiny weed, just a centimetre long. Oh…

Perfect in Pink
Pink isn’t just a colour, it’s an attitude. – Miley Cyrus I have some creeping roses outside my front window and I love to photograph them. I’ve left them alone for quite a few weeks as it’s been a bit cold, but I recently went out for a challenge to get some macro shots. I…

Rose Up Close
I love roses and these buds were so pretty. I also couldn’t resist shooting the aftermath of flower death, with the bugs finishing it off. Another submission for The Daily Post’s Weekly Photo Challenge: Close Up. For Lucile’s Photo101 Rehab Clinic. x desleyjane

A Little Drama
I have recently posted a number of photos with white negative space, I really enjoy that type of photography. However lately, I’ve wanted to experiment with dark negative space instead.

Secret
She leaned against the railing and stared out at the darkness of the ocean, the waves whipping against the side of the ship, foaming the water so that she could almost make out stripes of white, turquoise and deep, deep blue. She watched the foam disappear from view as the ship slipped through the water…

Rainbow Roses
I was at a florist’s recently and she pointed out her “Rainbow Roses”. These stunning roses are created in Colombia. In fact, she told me that most large roses for sale in bouquets in Australia are flown in weekly from Colombia ! These rainbow roses are made by splitting the stems and placing each part into…

Anger
The door slammed and with the sound, another piece of her heart shattered. It had been this way for weeks. He had always had a temper, but it had been playful, easily ignored and she hadn’t thought anything of it. Until recently. Now his mood had changed. His temper was dark and brooding, always festering. She…

Here’s my second post on my whirlwind trip to Amsterdam. You can see my first post here. Today, I want to show you the flowers. We found these in big planters outside the Eye Film Institute. Some of them seem like they’re made of tissue paper. Also, there’s a special little surprise in the mix… …

Roses are Red… and Yellow…
When I take a photo, I’ve almost always decided already whether it’s going to be a colour or a monochrome image. I have the luxury of seeing it both ways when I edit them. I love seeing an image come together, the stunning change as it’s converted to crisp clean monochrome… I also enjoy the…
