Five Minutes with Delphiniums – RegularRandom
I recently found out that I’m allergic to dahlias – gasp! Such a shame, since as you probably know, I like to pick up a little bouquet every now and again to photograph and dahlias tend to be in prevalent in those. So today, the florist and I decided to put together these delphiniums and…

Five Minutes with Gerberas – RegularRandom
I stopped off after the park today, and picked up this bunch of gerberas. It’s not a flower I buy very often, but they are simply lovely. I love the colours of the petals in these ones in particular, they’re so pretty in their peach petals through to pink in the centre. Would you like…

Gin & Flowers. Again.
I love this little series, with the stark white background. And the sharpness of the colours and textures. This head of flowers was the only pink one amongst the bouquet so I thought it deserved its own spot in the gin bottle 😊 x desleyjane

My last post of the Lavender Roses
My pictures are my eyes. I photograph what I see – and what I want to see. – Mario Testino I feel like I’ve shared a couple of these before, but this is the final set from my shoot. These were gorgeous, so much lovely creaminess. I used my Olympus OMD EM5 with 30mm macro…

Vibrant Hydrangeas 1
I’m told these are likely to be the last of the season so I’m very glad I dropped in to the florist this morning and found them! And then I happened upon a Facebook memory from last year when it seems that I picked up a bunch of hydrangeas from the very same florist one…

Soft & Dreamy – Lavender Roses
I hope you aren’t getting tired of my lavender roses. I promise there’s a new set of non-rose flowers coming soon. But I really enjoyed this shoot, you know how I love to just settle in with my camera, and then there’s that very special feeling of macro – focusing only the details, getting the…

Five Minutes up close with a Pretty Pink Peony – RegularRandom
So how could you not expect me to do five minutes with one of the peonies from the festival. There was a mason jar with a peony in it on the table, so while the girls and I were chatting, I spent five minutes getting my macro on 💕 So here is my five minutes…

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…

Peonies of Red Hill
Following on from my last post, here is my first collection of shots from the Peony Estate. The sun was high and so bright, it was quite difficult to get the light right. They are such amazing flowers, I just love them. All taken with my Olympus OMD EM5 – I took my 30mm macro…

Red Hill Peony Estate Festival
My friend suggested we go to a Peony Festival – how could I say no to that?! I do love peonies and it was a gorgeous day, so off we went at about 8:30 this morning. It was about an hour and twenty minutes drive to the estate and we started with a little stroll…
