    The Flowers (and things) of Hobbiton

    As promised in my last post, here are my flower photos from Hobbiton in Auckland, New Zealand. Of course, I had my macro lens with me (just the 30mm, not my baby 60mm), so I swapped in and out with my usual 17mm lens every time I spotted something pretty. Firstly, we spotted a butterfly…

    I picked up this beautiful posey from Art Stems on Lygon on Sunday and spent some time photographing it. For this first post, here it is from 4 different sides. More close-ups to come, of course! Have a fabulous day. x desleyjane

    These shots are from prior to surgery. I have photographed these before, but I have no idea what they’re called. A quick shoulder update – I’ve told some of you in comments, but I’ll update you properly here. Before Christmas, I saw the physiotherapist and I wasn’t able to do a lot of the movements…

    I think this is the last set of FoBE flowers that I have uploaded, and I’m not sure if I have anymore! It must be almost time to head back out for more photos! x desleyjane

    A Pretty Pink Peony

    Happy New Year! I took these photos of a very pretty pink peony late last year. It was while my Mum was still staying with me after surgery. My friend Tess (who also takes care of Gidget for me when I travel) visited and gave me a little bunch of peonies – she remembered that…

    I just love this white rose – so simple, delicate, round, perfect. x desleyjane

    I love this natural bouquet I found in someone’s garden. x desleyjane

    This is a super-tiny flower, so delicate, growing through and along a fence, forming a wall of deep green leaves and these tiny white blossoms. So pretty, and so paper-thin. x desleyjane

    Another strange little plant, I won’t begin to guess this one, but I find it quite fascinating. Olympus OMD EM5, 60mm macro, good morning. x desleyjane

    The Flowers of Brunswick East (23)

    Is this that funny little flower that’s meant to look a bit rude? It was difficult to photograph – about knee height, growing through a fence, but I just adore that little hairy set of buds! How sweet?! And the flowers are quite cute too. Tiny, as usual! Sore shoulder, as usual. Olympus macro, as…
