  • Lizianthus 1

    Lizianthus 1

    I picked up a few small bunches of flowers and put them together for a number of photo shoots. I’ve photographed lizzianthus a few times, they are an intriguing flower – the buds are a green-yellow colour but the flowers are a gorgeous soft pink. Here are some shots, more to come. Oh, and the…

    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 –…

    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

    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

    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…

    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…

    This very red flower demanded some attention. It is so vibrant, quite small, but definitely catches the eye. Of course, I don’t know what it is, I’m sure you can help me!   x desleyjane

    This tree was so pretty and creating its own shade in the morning light. I think it was well suited to both colour and monochrome shots. Shot with my Olympus OMD EM5 with 60mm macro, hand held, morning light, all shots are different, even though those last two look identical! This is one of my…

    The Flowers of Brunswick East (15)

    I tend to shoot quite quickly when I’m walking, and this time was no exception since I had Gidget with me and she is always on the move. So for some flowers, I only took one shot. Here is my little collection of random flowers where I didn’t get more than one shot. I love…
