    Macro Garden Series – 19

    I would usually post a fern frond in black and white, but the colours in this one were so lovely, I had to keep it in colour. Shot at Royal Melbourne Botanical Gardens. Olympus OMD EM5, 60mm macro. x desleyjane

    Such pretty pink camellias. If you love macro like I do, check out Musin’ With Susan‘s weekly macro challenge. I thought this photo would fit in well there.  Olympus OMD EM5, 60mm macro. Happy Birthday to my dear friend Tony. It’s his birthday today and while pink isn’t really his colour (actually he can’t see pink),…

    Macro Garden Series – 16

    This is my first post from our visit to the Royal Melbourne Botanical Gardens. These flowers were so stunning – I spent quite a bit of time with them. And I fell in love when I edited the image above. As usual, I used my Olympus OMD EM5 with the 60mm macro lens. x desleyjane

    Macro Garden Series – 15

    This is my last post in my macro garden series from my trip with Julie to the Wilson Botanic Park. This flower was growing in the carpark and I was struck by its shape, its sharp edges.   Shot with my Olympus OMD EM5 with my 60mm (120mm equivalent) macro lens. I hope you’ve enjoyed…

    Macro Garden Series – 10

    You should have seen me trying to get my finger in this shot to show scale. Typical balancing act – I was on the edge of a dropoff, shooting handheld (because I couldn’t be bothered carrying my tripod). The little receptacle (thank you Wikipedia) is the part that used to hold the petals of the…

    Macro Garden Series – 7

    Another bright and intricate flower from the garden series. The colours were so vibrant. I was expecting to find bees on these flowers, but there weren’t any. Shot at Wilson Botanic Park with my Olympus OMD EM5 with my 60mm (120mm equivalent) macro lens. I think this is my last entry to Jude’s Macro in the…

    Inside iTerrarium

    I couldn’t resist getting up close and personal with some of the little guys inside my previously posted iTerrarium. I’ve included a shot of the terrarium below so you can judge the scale of these plants. They are super-small. Or you can go visit the post linked above to see the whole thing. I thought this…

    Now that I live in a small apartment on the fifth floor, I have no grass or garden area. All of my gardening will be done in pots. I previously showed some photos of a cyclamen that my friend gave me – that was my first plant here in the new place. I have also…

    Macro Garden Series – 2

    These are two different shots, not the same shot edited differently. I love how the sunlight hits the yellow of the plant, and the darkness of the background. Taken with my Olympus OMD EM5 with 60mm (120mm equivalent) macro lens at the Wilson Botanic Park. x desleyjane
