iPhriday – a long week!
It has been an interesting week. Long long days, early mornings, late nights. Even a late night in the lab, something I haven’t done in almost two years! The best part of my week was when I had my friend come for a visit and we did our usual Japanese food (and sake!) followed by…

Macro Garden Series – 1
My friend Julie Powell (Photographer and Graphic Designer) invited me to join her photography excursion at the Wilson Botanic Park in Berwick (about 40km outside the city of Melbourne, at the foot of the Dandenong mountains). It’s a beautiful park and I had a great time immersing myself in all things macro. Actually, I didn’t…

Plant in the Park
I finally decided to take my camera with me to the park tonight and pottered around in amongst the trees and took some shots of this lovely plant. As usual I used my Olympus OMD EM5. I went out only with my 45mm (f/1.8, 90mm equivalent) lens with me. It’s not an everyday lens, but…

The Yellow (and Pink) Rose of Brisbane
A little while ago, I posted this photo amongst my garden shoot: It was quite a popular photo, so the following weekend, I went and photographed some more buds on the same rosebush. This rose is beautifully complex. It starts as a yellow bud and then opens with pink tips on the petal. As it…

Blue Flowers in a Blue Sky.
Another couple of shots from my garden, taken during a recent shoot – actually these are from the neighbour’s garden – they are poking out above the fence, waving in the breeze. I should know what it’s called, but I don’t. Anyone? For Lucile’s Photo101 Rehab Clinic. x desleyjane

It Wasn’t My Last Garden Shoot.
I did a shoot in my front garden last weekend and I wondered if I’d have time to do another one. Today, I did. I wandered around the back garden today, with my 60mm macro lens and got up to my old tricks of lying in the grass to get up close and personal with…

Last Garden Shoot?
I have some apple blossom plants in my front garden that are supposed to become a hedge. They have taken years to grow and finally (now that I’m moving) they’re starting to really take off. They are covered in beautiful white blossoms and I always see so many bees buzzing around the blossoms. I’ve wanted…

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…

A Rainbow for Your Monday
A very quick post tonight. I really couldn’t help but share this photo with you. I moved some plants around on the weekend and needed to water them in. I was about to run back inside when I noticed this beautiful rainbow caught in the spray of the sprinkler, so I had to grab my…

Happy Australia Day
January 26th is Australia Day. It marks the anniversary of settlement in 1788 – the arrival of the First Fleet from Britain into Port Jackson in New South Wales. Australia is a relatively young country. I remember visiting places like Salzburg in Europe and feeling such rich history and heritage there. We don’t have…
