    The Flowers of Brunswick East (20)

    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

    One Wall, Three (Four) Ways.

    Last week, I posted some cute edits of a letterbox against a  brick wall. Here is the same wall and letterbox, but taken from a much wider angle. The day was missing any definition in the sky unfortunately. I decided to give it a treatment similar to the letterbox with different presets. Here is the original…

    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…

    Five Minutes with a Beetroot & Chocolate Muffin – RegularRandom

    Hi everyone. It’s been ages since I RegularRandom‘ed a sweet treat. In the apartment complex where I live, a restaurant has opened up on the ground floor. The people who run it are just lovely. I have gotten to know them over the many months of fit out and met so many of the family…

    Lavender is a very popular plant in my neighbourhood. I photographed it a few times for this series. This collection is from one front garden. I like the mix of old and new growth and the shades of lavender – some more blue and some more pink. There were no bees this time, but there…

    This is the beginning of the third walk around my neighbourhood. It’s another street, parallel to the first one, a tiny street, with not many houses, a dead end, but lots of flowers and they all smell amazing.

    These little bells were growing under a tree on the side of the road. The leaves are quite thick and succulent-like…. x desleyjane

    Five Minutes with Coffee – RegularRandom

    Oh coffee, what would life be like without you? This week, I ran out of coffee, and then I was home too late each night to take delivery of my coffee order! Disaster! So I started each day with orange juice at 6:45am and grabbed a coffee on the way to work at 9am. I…

    These purple and white flowering shrubs were quite common in the gardens where I walked. The light was quite lovely, but there was also a light breeze waving the little branches about.   x desleyjane

    The Flowers of Brunswick East (13)

    Just a quick note before this post to say that my FoBE posts are all scheduled in advance, most written in early October.  x This is from my second trip around Brunswick East. When I walk Gidget in the evening, I go across the road and down the street and back up again. In the…

    Rounded

    I went a bit crazy with this dandelion. It’s quite difficult with them waving around in the breeze but I wanted to get up super close to this one. Imagine if I could cut it and take it home without it falling apart and photograph under controlled conditions?! This was taken from such a weird…
