Papillion
Another stroll through my little back garden has revealed more aliens (you can find the previous aliens here). These aliens are masquerading as caterpillars! I have a lime tree, I’ve had it for about 10 years maybe? I had it in a pot when I was renting a little house and moved it to my…

Roses are Red… and Yellow…
When I take a photo, I’ve almost always decided already whether it’s going to be a colour or a monochrome image. I have the luxury of seeing it both ways when I edit them. I love seeing an image come together, the stunning change as it’s converted to crisp clean monochrome… I also enjoy the…

Reaching Up
I have had this asparagus fern since I moved to Brisbane 15 years ago and my mum and dad had it at their place for many years before that. It’s fairly neglected, but seems to thrive. Every couple of years I re-pot it. I want to separate it out into a long line of plants…

Alien Plant Farm
It’s intriguing what a macro shot can show you. On my recent walk through my garden, I took these two photos. I find them to be quite strange and almost alien-like structures. I think they make great freaky additions to Lucile’s Photo101 Rehab Clinic. This first one is a small pest with a milky sap…

Let it Be?
I took my camera on a stroll through my garden on Sunday with my 60mm (120mm equivalent) macro lens attached. I came across this little garden pest growing amongst the rocks near my clothesline. As I usually do, I got down low and spent some time shooting this lovely little flower. It’s growing quite wildly…

Fly on Flower
Fly lands on flower Searching for the sweet nectar But he’s not a bee My first and quite pathetic attempt at a haiku – eek! But I like the photo. Unfortunately, his feet are disappearing into the flower due to my shallow depth of field but this…

Colour My World
Just trying something a little different today. This is the photo that I wanted to use for Justine’s Eclectic Corner #6, where she posted a lovely piece of a story as a prompt for us to submit some writing or a photograph in response. One part of her writing struck me – she wrote…

The Stuff of Nightmares
I really have to share this night of horror (and hilarity) that I experienced last night. I apologise in advance to those of you who must protect all living creatures, but I live in Australia, where not all creatures are cute and benign. I was up late, caught up reading blogs, chatting to everyone and…

Bee With Me (Rehab16)
I don’t know how I’ve ended up with so many animal photos 🙂 I love macro photography, so when I went in to the kitchen to do the dishes this morning and I saw this poor little guy on his last legs, I took the opportunity to take some shots of him. There is one…

Flower Power (Rehab7)
We were in the office from 8am til 7pm today then dinner with the team til now (10pm) so I apologise, these are from the archives. You know I love macro and I also love flowers, so I really enjoy getting up close with my 60mm macro lens and seeing how it performs hand-held at…

Strongest (Rehab2)
Day2 of Photo101 Rehab and I hope I’m not too late! I love to experiment with macro photography. I took these photos when I was cleaning my camera one day during the November photo101 challenge. I had cereal for breakfast outside and had put a little on the tiles for Gidget. I watched as an…
