    Floratuin Julianadorp 1

    On Sunday, we drove from Amsterdam to Julianadorp to see the tulips. It’s a tulip farm, with so many different varieties of tulips on display, in small garden beds, and a big area where you can pick your own tulips to take home. Of course, we could not resist photographing all of the wonderful varieties.…

    Ruffled Beauty

    I wish I’d made a note of the names of the tulips. Some were very imaginative, and some were perfectly fitting. This one is sublime, is it not? The colours, the vibrancy, the ruffles, and the dance of petals. Love 💕 x desleyjane

  • Editing Tulip Photos

    Editing Tulip Photos

    Those who know me, know that I love to edit photos, to see how much I can get out of an image, what details I can find, how I can make it even prettier than reality. It’s an art, and a science, and it’s also a source of relaxation for me. Here are some edits…

    Five Minutes with a Tulip – RegularRandom

    If you aren’t connected with me on social media, you may not know that I am currently vacationing in Amsterdam. What a glorious city. I was here four years ago (to the day actually) and have come back for a two week visit. Yesterday, we went to a tulip farm and of course I brought…

    The last set of shots with the Raspberry Cronut.

    So I should tell you about this cronut – the icing is raspberry and the filling is a passionfruit custard. And the top has little chunks of crushed meringue and freeze-dried raspberries. x  desleyjane

    Five Minutes with a Raspberry Cronut – RegularRandom

    Before the florist last week, I dropped by my usual bakery, The Village Bakery in Brunswick, to pick up some bread. And of course, when I Saw this pretty pink cronut, how could I not bring it home to photograph it?! Next post, I’ll go in closer and play with the editing a little. Would…

    Up close with these pretty delphiniums.

    In my most recent RegularRandom, I featured this bouquet of Delphiniums and Baby’s Breath. After the five minutes, I spent some time going in closer, and then some extra time in editing. I really enjoyed this one. x desleyjane

    Five Minutes with Delphiniums – RegularRandom

    I recently found out that I’m allergic to dahlias – gasp! Such a shame, since as you probably know, I like to pick up a little bouquet every now and again to photograph and dahlias tend to be in prevalent in those. So today, the florist and I decided to put together these delphiniums and…

    Five Minutes with an Indulgent Bakery Spread – RegularRandom

    Sorry it’s been a little while since I’ve been around. It seems like since before Christmas, every weekend has been incredibly busy and the weeks have been full. Life is good, but hectic! My friend Moana came to Melbourne last week and we were able to spend Saturday together. Moana had been seeing my various…

    Five Minutes with Gerberas – RegularRandom

    I stopped off after the park today, and picked up this bunch of gerberas. It’s not a flower I buy very often, but they are simply lovely. I love the colours of the petals in these ones in particular, they’re so pretty in their peach petals through to pink in the centre. Would you like…
