The hydrangea bouquets have been drying away quite contentedly in their vases, out of my own sheer laziness and neglect really. They’re still in the water actually – I should really sort that out. Anyway, today I decided to photograph the pink ones, they have really held their colour so beautifully – the original photos…

Gin & Flowers. Again.
I love this little series, with the stark white background. And the sharpness of the colours and textures. This head of flowers was the only pink one amongst the bouquet so I thought it deserved its own spot in the gin bottle 😊 x desleyjane

Lavender Roses
The lavender rose is often a sign of enchantment and love at first sight. Those who have been enraptured by feelings of love and adoration have used lavender roses to express their romantic feelings and intentions. I picked up some lavender roses from a little local grocery store on the weekend and took some time…

Five Minutes with my Chinese Money Plant – RegularRandom
I’ve recently rearranged the living area of my apartment and moved this thriving little Chinese Money Plant to the side table next to my couch. I find it a really pleasing plant, with such detailed textures on the underside. So here’s my five minute RegularRandom treatment: Would you like to join in the RegularRandom crew?…

Do what you love.
Let the beauty of what you love be what you do. – Rumi. This is my final series of edits from the Rhoeo spathacea shoot. This particular day (I’m writing this post the same night) I was feeling a little out of sorts. It was hot and humid and we’d been out all day. My…
