    Retired Rower. 

    We came across this gentleman as we were walking along the bank of Albert Park Lake in South Melbourne. We asked if we could take his photo and he laughed at us. He said to tell everyone that he is the retired rower. I noticed his name on the canoe behind him so I looked…

    I was so happy to find so many chances for macro shots on our walk through the very urban streets of Fitzroy and Carlton. In fact, I used my macro lens exclusively for the last two hours of the walk. I found this plant outside of the diner where we finished our walk. It was…

    Admiration

    I’ve met a very cool group of people via the IGers Melbourne hashtag. Each month, we all get together to photographically investigate a particular area of the city. In April, the meetup coincided with Earth Day and became a world-wide InstaMeet (WWIM), where people from all over the world shared their images with the same…

    iPhriday – Red Tram Rider

    On the tram on my way home from the April IGers Melbourne Instameet, this lady sat opposite me with her family and I liked her red coat. It wasn’t til I was playing around with editing that I noticed that her shoes, phone and necklace are also red! For Lisa’s iPhriday event where we share…

    I always love finding words in street art, messages for the viewer. The last one is my favourite. Although I do feel like cake now….   IGers Melbourne InstaMeet March 2016 I did post a couple of these on Instagram last month…. x desleyjane

    I really enjoy the textures when nature meets street – the softness of the plants against the rough and harsh bricks. I included the church shot here because I love the textures here. From my IGers Melbourne InstaMeet in March 2016. x desleyjane

    I joined in the IG’ers Melbourne meetup this month – an Instagram group which hosts photo walks in your city. It was a great day walking the streets of Fitzroy and Carlton in Melbourne city. I wanted to take shots that were a little different, so I popped the 60mm macro lens on and approached…

    Only Bright Sparks Need Apply

    This charming set of stools stood waiting outside a cafe in Rathdowne Village, Melbourne. I thought they made a lovely and bold statement, even though it seemed weird that there were no tables to go with the chairs. For some reason, I thought of a line of nervous youngsters sitting here, toes tapping, nails bitten,…

    A Few Tasks Completed

    There’s so much to be done when you move interstate. So much paperwork, so many phone calls, online forms… It’s all necessary but finding the motivation to get it done is not so easy. But finally, I’ve done the major things: Paid off my car loan – woo hoo!! made an appointment for getting my…
