Arterial Canopy
Blood vessels spreading carrying life-giving blood? No, it’s just a tree. It seems I’m quite obsessed with creating silly haikus…. This photo was taken at King’s Park in Perth. I was on an evening photo walk with a group of photography enthusiasts, wandering about the park and learning new techniques. Photo Walks are…

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…

Being AWOL
I am currently on day 8 of 14 away from home, at a conference in Lorne, Victoria. Lorne is on the Great Ocean Road, which, according to Wikipedia is an Australian National Heritage listed 243 kilometres stretch of road along the south-eastern coast of Australia between the Victorian cities of Torquay and Allansford. Built by…

Angry Bird
Today’s post for my dear Lucile’s Photo101 Rehab. I went out today in the sticky heat of Brisbane for a photo session but as I was getting in the car, I saw this little Myna Bird on the fence. I grabbed the camera, switched it on and started clicking, changing settings like crazy and was able…

Stalk in Shadows
By the light of day It waits Darkness descending It grows stronger Impatient Waiting for night This is my tripod and the shadows it casts at night. I don’t know if it’s just me, but I think it looks like an alien robot stalking some dark and gritty planet surface. This photo was taken…

Christmas Tea with Justine (Rehab19)
For Justine’s Tea Time #2, I am bringing some Christmas goodies made by my Mama for Christmas. She makes these every year and they are delicious (except the fruit mince pies, I don’t like them, but my family tells me they are scrumptious). We have the fruit mince pies, chocolate crackles, apricot balls, rum balls…

Miss G (B&W5, Rehab14)
Here she is. My love. Heart of my Heart. Precious, yet precocious. Sweet, yet temperamental. Gorgeous, but a tiny bit neurotic. Here she is. My love. Many of you know my puppy, Gidget. She is a Maltese-Lhasa Apso cross with a gorgeous spirit and a sweet temperament. She loves people, her best friend is a 50kg…

Lovely Lou (B&W4, Rehab13)
I am, as usual, in the Qantas lounge and about to take my 5th flight in 7 days (6th flight in 11 days). It’s been a very busy and tiring lead up til Christmas and I am thankful that the week is over. For today’s post, I give you the Lovey Lou. Not a “usual”…

Sweet Boy (B&W3, Rehab12)
This is probably my favourite portrait from the South Pacific. I was in Vanuatu, having a tour of the village. This young boy was tasked with guiding us to the final spot, where we enjoyed some local fruits and drinks and a tribal dance. I’m submitting this for Day 3 of the B&W photo challenge (Cardinal…

Curses (B&W2, Rehab11)
I was so excited when I took this photo. It was in Lifou (in the South Pacific). A group of dancers entertained us for about half an hour and this dancer was the most serious the whole time, even afterwards when the others were interacting with the crowd. I captured this image and I felt like…
