A Little Update.
Hello everyone. Sorry I’ve been MIA, I have missed being around here on the blogosphere. This last week, I’ve been sick with a cold/flu/thing. More generally, I’ve been incredibly busy at work (same old, same old) and also busy with my kikki.K Planner Insider gig, which has been great fun and very rewarding. On the…

Hyacinth in Lilac
Being honest may not always get you a lot of friends, but it’ll get you the right ones. -John Lennon The final hyacinth post from the bouquets I picked up on the weekend. Here are the Fuchsia and Pink versions. x desleyjane

Five Minutes with a Strange Pink Flower – RegularRandom
While waiting for a takeaway smoothie at a little cafe in Auckland (The Botanist), we browsed their little attached florist. I was quite fascinated by this weird pink flower. I think it’s some kind of Protea, but I’m sure someone can correct me here. Anyway, five minutes of shooting makes for a good RegularRandom –…

Reflections of the Auckland Region
Wherever we found a body of water in Auckland, we saw beautiful reflections of the perfect skies. Such big skies in New Zealand. I often feel that way about Perth as well – I don’t know what makes me think that, but the the sky always seems so big there. Thank you New Zealand for…

The Flowers (and things) of Hobbiton
As promised in my last post, here are my flower photos from Hobbiton in Auckland, New Zealand. Of course, I had my macro lens with me (just the 30mm, not my baby 60mm), so I swapped in and out with my usual 17mm lens every time I spotted something pretty. Firstly, we spotted a butterfly…

Hyacinth in Fuchsia
If you love life, don’t waste time, because time is what life is made of. -Bruce Lee I stopped off at the florists on Saturday morning to pick up some flowers for the weekend. I had no plans for what to buy, just something pretty. There were a couple of bunches of hyacinths on special,…

Rise / Set
Since moving to Melbourne more than two years ago, I’ve yet to find a good spot to capture sunsets. Don’t get me wrong, there are plenty of great sunset spots, but finding somewhere easy to get to and at the right time of day is difficult. Given where I work though, I might have to…

Easter Treats
This is my second Easter in Melbourne, and it doesn’t really feel like Easter without my family here. We did have a long chat for the phone this morning, and that was nice. Afterwards, I took Miss G for a walk in the park and then we went to the bakery to pick up some…

Five Minutes with a Bunny Cake – RegularRandom
Last weekend, my best friend and I went to New Zealand for a long weekend. We went to see Ed Sheeran, but also to get away and have a little break. We haven’t caught up in a long time, since she lives in Brisbane and I live in Melbourne (hence seeing Ed in Auckland!). We…

A Hobbiton Adventure
Last weekend, my bestie Moana and I went to Auckland, New Zealand for a long weekend. One of the things we did was drive to Hobbiton, the Lord of the Rings movie set where The Shire was set up with all the Hobbit Holes and Hobbit villages. We had such a great trip – it…
