Up in the Clouds
With my new job, I’ve been getting up incredibly early (for me) at around 6am. It’s Winter in Melbourne and the sun doesn’t rise until a little after 7:30am at the moment and the temperature at 6am is usually around 4 degrees Celsius. Last Saturday morning (yes Saturday, NOT a workday), I got up around…

Cockatoos Gathering
I’ve always loved cockatoos. They have such fun personalities. We had one when I was a kid. We also had a galah, which being pink and grey, was my favourite. We saw these during our touristy trip into the Dandenongs just outside Melbourne. x desleyjane

Reflections of a Man and a City.
These photos were taken at Eureka SkyDeck in Melbourne. Eighty-eight floors up and looking out over my beautiful city. I was putting my camera away when I noticed this reflection. I was standing close to the glass and my brother was behind me, about 15 metres away and I was struck by how cool it…

The Twelve Apostles

Balloon Bursting Fun!
A couple of weekends ago, one of the photography groups that I’m a member of, organised a balloon bursting event. They’ve run it a couple of times and it fills up first, but this time I managed to get a spot. And I am so glad I did! It’s an exercise in fast-shutter speeds and…

Flatlay Love
I am fairly obsessed with flatlay photography. I recently got this new backdrop and this gorgeous wreath and so I spent an afternoon photographing it. This post is the reason why I couldn’t eat my lemon meringue pie until the next day! Sorry if I am a little absent this week and next – my…

Pale Pink Tulip on Gold Tray
My local grocery store, just a tiny independent one, sometimes has the most gorgeous flowers and they are very inexpensive. Here is some time I a spent with a tulip and a gold tray – much more than five minutes, hence I couldn’t make it a RegularRandom post! I have shared some of these on…

Melbourne Graffiti – Brunswick Street, Fitzroy
We spent some time checking out the street life and street art in Fitzroy last weekend and this is some of what we found. First up, this is Grace cafe, where we had breakfast – I love the contrast of the two walls. Stand at the front and see the serene and angelic faces. Just…
