    A bit of a departure from the usual Melbourne Streets photos. These were taken at Albert Park Lake in April’s IGers Melbourne Instameet. And a bonus for those of you who remember Lucy: x desleyjane

    Pure

    As soon as I saw the word Pure for this week’s Daily Post Weekly Photo Challenge, I immediately thought of the pure white snow and clean landscapes of Queenstown in New Zealand. This was the first time I’d properly seen snow and played around in it. My friends and I had a great time throwing…

    Spiral staircase at Albert Park Lake. Taken during the April IGers Melbourne meetup. This was my second meetup with this group. The last one was in the graffiti-laden streets of Carlton and Fitzroy. This one was at Albert Park Lake – a very different location with the lake and lots of lush lawn. It was…

    Ok, I have no idea what this is. It’s weird, it’s part of a tree, and I really like it. But I’m clueless. Anyone?   Shot at Wilson Botanic Park with my Olympus OMD EM5 with my 60mm (120mm equivalent) macro lens. x desleyjane

    Nailed It. This was my favourite shot from the walk. I love it. And it’s the last one from the IGers Melbourne InstaMeet March 2016. It was a really good walk, covering about 2km through the gritty streets of Fitzroy and Carlton.  If you would like to see more from all the other Instagrammers who…

    I found various crevices and secret chambers on our walk. With the walls all intricately painted, your eye doesn’t immediately see these little spaces. IGers Melbourne InstaMeet March 2016. x desleyjane

    Macro Garden Series – 10

    You should have seen me trying to get my finger in this shot to show scale. Typical balancing act – I was on the edge of a dropoff, shooting handheld (because I couldn’t be bothered carrying my tripod). The little receptacle (thank you Wikipedia) is the part that used to hold the petals of the…

    Macro Garden Series – 9

    I thought this was a fungus or lichen growing on this tree trunk, but had to do some research to be sure. It is a Bracket Fungus, and these are the fruiting bodies of the fungus – people sometimes call them conks apparently. While they look like mushrooms and you’d expect them to be soft,…
