    Five Minutes with a Thorny Flower Crown – RegularRandom

    This week’s RegularRandom features a succulent that I have photographed before, for one of my first RegularRandom posts, here. Here are the rules: choose a subject or a scene spend five minutes photographing it – no more! try to not interfere with the subject, instead see it from many angles, look through something at it, change…

    This was actually two bushy trees planted very close together, so the flowers intermingled between all the bushy leaves and stems. Such an intricate flower, in two beautiful colour combinations. Olympus OMD EM5, 60mm macro, early morning, handheld, wishing for more sleep. x desleyjane

    This very red flower demanded some attention. It is so vibrant, quite small, but definitely catches the eye. Of course, I don’t know what it is, I’m sure you can help me!   x desleyjane

    Lavender is a very popular plant in my neighbourhood. I photographed it a few times for this series. This collection is from one front garden. I like the mix of old and new growth and the shades of lavender – some more blue and some more pink. There were no bees this time, but there…

    One Letterbox, Three (Four) Ways.

    And now for something completely different. I’ve been playing with some new Lightroom Presets. I’ve had them for a little while but haven’t used them before. Here is the original photo, edited how I would usually edit it: Although, this is a photo that I would probably edit in black and white usually, so: I…

    The Final Sunflower Series

    For my last sunflower post, I wanted to go in as close as I could get with my 60mm macro lens. Those little hairs on the leaves really pop out. The finer details are all right there. And then we move in a little closer. And finally, does beauty turn? Is this still beautiful? The…

    Five Minutes with Coffee – RegularRandom

    Oh coffee, what would life be like without you? This week, I ran out of coffee, and then I was home too late each night to take delivery of my coffee order! Disaster! So I started each day with orange juice at 6:45am and grabbed a coffee on the way to work at 9am. I…

    I tend to shoot quite quickly when I’m walking, and this time was no exception since I had Gidget with me and she is always on the move. So for some flowers, I only took one shot. Here is my little collection of random flowers where I didn’t get more than one shot. I love…

    These purple and white flowering shrubs were quite common in the gardens where I walked. The light was quite lovely, but there was also a light breeze waving the little branches about.   x desleyjane

    Just a quick note before this post to say that my FoBE posts are all scheduled in advance, most written in early October.  x This is from my second trip around Brunswick East. When I walk Gidget in the evening, I go across the road and down the street and back up again. In the…
