  • Rose Up Close

    I love roses and these buds were so pretty. I also couldn’t resist shooting the aftermath of flower death, with the bugs finishing it off. Another submission for The Daily Post’s Weekly Photo Challenge: Close Up. For Lucile’s Photo101 Rehab Clinic. x desleyjane

  • Recharge

    On the weekend, I was pottering about shooting for The Daily Post’s Weekly Photo Challenge and came up with this shot some rechargeable batteries that I bought for my solar lights. PhoTrablogger runs the Mundane Monday Challenge where we are to find the beauty in everyday mundane things and I think this one fits the challenge.…

  • Brisbane Wheel in Winter

    I felt the need to show you our wheel separately this month. I was at Southbank for my recent Changing Seasons shoot, and I really loved the sky behind the wheel as the sun was setting. These were taken with my Olympus OMD EM5 camera. Off they go to Lucile’s Photo101 Rehab Clinic – come…

  • Calling

    An interesting place to hang out and make a call. This is a bicycle repair station. While he was here on the phone for about 10 minutes, a couple came up to use the repair station and he was totally oblivious to their presence. They waited about 30 seconds before shaking their heads and leaving.…

  • Dead Close

    I simply adore this shot. It’s just a dead leaf, but I am fascinated with the shapes and textures. And only a couple of centimetres across. I was doing a shoot in the front garden for The Daily Post’s Weekly Photo Challenge (Close Up) and spotted this just above eye level, hanging down from a…

  • Iced Up, Close Up

    We had a large piece of ice that wouldn’t fit into the cooler so I threw it onto the grass. When I went out in the garden to do some macro shots for The Daily Post’s Weekly Photo Challenge (Close Up), I noticed the melting ice and took a few shots. Is it just me, or does…

  • Blossoms, Up Close

    You know I can’t resist macro shots of flowers!! These are all the same plant at various stages. I’ve included the shot where I’m holding the blossom just to show you the size. For The Daily Post’s Weekly Photo Challenge: Close Up. And for Lucile’s Photo101 Rehab Clinic. x desleyjane

  • Bumpy Split

    Another shot from Queenstown, it was a cloudy and overcast day, some snow and very cold. This photo is another one for The Daily Post Weekly Photo Challenge: Half and Half and also for Lucile’s Photo101 Rehab Clinic. x desleyjane  

  • Spiritual Halves

      Ok, thank you for indulging my apparent fascination with the Weekly Photo Challenge (Half and Half) this week. I enjoy angles and lines and usually try to show these to their extreme where possible. This photo was taken in Chiang Mai in Thailand. So much gold everywhere you look, but outside almost poverty all…

  • Beautiful Brisbane – July 2015

    Here is my post for Cardinal Guzman’s Changing Seasons event. This is a very cool event where we are tasked with going back to the same location each month and taking photographs there to see the changes that occur from season to season. I have only done this every second month, I have to admit! I’ve…

  • Split on the Diagonal

    I couldn’t resist another photo for this prompt (actually I might have a couple more up my sleeve). This photo was taken at Coronet Peak in Queenstown, New Zealand. My eye was caught by the lines created with on the diagonal here. And the white snow, blue sky, white clouds were just glorious. For The…

  • Split in Two

    This photo was taken at Shorncliffe Pier, north of Brisbane. Such a clear afternoon, not a cloud in the sky. For The Daily Post Weekly Photo Challenge: Half and Half. Here is the prompt: This week, share an image that has two clear halves, literally or figuratively. You could focus on composition, like me, and take…
