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

Dogwood Rose, Frozen
As you know, I was obsessed with Julie’s set up for frozen flowers melting under the camera. Today, I’m sharing with you the second flower, a Dogwood rose. In real life, it seemed a little boring to shoot since the petals became quite limp when wet, unlike the previous peach rose. But when I was…

A Study in Rheology
I think this is my last Painted Planets post. We stirred up the water to join the painty liquids back together. I love the movement in these first two shots. As stated on Wikipedia: Rheology is the study of the flow of matter, primarily in a liquid state, but also as “soft solids” or solids…

F(rose)n in Time (4)
Another little post with these beautiful peach roses. I zeroed in on the ice strings down on that leaf under the flower. One more post on these roses to come, then I’m done, I swear. x desleyjane

Five Minutes with an Air Plant – RegularRandom
Many of you know that I like to pick up a bunch of flowers each weekend and, if I get time, photograph them, or use them in styled photos. This weekend was the first one in a few where I’ve had time to pick up a bunch. At the florist, they had these adorable little…
