Lucy? Are you out there?
Ah Lucy, how I loved you. You were my constant companion and shining light. Our time together was painfully short, but we hit it off instantly and became firm friends. I remember how you were so excited when we went to the beach, you couldn’t wait to call your mum and tell her about your…

Reaching Up
I have had this asparagus fern since I moved to Brisbane 15 years ago and my mum and dad had it at their place for many years before that. It’s fairly neglected, but seems to thrive. Every couple of years I re-pot it. I want to separate it out into a long line of plants…

The Moon of Blood… Or Cheese?
I’ve never tried to take photos of the moon before. I don’t know why, I’m quite fascinated by astronomy but I don’t really know a lot about it. I was SO looking forward to the Blood Moon this weekend. I even put a calendar entry in my phone for “Pink Moon” to remind myself. I…

Blur
For the week’s Weekly Photo Challenge, we are prompted with the word Blur. At Christmas, it was very hot here in Brisbane and Gidget was cooling herself in the air conditioning so I took thee two shots, where I’ve moved the focal point between two different spots to create a blurred background, and a blurred…

Jade Droplets
It’s going to be a rainy Easter this year. In the last 3 days, we’ve had 170mm of rain (6.7 inches) and it is forecasted to continue for the next few days. This morning, I went out in the drizzly rain with my camera to capture some droplets on my jade plant. I’ve had this…

Arterial Canopy
Blood vessels spreading carrying life-giving blood? No, it’s just a tree. It seems I’m quite obsessed with creating silly haikus…. This photo was taken at King’s Park in Perth. I was on an evening photo walk with a group of photography enthusiasts, wandering about the park and learning new techniques. Photo Walks are…

Alien Plant Farm
It’s intriguing what a macro shot can show you. On my recent walk through my garden, I took these two photos. I find them to be quite strange and almost alien-like structures. I think they make great freaky additions to Lucile’s Photo101 Rehab Clinic. This first one is a small pest with a milky sap…

Tea(?!) for Two
For Justine’s Eclectic Teatime #8, I am bringing along a different kind of deliciousness. She did warn you that it can get a bit wild! I met with a friend for a drink before dinner in a little bar in Glebe (Sydney) sometime last year. We tried a local beer and it was served…

Let it Be?
I took my camera on a stroll through my garden on Sunday with my 60mm (120mm equivalent) macro lens attached. I came across this little garden pest growing amongst the rocks near my clothesline. As I usually do, I got down low and spent some time shooting this lovely little flower. It’s growing quite wildly…

Birds & Cider
Some birds are not meant to be caged, that’s all.– Stephen King, Rita Hayworth and Shawshank Redemption. The reason birds can fly and we can’t is simply because they have perfect faith, for to have faith is to have wings. – J.M. Barrie, The Little White Bird. These photos are going to Lucile’s Photo101 Rehab…

Fly By Night
On a recent flight home from Sydney, I captured a photo of some architecture which I called Curves and Edges. I almost always arrive home from a trip in the late evening, it’s almost always dark when I get to my car. And I’ve always enjoyed seeing the airport lit up at night. Never…
