    More Pink Gerberas

    Julie found these beautiful soft pink gerberas and I couldn’t resist getting up close and personal with them. And then I raided Julie’s props cupboard and found these little candies! Finally, it was my mum’s birthday on the weekend, so I used one of my favourite gerbera images to make this card for her: Wishing…

    Five Minutes with Ms Robot #regularrandom

    I recently posted Five Minutes @ Hellenic Republic which was a nice little challenge from one of my photography groups. After chatting with Robyn from Captivate Me, we decided to make it a weekly event and I ask you to join in the challenge. Robyn came up with the clever hashtag “regularrandom” so we will use…

    Mums, Gerberas and Baby’s Breath

    A life update is required, it’s been so long and so much has happened, but today instead I want to share with you some macro magic with flowers because I’ve missed doing this so much. I put together this bouquet for the new years holidays, it’s pink and pretty and I wanted some flowers to…

    Deconstructed Flower – 1

    I really want to first off mention this wonderful post from my dear Lucile in Amsterdam. She has sent me some wonderful wishes for my day today.  I’ve mentioned that I recently attended a Still Life Workshop with Julie Powell in her fabulous studio. One of the things Julz wanted to do was to slice up…

    Melbourne Streets 17

    I found these flowers on our walk through Albert Park in South Melbourne. I had my 45mm lens on (90mm equivalent). This is a gorgeous portrait lens, and I’ve been trying to use it more in every day photography. You can’t get very close, it’s no good for macro, but it can produce beautiful booked…

    Macro Garden Series – 17

    Such pretty pink camellias. If you love macro like I do, check out Musin’ With Susan‘s weekly macro challenge. I thought this photo would fit in well there.  Olympus OMD EM5, 60mm macro. Happy Birthday to my dear friend Tony. It’s his birthday today and while pink isn’t really his colour (actually he can’t see pink),…

    Macro Garden Series – 16

    This is my first post from our visit to the Royal Melbourne Botanical Gardens. These flowers were so stunning – I spent quite a bit of time with them. And I fell in love when I edited the image above. As usual, I used my Olympus OMD EM5 with the 60mm macro lens. x desleyjane

    Rosy Pink

    Oh I love roses. I’m living in an apartment with a balcony and I’m wondering if I can plant roses in the big pots that I’ve brought with me…. I’m adding this macro shot to Jude’s Macro in the Garden challenge – please go and see Jude’s blog for some wonderful garden photography. Thanks to…

    iPhriday – The Pink Chicks

    I’m finally able to join Lisa from GrayDaysandCoffee‘s iPhriday again! It’s been so long and I’m so happy to be back. One of the most important things in a girl’s life is her hairdresser and I’m no exception! My brilliant stylist and friend, Mel, has been giving my hair the fab-treatment for some 12 years…
