  • It Wasn’t My Last Garden Shoot.

    I did a shoot in my front garden last weekend and I wondered if I’d have time to do another one. Today, I did. I wandered around the back garden today, with my 60mm macro lens and got up to my old tricks of lying in the grass to get up close and personal with…

  • Boundaries

    For The Daily Post’s Weekly Photo Challenge: Boundaries. Macro shot of the top of a gate at Southbank in Brisbane. I love to compare colour and mono shots. Olympus OMD EM5 with 60mm Macro lens. I feel like I’ve posted a lot of photos that could work for Boundaries before, but this one called Separation Binds,…

  • Quick Connect

    A very quick and silly post for The Daily Post’s Weekly Photo Challenge – Connected. I think the only thing keeping this young lady connected to the floor are these fabulously crazy shoes! These shoes have no heel, no spike, no leg at the back. She is balancing her weight on the rest of the…

  • From Every Angle.

    A very quick shoot in my garden a few nights ago. I spotted this little guy by accident so captured his adventures with my 60mm macro lens on my trusty Olympus OMD EM5. For The Daily Post’s Weekly Photo Challenge – From Every Angle. x desleyjane    

  • Creepy

    This week, The Daily Post challenges us to find something Creepy. Now I don’t usually find clowns particularly creepy, although it totally depends on the clown 😉 I felt a little chill when I noticed that this particular clown at the Royal Show (Ekka) was looking right at me!! Possessed?!!! Yikes. Have a fabulous weekend.…

  • Beneath Our Feet

      I had grand plans of finding cool things to photograph beneath my feet for this week’s Daily Post Weekly Photo Challenge but time is slipping away as I’m travelling a lot at the moment.  So when my best friend took me for pedicures, shopping, dinner, cocktails and a movie on Saturday night for my…

  • Dewy Gemstones

    The Daily Post’s Weekly Photo Challenge this week asks us for our Inspiration – what makes us get up and go each day, makes us happy. Of course, there are a number of things – family, friends, missG, nature, so many things that are inspirational, or that motivate us to get up and DO something.…

  • Muse / Space / Technique

    Don’t waste your time, or time will waste you. – Muse, lyrics to Knights of Cydonia. This Weekly Photo Challenge asks us for our Muse – what subjects keeps inspiring us in photography? For me, I don’t think it’s a particular subject, but more a technique. I love macro and close-up photography, and I love singling out…

  • Roy G. Biv (WPC 2)

    A just had to add a second post with photos featuring all of the colours of the rainbow in each photo for the Weekly Photo Challenge. This was fun to do 🙂 x desleyjane

  • Roy G. Biv (WPC 1)

    My timing seems to be quite bad. This week’s photo challenge (ROY G. BIV) is all the colours of the rainbow (Red, Orange, Yellow, Green, Blue, Indigo, Violet) and last week I published a post of some Rainbow Roses, which would have fitted this theme perfectly. So, I pottered about at home this morning and came…

  • Vivid Sydney

    I posted recently some shots of sunset over the Sydney Harbour Bridge and Opera House. After the sun had set, I left that location and decided to try another spot that my friend at work had suggested – Milson’s Point. On the way there, I drove past a stunning view so I pulled into a serendipitous carpark…

  • Enveloped in Mother’s Love (WPC)

    Enveloped in Mother’s Love (WPC)

    I was wondering through the markets at Wala in the South Pacific, taking in the sights and sounds of the tiny island when I spotted this beautiful mother and baby. It was a very quick single snap and I’m so glad it turned out. To me, it’s such a heartwarming scene. She looks so happy…
