  • Are you ready for your close-up?

    One of my many rubber duckies 😉 This one is actually a mini rubber ducky. He is just 5cm high. The trouble with macro is that it shows how much I need to do some dusting! For The Daily Post’s Weekly Photo Challenge: Close Up. My last one, I promise!! And for Lucile’s Photo101 Rehab…

  • 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

  • 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…

  • 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…

  • The Aussie Beach

      A symbolic photo of Australia must be the beach, right?! This was a lovely hot Summer’s day at St Kilda Beach in Melbourne. For The Daily Post Weekly Photo Challenge : Symbol. x desleyjane  

  • Doors (WPC)

    This weekly photo challenge asks us to show Doors. The pink door above and below is my own front door, which I’ve posted about before here. Here is a little gallery of doors, I do hope you enjoy. I’m also submitting these to Lucile’s Photo Rehab Clinic. Happy weekend everybody! x desleyjane

  • 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
