Today’s photos are from my early macro images. I’ve had a macro lens now for over 6 years and it is still one of my favourite types of photography. During the pandemic, I was able […]

Spring is in the air – flowers are blooming in the garden
Spring is here in Melbourne and it has been so nice going out into the garden to see what is flowering. I planted lots of bulbs and have done my best to make sure I […]

Flowers to remember others by
Today is ANZAC day. That is our main memorial day to remember all those that fought in a war and also those that died.

Day 3 was all about the flowers and my Lensbaby
Finally, I got around to concentrating on taking photos of just the flowers. If you can believe that. Though, that isn’t really true either, but I did go there with that intention.

Day 2 – Melbourne International Flower and Garden Show
I was up very early again this morning as I made my way back into the city for the Melbourne Flower Show.

Day 1 – Melbourne International Flower and Garden Show
Today was the day, the first one actually for the Melbourne International Flower and Garden Show. The first time in three years as the last two were cancelled because of COVID.

Flowers with the Tamron 18-300mm lens
Quick post today. I’m running late but wanted to get something to you.

Not so many flowers
Hello everyone and welcome back to my blog. It is true I’m struggling with the garden and getting lots of flowers. I know what the problem is and this winter I have a lot of […]

Experimenting with freezing flowers
The other morning when I was taking some photos one of the flowers I was photographing fell off. I thought perhaps this was time to try freezing some flowers to photograph.

2022 Melbourne International Flower and Garden Show
Here’s hoping that the Melbourne International Flower and Garden Show actually happens this year. It was cancelled last year and the year before.

What Santa left me
I hinted a couple of weeks ago, but now I can definitely say, I got a Lensbaby Composer Pro II for my Fujifilm cameras for Christmas. I also got the Sweet 35 optic to go […]

Looking at old gear
The Fujifilm macro lens is going back this week and I have to get back to using my old gear for macro photography. One of the things that has been hanging around for a few […]

Trying the Fujifilm macro lens
I have been loaned the Fujifilm XF80mmF2.8 R LM OIS WR Macro lens again, but this time I am trying to decide if I really want it.

The dahlias are planted
It is that time of the year. I’ve been out in the garden a lot in the last few weeks, and there will be more posts on that to come. However, while I was weeding […]

Right now it is all about the garden
Spring has sprung and it is full speed ahead for the garden getting it ready for summer.

Trying to get my act together.
Really I am, but I am finding it so hard. Being a housewife means I don’t have a lot of time, yeah I’m kidding. I just don’t seem to be into social media as I […]

A new video where I’m talking to you
I’ve been trying to work up to this and I finally did a new video where I’m talking to you. I have revealed myself, so to speak, or my face at least.

Making videos and showing me
It has been a while, but I’m having a go at making videos and trying to decide if showing me is worth it. I know that sounds strange, but stick with me.

Springtime in my garden
The last few days I’ve been out in my garden weeding, so too tired, but here is a touch of springtime. The flowers are starting to come out.
