Winter in my garden

We are currently having a brief spell of calm Winter weather, so I popped outside with my camera and macro lens to capture a few images in the garden. Granted there is not much in flower, but I don’t have all that many flowers in my garden anyway. I have a new flowering creeper on…

Sale Botanic Gardens photo walk

On a recent trip to East Gippsland, I arranged a Photo Walk with some of the locals at Sale’s Botanic Gardens. We had yet another gorgeous day, a little cool first thing, but it soon warmed up in the bright Autumn sun. We spent about one and half hours wandering the grounds, stalking the wild…

Wiccan Ways

It’s funny how fate works. One of my HMUA artists, Teighan put out a call for some models and Nikki responded. Now Nikki shot with me about five years ago and then life happened and she stopped modelling, had a family etc. She was thinking about getting back into it, we were looking for a…

Kangaroo Paw

Kangaroo Paw is a weird little flower, named for its likeness to Kangaroo Paws (as in the animal). I think they are so pretty and so structural, We have several in our own gardens, but only a few are really abundant. The common red one (which we have) is fairly easy to grow, the yellow…

Paper Daisies

I have a bit of a confession to make. I adore flowers and every time I photograph something, that seems to be my current favourite. I like so many different varieties, it’s hard to just pick one. There are a few I am not huge fans of, like carnations, stock and a few others, it…

Pam’s roses

When your neighbour has such beautiful roses, it’s hard not to pop in and capture them. They were not at their best this visit, but still so beautiful. I put together a little video as well which is on YouTube… Enjoy… ~ Julz, xo
