‘The earth laughs in flowers’ said Ralph Waldo Emerson some time ago.

Does it still?

There is a ‘prettyish kind of a little wilderness on one side of [the city]’. It’s a most unexpected sight, but really quite delightful.

Walking through a rainforest over Easter was good for my soul.

So was capturing this moment of beauty.

Interlude #3

I came across Lily quite by accident, and I knew from the moment I saw her that I wanted to photograph her.

And so I did.

Interlude #2

I mentioned yesterday that I love taking portraits, and that my husband is my only model.

I don’t think I told a fib because the beautiful girls in this shot didn’t model for me.

I just happened to catch them in a candid moment …

Interlude #1

Second on my list of favourite things to photograph, after flowers, is portraits.

I am not at all skilled in the art of portrait photography, but I am keen to learn.

Here is an early attempt at a black and white portrait (my favourite kind).

Tim is my only model at the moment (lucky he's a good one!)
Looking good in black and white

 

My husband, Tim, is my one and only model. If you’re keen to let me practice on you, sing out!
