Sweet peas, I love them! When I was coming home from a walk yesterday afternoon, I ran into a neighbour who was cutting back her sweet peas which grow on a fence by the footpath and asked if I could have some seeds as hers are particularly nice ones and have looked...
Another small scented treasure that's flowering in my garden at the moment. Lily-of-the-valley is one of my favourite flowers and I look forward to its season every year. It's amazing how such a small flower can give so much fragrance, a tiny sprig can fill a room...
After a hectic summer working non-stop, I decided to treat myself by reinvesting my earnings in a Photographic lighting studio set-up. Its still very basic. (more about that next time) And as Canon 5D had no flash I had to buy one. At least i'm ready for those darker...
It's been a while since we updated the blog, we've both been busy with other things. I've been trying to get my garden organised amongst other things, I spent some of today planting my vegetable garden, I'm looking forward to heirloom rainbow carrots this season...

Some soft pastel prettiness to start the week. Flowers are in short supply here at the end of our New Zealand winter but spring can't be far away, I noticed a solitary crocus in flower in my garden the other day, which reminds me I must go and check to see if the...
This is a simple version of the desaturated Cherry Blossom image I have up on Flickr. I'm not showing the full version's recipe because it incorporates a new texture from the upcoming pack! We hope to complete the new pack soon, so please watch this space! To get this...
One from a while back when my roses were in full bloom, there are still some late season flowers but summer is gone for another year. The soft pink of the New Dawn rose and a blue sponge-ware jug are a great combination in my eyes! I decided to process this softly...I...
