Sip of Daisies by Leanne LindsaySip of Daisies by Leanne Lindsay
My husband surprised me with a sweet little bunch of daisies this afternoon! Their cheerful faces always brighten my day, and I couldn't wait to get creative with them. Instead of a traditional vase arrangement, I decided to have some fun and capture their beauty in a unique way. This Coca-Cola can caught my eye - the bright red contrasted perfectly with the white daisy petals. I popped a simple arrangement in the can, tilting it slightly for a touch of whimsy. The vivid blue background added another pop of color, making the daisies the real stars of the show. Using natural light streaming through the window, I captured the soft texture of the daisy petals and the vibrant green center. This photo is a reminder that beauty can be found in the simplest things. A few daisies in a repurposed can - a touch of nature reclaiming something man-made. Even the most ordinary objects can be transformed into something creative with a little imagination.
James Craig -150 Years by Leanne LindsayJames Craig -150 Years by Leanne Lindsay
On this day, I had gone into Sydney on the ferry in the hopes of taking some street photographs. On the harbour, in the distance, I could see a boat spraying up water. I didn't take much notice of it but after an hour or so, I started getting curious and paid it more attention. The boat started getting closer and I could see an armada of sail boats of various ages and characters heading towards me. It was then I realised that this parade was to celebrate the 150th anniversary of the James Craig. This magnificent sailing ship was built in Sunderland, England, and launched on 18 February 1874. In her early life James Craig carried cargo far and wide, rounding Cape Horn 23 times. She is Australia's oldest working tall-ship.
Blueberry Macarons by Leanne LindsayBlueberry Macarons by Leanne Lindsay
Sometimes a gray afternoon can spark a little creativity in the kitchen! The rain was coming down in sheets the other day, and I just wasn't in the mood to be stuck inside. But instead of curling up on the couch, I decided to combine my love of baking with my love of photography. I whipped up a batch of these delicious blueberry macarons, and while they were baking, I prepped my camera to capture them.
Even though the weather outside was gloomy, the warm light from my living room window created a perfect spotlight for my little morsels. I love how the camera captured the vibrant colors of the blueberries against the deep grey plate. And baking always makes my kitchen feel cozy and inviting, so it was only fitting that the photo turned out the same way.
