Hydrangea Flower in full blooom

This is a Hydrangea flower in full bloom. they bloom in late August and

continue to bloom and turn from white to pink in September in

Minnesota.

Lovely shot Paul.  I love Hydrangea....I have a climbing one under part of our deck(deck portion is tall) was here when we moved.  I've had them in my last house, the green variety, which I really love but they didn't survivie the winter.

I like to pick them and hang them upside down to dry.  They cost a fortune to buy for flower arrangemets.  One large blossom dried can be as much as $12.00 !  So even if one was to pick and dry and sell in a yard sale in the fall, you could make a bit of cash. 

Nice shot, you are well on your 'creative way'!!  most sincerely, Gail

Nice shot with a very good composition.  And, you have framed nicely as well.

You have done a great job of capturing this beautiful subject.  The colours are so delicate that they fade to white.  The background really sets off your subject.  Nicely done!
