One thing I've learned is that flowers will teach you patience. This is one of the Hydrangea in my yard. I checked every day for almost 2 weeks for this bush to fully bloom and for the flowers to be this pristene white. I was finally rewarded with this. I hope you enjoy and I thank each and every one of you that view and wish to comment.

And we have been rewarded also, Eileen - this is really beautiful. Pristine white is an understatement and so well composed and lit. Marvelous!

You nailed it, girl. What focus and DOF so close up. It is crystal clear exactly where it needs to be.. Beautiful. You had the exposure spot on for capturing all this white with the so much detail visible. Congrats.

Titus 3:5-7, "Not by works of righteousness which we have done, but according to his mercy he saved us, by the washing of regeneration, and renewing of the Holy Ghost; 6: Which he shed on us abundantly through Jesus Christ our Saviour; 7: That being justified by his grace, we should be made heirs according to the hope of eternal life." Why did Jesus Christ have to die on the cross if all it took was good works to get to heaven? It is THROUGH Jesus Christ's blood that He saved us from Hell. If we could get to heaven on our own then Jesus Christ would've had to die again and again. If you ANY questions please pm me.
