Started in the summer and saved until the holidays. We don't get blue hydrangeas up here in the mountains the way our cousins down by the ocean do...something to do with the chemical makeup of the New England soil, so when I found this one, it was a real treat. I thought of Christmas even back in July and saved this one out!

I love hydrangeas. I like how the sunlight lights it up ~ just like Christmas lights on a tree. Beautifully captured PJ.

I'll meet you at the edge of the sunlight, just behind the shadows. The Ghost
The flower looks like it is trying to hide behind the leaves. I will have to put the icons on the other side of the desktop as not to hide it any further. LOL. Very pretty, PJ.

Imagine you are there
Glad you saved it for now... I can feel the warmth of the sun. The blue of the hydrangea nestled in all its deep green leaves makes for a superb composition. (none of my hydrangea shots came out this past year, at least not like this one) Well done, my friend. ;-)))

Life is the pits sometimes, but God and your friends are always there to help you through it.
I think the color has to do with the acidity of the soil, PJ. The more acid the soil, the pinker the color. I know the ones on Cape Cod are really very blue. I have a blue one that gave me one large bloom the first year I planted it and hasn't bloomed since. That's a different problem. The clarity and the dof on this one is so nice. I really am a big fan of blue hydrangeas.

You will be led to the knowledge of the internal things which are invisible to you, by the external things which you see before you. . . . Even so then, we can represent to ourselves in thought the Author of all that is, by contemplating and admiring the (visible) things which He has made, and ever brings into being.

Very pretty flowers PJ! You have a wonderful Christmas sweetie! =)

Lovely contrasts of blue and green - natures own colours.

The question is not what you look at, but what you see ~ Marcel Proust
~ I love hydrangeas too PJ, and the one I used to have up in Jersey bloomed the same beautiful sky blue. Lovely!

"Imperfection is beauty; madness is genius & it's better to be absolutely ridiculous than absolutely boring. And when it comes down to it, I let them think what they want. If they care enough to bother with what I do, then I'm really better than them."--Marilyn Monroe
i think if you put rusty nails round the bottom of the plant you can change the colour of them, also you can buy some stuff to change the colour too, very pretty, i am also fond of these!

My favourite of all the flowers, and this is a lovely depiction. I'm not sure about Jan's idea of nailing them down - but this one's so pretty perhaps you should before someone steals it!

Thanks to all my friends for the wonderful images I get to look at and learn from on Caedes every day. I always have something to say about them, but don't always have the time to record it. Please forgive me if I can't comment on all of your uploads.
A touch of blue in a green environement. Good job my friend, I love this one.
