It’s too cold here for most hydrangeas to make it through the winter but I LOVE seeing them when I visit the west coast. My favorites are the ones that only open a few flowers at a time and don’t develop the typical big full head of blooms. Of course they are all lovely.

I love the way the light is filtering through the blossoms!
thank you! i love these delicate petals and the “button” that holds them together.
I photograph hydrangeas whenever I see them and have never thought of lighting them from behind. Beautiful!
my mom has many hydrangea plants in her garden, and it’s always interesting to see what color dominates each season, depending on the soil.

oh, what are those called? my mom has one of those, too – a white one…no full heads of blooms.

i wish i could carry natural light with me everywhere (smile).
I love hydrangeas when I got married we had them at our wedding. The light is beautiful here!
thank you – what color did you have? just white?
yes they were white 🙂
What a nice present – a beautiful shot.
thank you, Richard!!
