I love hydrangeas! I lost mine a couple of years ago along with my entire front yard when we had to dig it all up because of an oil leak that contaminated our property. It was one of my saddest casualties of that whole mess. I tried to save it but without luck.

@Laurie: How sad to lose all your front yard plantings! We feared a leak from our underground tank, and were so relieved to have it replaced several years ago before any leaks sprung.

@Elisa: Thanks. Your comment gives me the idea of experimenting with some filters with it.

I love the even lighting and delicate blush and tones, Anita. Great composition as well.

Lovely colors, light and shape of the petals. You capture this very well. I visited Longwood little more than a year ago. It is a very beautiful place. I love the old buildings on the ground as well. Actually my profile page has an image taken at Longwood; http://barbaraann.aminus3.com/about/
It is one of my favorite photos.
