Here,

in the garden of a good friend,

I’ve captured a closeup of one of the blooms on her hydrangea,

one that has turned a lovely, dusty shade of lavender.

She invited me over

to take photos of her glorious gardens.

I edited and gave her seventy-three images,

and have them to post to my

blog as well.

Afterwards,

we had coffee and a decadent pastry

in the air-conditioned Grand Central Bakery

in Burien.

Good coffee is a pleasure,

good friends are

a treasure!

  1. I know that the elements in soil determine color of those hydrangeas….they don’t grow around here, so I think they might not be good in this zone. I do have the lime-white one (not a mophead, but similar), and a lace cap that starts creamy white and turns reddish as the flowers age. I LOVE, LOVE, LOVE the ones that bloom in colors….I was able to enjoy some in SE Portland last year when we were visiting our son and his wife. When I see the blue ones in Home Depot in the spring, I’m always so tempted to buy one, but I don’t think they would survive. Your photo is beautiful, Madge…again, so wonderfully focused.
