Sunshine on a cold November day
is like icing on a cake.
It lights up the faded petals of this hydrangea,
coaxing out the pinks, yellows and greens,
until the whole bush is singing with joy!
Sunshine in November is just what I need :)
Rosemary Danielis blogs about her magnificent and inspirational garden
Hydrangeas are one of my favourite subjects. I never tire of the way there flower petals catch the light. Beautiful shots Rosemary!
ReplyDeleteHi Jennifer, I'm hanging onto every last bit of colour and was happy to find these touches of pink before it all turns to brown.
DeleteHello Rosemary
ReplyDeleteLovely flowers with very nice soft sunlight..... i like these pictures very much.
Greetings from Holland, Joop
question to you is my google translations properly on my new blog?
Yay Joop, it is working perfectly, thank you! I am so happy to be able to enjoy your amazing photos AND read your posts.
DeleteHello Rosemary!
ReplyDeleteAbsolutely wonderful photos of the most beautiful plants.
Your photos are always perfect.
I love hydrangeas.
And your are unique.
I cordially greet.
Thank you Lucia, you always leave me the sweetest comments :)
DeleteEnjoy that sunshine, Rosemary. I certainly did. It's just what many of us need these days. Thank you.
ReplyDeleteI'm happy to share! Sunny here again today, we are being spoiled :)
DeleteSo wonderful, and so much more precious since we never know in November how many nice sunny days are left.
ReplyDeleteToo true, but at least with the snow we get the sun from above and then reflected back to us in a blinding whiteness :)
DeleteLoved your hydrangeas. Yesterday I found a huge purple bearded iris blooming in my garden. Bliss.
ReplyDeleteOh, I'd take a purple iris over my hydrangeas right about now... Lucky you!
DeleteJust found your blog a few days ago and love your close-up photographic celebrations of the small wonders of the garden. These are the things in which gardeners find joy while many non-gardeners just see the garden as a whole and miss these small pleasures.
ReplyDeleteI love how the word gardener joins us all together. Thanks for your visit, I am off to discover your blog right now!
DeleteBelas fotografias de lindas flores...Espectacular....
ReplyDeletePasse no meu blog que tem lá um Prémio....
Cumprimentos
Thank you Fernando, have a beautiful week!
DeleteŚliczne zdjęcia i do tego słońce w listopadzie oświetla kwiaty. Pozdrawiam.
ReplyDeleteCute pictures of the sun and to illuminate the flowers in November. Yours.
Thank you Giga, the sun is my spotlight :)
DeleteGlad you had some beautiful sunshine and a bright blue sky! You captured all the beautiful colors and textures of these small petals perfectly!! Hope your week is full of good things:)
ReplyDeleteThank you Tammy, I've turned into a colour hunter! As everything starts to fade and disappear, it becomes more and more of a challenge to find things to photograph.
DeleteOh Rosemary..those hydrangeas are beautiful!
ReplyDeleteI plan to include them in my garden,
If I can find one that has adapted to our climate.
Those warm sweet pastel colors do look like icing :)
Thank you Ash, they are pretty versatile, I always have to find ones that can handle our winters while in your case it is quite the opposite! I hope you are able to find a heat-loving hydrangea :)
DeleteRosemary, I love how hydrangea changes its color during the seasons, from green to cranberry-like. Photos are awesome!
ReplyDeleteThank you Nadezda, they are a wonderful, year-long beauty!
DeleteThe hydrangea looks so delicate and papery - a joy at this time of year. Do you collect some of the heads to bring indoors to dry?
ReplyDeleteI really appreciate them at this time of year Rosemary, because they are one of the last flowers left in my garden. Unfortunately I can't bring them indoors because my cats would redecorate my house with them :(
DeleteMolto belle le tue fotografie, complimenti!!felice giornata a te...ciao
ReplyDeleteThank you Giancarlo, have a wonderful week!
DeleteHello Rosemary!
ReplyDeleteI admire the beautiful hydrangeas!
Regards
Thank you Lucia :)
DeleteHello Rosemary,
ReplyDeleteGreat to see these shots!! It's so wonderful with the light on these beautiful flowers. Fantastic with the softly colored background.
Many greetings,
Marco
Thank you Marco, I do love these flowers as they fade into such soft colours :)
DeleteWow, hydrangeas in November, how lovely. We don't see many of them down here in the desert.
ReplyDeleteThanks Amy, yes, these flowers are the last of the last and now we're heading into a white desert, our winter wonderland :)
DeleteOh that cool smiling hortenzia! ))))
