November Hydrangea

fading beauty

I love my hydrangea bush, and never tire of taking pictures of the beautiful blooms. I'm in awe at how many transformations they make from spring to fall. This shot I captured this morning may be my favorite yet. Its beauty slowly fades, but it's still breathtaking. This is my submission for Kim Klassen's Texture Tuesday. The prompt today was to use her texture "Phoebe". I used it in Overlay mode at 76%. I then opened RadLab and used Oh Snap, Vario-Sat, and Prettyizer - all at 100%.

  1. Lovely shot - one of my favourite plants too. Have you ever seen one when the petals on the blooms have become skeletons? If you leave a cut head outside in a sheltered spot, that happens......more photos of their final stage. Great textures.

  3. This is so lovely! I like hydrangeas too and the many colour changes they go through. You have done a terrific job of editing, I like that one little oak leaf too, the way it catches the light.

  4. Lovely to see your images. I often thought your words needed your images to complete your thoughts! RDS
