Linda,(shelbeesmom) our fellow Trek lens member is preparing to ride out Hurricane Ike in Houston.
I know that she really likes blue flowers so these are for her.

These hydrangeas are from my garden in Northern Ireland, which I had a chance to visit this summer. Hydrangeas are acid loving plants and the colour will vary from creme to dark pink to blue depending on the acidity of the soil. Very showy bushes that have a big bulbous head of colour and verve, that give wonderful mid summer colour. One of my favourite display shrubs.

I was a Landscape Architect for many years and I really miss designing gardens with these showstoppers as part of the overall scheme.

Hi Joni; there's nothing quite like blue flowers. These Hydrangea are beautiful - very nicely composed and framed.
(unfortunately, we can't grow these where I live, but they're usually available in garden centers aound Easter time, as potted plants to enjoy in the house)

Very interesting composition with the little green leaf in the middle of the shot absolutely setting off the rest of the blue flowers in the frame. Very well done I think.
All the other tech details are right on; sharpness, light, color and depth.
The frame, as has been already mentioned, is very effective here as well.

Hi Joni,
beautiful presentatıon of lovely flowers.I liked it so much.Well done.TFS.Necla.

I got tears in my eyes! Thanks so much Joni!! Not only are blue flowers some of my favorite, Hydrangeas have a special place in my heart because of my grandmother and her garden. I spend MANY days in that garden. I just love this! AMAZING blue color, love the tight crop!
How nice of you to think of me at this time!
