A dried Hydrangea petal in the car park this morning in some sunshine.
Better viewed large and thank you for your favourites. :O)
I have two hydrangeas in my garden. One has not yet bloomed this summer. This hydrangea produced pink flowers last summer and was much taller. This year the flowers range from a purplish-white to blue, like this one.
Having seen several pretty hydrangea photos lately here on Flickr, I decided to try my hand at it as I rode my bike past a collection of them. In developing the photo, I aimed for almost a glowing effect. It might've been easier to achieve that in Photoshop, but I did what I could with Lightroom instead.

Our hydrangea is sort of a non-descript colour, being neither pink nor blue, but I often think of it as pearl.

Happy Bokeh Wednesday!
Hydrangeas used to bloom all over Melbourne in the summer, but you rarely see them these days. This is because they need vast amounts of water and after 12 years of drought, and very stringent water restrictions, many people have given up on them. Sadly I have let mine go too - something that once ;would have been unthinkable. But there is a garden near me, where they continue to thrive. Don't ask me how. Its a small garden, and perhaps they have the grey water down to a fine art. My grey water goes onto my fruit trees and my raspberries.....we have to choose.
Though it got interrupted last summer, we've gone to Cape Cod every summer for a week with two couples over the past 13 years or so. With vaccinations, we were able to do it again this year and just returned from a magical week. Four of us are grandparents now, and 3 of us were actually toddlers together as our Moms were best friends. Hopefully we can age with some grace in the way this hydrangea exemplifies in my friends' Wellfleet garden.

The area around the cosmos garden has become a popular walking route, featuring hydrangeas planted by locals that increase in number year by year.

Hakone Tozan MoHa 1 #104 climbs the 8% grade towards Ohiradai Station as it passes a fully bloomed row of hydrangeas. Japanese mountain railroading does not disappoint.

Today I'll take a break from landscapes and post some photos of hydrangeas.

When the weather turns wetter and colder its time to think about creative indoor photography so today the speedlights and coloured gels have come out.
June in Japan is the beginning of its "infamous" rainy season. Most days from June into late July are filled with warm, rainy days and cloudy skies. Yet, it is in this rainy period when Japan's second most famous flowers bloom, Hydrangeas.
In the Tokyo Metropolis, three railways are very well known for the hydrangeas that bloom along the line, the Hakone-Tozan Railway, The Keio-Inakashira Line and the Enoshima Electric Railway. Goryo Shrine near Kamakura is a famous spot for hydrangeas, often packed with locals and tourists to view and photograph them. Here, an Enoden Type 1000 Series leads a Fujisawa bound local as it approaches Goryo Shrine.
