For those that haven't seen it, Ron Coscorrosa wrote a nice post that's worth a read and certainly spoke to me and my need to grow as a photographer (www.naturephotoguides.com/blog/more-than-pretty-pictures). I also interacted a bit with Mark VanDyke regarding the post and he wrote a follow-up post that definitely spoke to me (markvandyke.net/thoughts-more-than-pretty-pictures-by-ron...). They're both worth your time, trust me.
I've mentioned on here before about wanting to 'see' better and Mark's post really struck a chord. I want to better capture the essence of a place, not only the ultra-wide, "pretty" picture. I will say everyone's on their OWN path...I just want to evolve and get a little better each year.
This shot is from a visit to Charleston back in May. Pretty sure it was a hydrangea, but it's uniqueness really struck me.
Hang in there, it's almost Friday!!
Thanks everybody for your appreciated comments and favourites.

More hydrangea and more love! Do you like my vintage cookie plate? I'm trying to avoid candies but eye candy won't do any harm...
August is the month for gorgeous Hydrangeas. Lace-cap varieties are outstanding for their complex blooms. I love their starry centers.

The Hydrangeas did very well this year, although in general the heads are smaller probably due to the hot summer.
Now some have been dried and form a lovely dash of colour in the room.
Hydrangea, the name, comes from the Greek words "hydro" or water, and "angeion," or vase = water vase, they prefer a lot of water.
A very ancient plant, found in fossils going back thousands of years.
Flower lovers will know that there is a flower language.
Every sentiment is expressed in one form or another by delicate blooms.
Of course, even the experts disagree on the "true meaning" of many flowers and most have different meanings to different people.
So, while all flowers convey thoughtfulness and love, a gift of flowers for a special someone will always create its own personal meaning, too.
HYDRANGEA - Thank You for Understanding.
Have a wonderful day and thank you for your comments with all my heart, M, (*_*)
