Stamped Hydrangea with Peeled Paint and Worn Lipstick distress ink. Distressed bg with Tea Dye and Walnut Stain distress ink. Stamped tag and distressed with the same except also added the birthday definition and the envelope pattern with Walnut Stain using this month's layering technique. The tag started out to be the main bg of the card, but then I made a boo boo and trimmed it to use what was left as a tag. Has this happened to you?
Hydrangea with common green shieldbug (5th instar nymph).
This is a stereogram, to be viewed in crossview technique.
Separate images have been taken subsequently (the bug cooperated very well!).

Etymology
The generic name Broussaisia was named in behalf of François-Joseph-Victor Broussais (1772-1838), a celebrated French physician and psycologist.
The specific epithet arguta means "sharp or sharp-tooted," likely referring to the sharp edges of the kanawao leaves.
Perhaps it's the grotty weather we had in June/July but our hedge of Hydrangea 'Ayesha' is magnificent this year! This is just part of it.
My first test of the Canon G1X's HDR 'filter' whereby the camera takes three images at varying brightness and processes them to produce one image with highlights and shadows well-balanced.

When I walk to my library I pass this lovely hydrangea bush that I always admire. It is located outside someone's fence so I decided it was legal to help myself to the flowers in the fall when they started to turn. I was still nervous about being "caught", so I went there after dark and snapped off a few branches! I am pleased that they have dried very nicely!
As you can know the hydrangea is one of my favorit flowers. Around our home we have them in pots and in the ground. From both you see some examples.
See the whole serie from today.
Have a very nice weekend.

Hydrangea macrophylla is a species of flowering plant in the family Hydrangeaceae, native to Japan. It is a deciduous shrub growing to 2 m (7 ft) tall by 2.5 m (8 ft) broad with large heads of pink or blue flowers in summer and autumn. Common names include bigleaf hydrangea, French hydrangea, lacecap hydrangea, mophead hydrangea, penny mac and hortensia. It is widely cultivated in many parts of the world in many climates
This hydrangea shot is 100% inspired by some of the incredible hydrangea shots I've seen from Japan this spring/summer. A worthy attempt, I suppose, but I don't think I'll ever be able to capture the beauty of the hydrangea the way the Japanese can.
