The long cool spring means that many hydrangea flowers started blooming late this season. This is among the earlier ones. The one to the lower RHS corner is still all green.
I'm always astounded at the beauty and detail of nature.
This is the backside of an Hydrangea leaf with the sun shining through.
With my left hand I lifted the leaf toward the sun, with my right hand I held my camera and macro lens, capturing this amazing design...
Enlarge for the best view!

There are no hydrangeas in my own garden, but several of my neighbors have large bushes in their yards. Now, I've been known to break off a blossom or two from flowering plants alongside a path. However, people really frown on other people wandering into one's garden to snitch a pretty posy or two. I was quite satisfied to capture the flowers growing alongside the road. I'm sure my friend was pleased I made that choice as well.
The severe drought in the Northeast Corner of Connecticut is affecting everything from the grass—almost totally dead now, and the beautiful hydrangea bushes along one of our fences. They began dying almost as soon as they bloomed.
This is from a pot I have under the barbecue,
when I uncover the patio furniture the Hydrangea is full of buds.
