    I would have never thought I would find brown dried hy blosooms beautiful. But I did!

    Very artsy shot! And the flower looks quite nice...I would not have thought that was possible.

    Re your comment on The Villages: What shadows? I didn't see any shadows! You have a good eye!

    Great shot!

    I have a big hydrangea here in Spain. There are no flowers now but the leaves are green the whole year. I hope there will be some flowers soon!

    I like hydrangeas dried almost as well as when the blossoms are in full bloom. Lovely shot.
