Hydrangea: A Photo Blog...

"Blue Hydrangea," June 2009 (Kate's LRDC)

First, my "Hydrangea Haiku:"

June 3 & 4...Just enough color to capture my attention as I returned from the mailbox.




June 5 & 6...Color beginning to diffuse!




June 7 & 8...Definitely more than "a Whiter shade of Pale." (Procol Harem and Willie Nelson)




June 9 & 10...Getting ripe for the pickin'...



June 11...Sorry, Hydrangea. (But thank you!)
