Oakleaf Hydrangea by lisabell

Oakleaf Hydrangea

The hydrangea leaves that were featured in my project last week have almost all changed to a brilliant red. The robust white blossoms gradually turned pink and faded into papery brown. I think they’re pretty in all stages, and throughout the short, cold days of winter they will be a pleasant reminder that eventually spring will arrive as it always does and the cycle will start all over again.

Great picture. I know that the cycle will start all over...but still I'm sad to see it leave.

@mrssmith Last winter I got really tired of the short days and the grayness. I don’t think it every bothered me that much before until I started to taking photos. I’m already feeling claustrophobic.

They look chocolate. Great shot!

I haven't seen them turn brown before. Nice shot! I know how you feel- I hate to see the colors of spring, summer or fall go. Worse yet, I hate turning the clocks back. It's so depressing when it gets dark early!

@sassyinthecity They do, don’t they? Hmm, now I’m having a craving so I must go loot my son’s Halloween bag although I’m betting only the junk stuff is left.

I haven't seen a hydrangea like this before. It's really nice looking! And don't get me started on the cold, grey days ahead... *sigh*

Beautiful capture. I like the color tones. I am never happy with my hydrangea pictures. I like the DOF in yours.
