Today is officially the first day of summer, though it has certainly felt (temperature wise) like summer for quite a long time. And this weekend was no exception! I took a few minutes to photograph some of my favorite signs of summer - my hydrangeas. I first fell in love with hydrangeas while honeymooning on Nantucket. It seemed that behind every garden gate, and around every doorway were gorgeous bunches of hydrangeas. This particular plant hasn't flowered before due to deer munching on it. It looks great this year, though, and the color is just phenomenal. The mature blooms are this amazing blueish-purple, but the ones that have just bloomed are that beautiful greeny-white with the purple tips. Perfectly lovely.

I love hydrangeas too ... also because of Nantucket honeymoon memories.
I hope you'll be enjoying many more summertime pleasures (and vacation!) soon...
beautiful shot! hydrangeas always remind me of my Nana. She had several large bushes around her front porch and we'd pick the heads off and hang them up to dry. Great memories!
I love your DOF an composition!
