This was one of those times when I was so happy to have had my camera with me! We had stopped in to a hardware store and I decided to wander around outside at first. It was terribly windy, very overcast and I didn’t hold out much hope that I would find anything of interest. There seemed to be just a line of green leafy bushes against the bricks. Then I saw these, nestled against the building and almost hidden among the leaves. The plant is a hydrangea Serrata “Bluebird”. The flowers were so light and airy and seemed to be flying around in the breeze. I hope they make you as happy today as I was to see them. Have a lovely Saturday or whatever day you see this on. I send my love out to all my friends with this Bluebird!

Loved it. Look at those water drops! A very refreshing photo.
Thanks, as always, for your refreshing comment, my dear Banafshe. I always look forward to hearing your thoughts on my photos.
Really beautiful, Ellie! Just like the author of this photograph
What an extraordinary find, Ellie. I assume those delicate little buds in the centre will grow to be like those open, ‘satellite’ buds on the outside. Marvelous and the colour is superb. Great way to start the day! Thank you.
Thanks, Janet and yes, I think maybe they will, based on our own hydrangea, whose name has temporarily escaped me. I’m so glad you like it. Have a lovely day, Janet.
Great capture and wonderful colour and design. Love it.
I hoped you would, thanks, Linda. I thought it was a great find.
