Spotted in a ground level townhouse backyard, the remaining wholeness of this hydrangea stood out gamely as the snow began its third onslaught earlier this week. I stood in a puddle formed from the previous thaw, photographed it, and this is the result, among others.
STILL SURVIVING
This shot taken March 2, following a heavy snow storm!

What a game blossom! The hydrangeas in my back-yard are wilting from the heat! What's this about being a maniac?
ReplyDeleteso this must be a hydrangea that was left over from last summer. It is amazing it survive through all of the weather we've had.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful monochrome capture.
Hydrangeas are natural survivors!
ReplyDeleteWhat a hardy plant to survive that long. Mine are long gone with the wind and rain.
ReplyDeleteUnusual to see flowers in monochrome but they turned out very well. I like the in your face shot on top.
ReplyDeleteIt would have made a great macro shot. I would love to see you join Macro Mondays.
ReplyDeleteI never saw a lone hydrangea before. You got lots of nice texture in the background evergreens too Margaret.
ReplyDeleteI did find the portrait of the chess player in Les McLean's "Creative Black & White Photography." It's in my personal collection -- good book too.
The sign in problem is a Google issue. Today seems OK, but last week, I was getting all kinds of Open ID errors on every google blog. I finally gave up and used my Google ID to comment.
Their system stinks. I wish more people used Wordpress.com -- it's far superior to Blogger.
