You Capture: Summer

.
The You Capture challenge this week is: SUMMER. 
.
I think these fresh hydrangeas perfectly capture the feeling of summer.  I just keep cutting blooms of of my bushes and replacing the blooms as they die out.  I love having fresh flowers in the house!  I'm going to be sad when the hydrangeas are finished for the season because my coffee table is going to look pretty bare.

I love hydrangeas! I'm sure you're loving the fact that you can just go out back and get some fresh flowers for your house!
Thanks for the sweet words regarding my new design :) I was playing around and figured it was time to spruce things up a bit! You should DEFINITELY get your sister to take you to Meli's next time your here! You should also let me know next time you come...that could be fun :)

Those are gorgeous!! I want to plant some in our flowerbed in the front of our house so we'll have some next year. Thanks for sharing!

You are such a great photographer!
The colors are beautiful. Our hydrangeas bloom early. By this time they are gone....until next year.
Have a great weekend!

Hydrangeas are my favorite too- they were my wedding flowers! Can't wait to have a real garden someday so I can plant some of my own.

Jenny @ Anything Pretty said...

I love fresh cut flowers during the summer....they just add so much life to a house. And your hydrangeas are gorgeous!

Alissa, these pictures are gorgeous! As are the hydrangeas - wow!!

Karen@StrictlySimpleStyle said...

I adore hydrangeas and have never had luck with them. Any suggestions would be welcome!

Do you dry them for use in the fall? The colors are so gorgeous and they make beautiful dry arrangements and wreaths.
