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.

  10. 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!

  18. 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.
