So I see this marvelous hydrangea bush out of the corner of my eye on my way to work each day, and today I succumbed to the desire to snap a few shots. The owners were in the yard, and told me they'd grown them from little cuttings off the "big" one in the back. All the hydrangeas in this older neighborhood are blue, so I guess they're sitting on an acidic aluminum vein. Unbelievably beautiful in person.
