Night of the Hydrangea, photo by Harold Davis. View this image larger.

These new hydrangea buds grace our side yard. You have to get really close up to them to see all their colors.

Today was a day of chaos in between storm fronts. Also, tomorrow we are leaving to drive to Phoenix with the kids to be with Phyllis’s parents. Between rain and packing and kiddie chaos I grabbed my chance, and photographed these hydrangea budlets up close and personal.

I’m also taking advantage of the opportunity of wishing everyone a happy New Year. It will be 2006 before I post again.

Happy photographing, and best wishes for a very happy New Year, everyone!
