And the Show Goes On

My neighbor's hydrangea has been gradually morphing its colors ever since mid summer when it first bloomed. Not sure I have seen them take on hues like this before but maybe I wasn't really paying attention. These were a light almost pastel blue when they first bloomed with solid green leaves but are now a deep blue bordering on magenta and the leaves are changing as well. The remaining greens in the leaves were almost glowing when I took this shot earlier this week.



C&C always welcome.

Wow colors.

It's like the pastels have given up and decided to drink the kool-aid!

Thanks Michael - never knew they liked grape kool-aid so much

That's a really cool shade of purple you just don't see much in the real world.

Thanks Jim - I was a bit surprised to see these colors as a fall treat.

Beautiful range of colors here.

Thanks Jameel - The color effect doesn't seem to last long. I shot this earlier this week and it has mostly faded already.

Wow, looks like something under blacklight!

Thanks Monika - now you have me wondering what it would look like under a black light. I do have one but its for curing UV wood finishes and not illuminating my hippie wall posters (I did have one of those too back in the late 1960's)
