Flowers for Friday – daylilies and blue hydrangeas
I saw these orange daylilies nestled among the blue hydranageas as we were walking from SeaQueen’s house to the neighborhood beach, on the Sunday of July 4th weekend. I hadn’t brought Dee Dee with me, because well, we were going to the beach, and I was afraid to expose her to the sand. I was also afraid that we might all get in the ocean at the same time, and then she’d be vulnerable to theft while we cavorted in the water.
But as it got to be later in the afternoon, and everyone was just about tired of being at the beach. I decided that with the way the light was changing, I had better walk back NOW, pick her up and take a bunch of photos with her, before the light changed any more.
So I did.
Remember that this was the first weekend I really worked with Dee Dee extensively, and the photos were not taken in Fine mode, as I had intended to do (and as Kristine kindly encouraged me to do). But I still like them.
A lot.

and the big size
You know, I think I like that one the best. The BIG one. You really should click that link to see it.
Are you tired of them yet?
Well, not me.
Cause I love orange and blue together.
And well, you know about me and hydrangeas, right?
The BIG version.
I took all of these photos yada yada yada Dee Dee blah blah Nikon D70.
(that was for Sheryl, did you spew water on the cats this time?)
Closet Metro says:
The BIG pic is so purty it made me chuckle a little. You know something is good, if looking at it is such a pleasant experience that you chuckle.
Amber says:
Very nice shots. I am glad that you are having good fun with your camera.
Squirl says:
I love these flower pictures. I looove hydrangeas. I really liked the picture from your link to the April post, too.
I posted one in honor of Ladybug yesterday. Later today will be my “see-ya, I’m gonna be reading Harry Potter” post.
Danielle says:
Squirl, I had wondered if you were going to a book store party tonight? I’ve been re-reading book 5 lately. Boy is there a lot I didn’t remember. Plus, it is just fun to re-read it.
Metro – I’m glad the BIG one made you chuckle. When I looked at them on my laptop last night, they looked fine…. here at school, with a bigger monitor, they look a bit pixelated.
But still fun to see close up I think.
Amber, thank you. I _am_ having fun.
Squirl says:
If I were to go get a book at midnight I’d probably just want to stay up to read. My body definitely say no to that one.
LadyBug says:
Cool pics, Danielle. And thanks for the not-so-gentle prodding to open the BIG picture. It was a very nice shot.

Happy Weekend, my friend!
