THE BEAUTY OF DECAY for THURSDAY MACROPHOTOGRAPHY ๐ŸŒธ๐Ÿ’–๐ŸŒธ

in #macrophotography โ€ข 7 years ago (edited)

Hello Dear Steemians,

This is my entry for THURSDAY MACROPHOTOGRAPHY initiated by wonderful @juliank.

HYDRANGEA is one of my favorite flowers, not only because it's beautiful and come in many colors and shapes, but also because it is long lasting perennial.

These photos are a perfect example of the lasting beauty of this flower. I took these shots last week, but even today they look the same. What is especially interesting is that these flowers were white when they began to bloom in August and then turning pink at the end of September.

I also found few flowers that are already in process of decay which makes them look like a lace, as you can see on the first two photos.

Thank you so much my Dear ๐ŸŒธ๐Ÿ’–๐ŸŒธ

How beautiful are the hydrangeas, do you know that if you put them on a tile, they change color on the earth?

Thank you so much Dear @txatxy and yes I know that ๐ŸŒธ๐Ÿ’–๐ŸŒธ

Hydrangea is even beautiful when it is drying out. Especially love the lacy petals.

Thank you so much my Dear, I totally agree ๐ŸŒธ๐Ÿ’–๐ŸŒธ

There is beauty in every age. Not just in the hydrangeas life circle. One just have to have an eye for it.

That is true, although most flowers don't age as gracefully as hydrangeas and they are very short lived. For example peonies.

So lovely :)

Thnak you so much my Friend :)

Your welcome :)

Fabulous photos, Lena, You are great at taking macros. upped and resteemed
