Faded Blue Hydrangea
Loving the last faded blooms of our hydrangeas...
...the colors of summer now softer...yielding to autumn's palette.
...soon enough we will be in the season of sparkle and magic!
Hope you are enjoying a calm and relaxing weekend...
Take care, Laura

I am expecting a bin liner of blue hydrangeas to arrive from Cornwall today from my MIL! They grow like weeds at our family home there and I will take huge joy from arranging huge bowls of them for the house and for friends! This was a very timely post! I may put some on my next entry but I suspect mine wont be as beautifully styled as yours!

HI Laura
More lovely blues and gorgeous photos to entice me..
It is going to seem strange when xmas gets closer. It will be colder for you and hotter for us. Can you imagine a heat wave on Xmas day? It usually is! haha
Have fun xx ciao Julie
This makes me want to take a picture of my hydrangeas as the color fades:) Beautiful pictures! Have a blessed day!
What beautiful pictures. I found you through Artie -- you are a clever photographer!
Well Laura...you had me at faded but then to be followed by hydrangea and it's everything that I love.!!!!
I put 3 large hydrangea heads and some eucalyptus in an old white jug about 5 weeks ago,and they look just as wonderful now that they have dried off. They will probably stay there until I change them for a new lot !!!!
Yours look beautiful with the white pumpkins (something that we don't have in England). Have a lovely Sunday, Laura. XXXX
I love my blue hydrangeas at the farmhouse. Beautifully photographed, Laura.
Oh what beautiful, soft colors! They are indeed a lovely prelude to the "season of sparkle and magic!" :)
What a beautiful pallete; so soft and dreamy! I much prefer these muted shades of fall to the predictable orange and brown!

Dear Laura,
Thanks for sharing those wonderful flowers with us! I think I'll be planting some Hydrangea in my garden next spring ...
Have a nice Sunday!
Hugs,

Oh Laura, those hydrangeas are spectacular and up against the graceful white pumpkins - nature's finest, I say! Against the blue glass and sparkle, they are magical - and your photography is fabulous.

Beautiful hydrangeas! They don't grow that well in Florida.
Oh I love hydrangeas! My mom has a huge bush of pink ones in front of her house that I'm forever cutting and drying. Thanks again for stopping by Laura, and by the way I love your daughter's dolls. Definitely not the scary kind! :) Take care, Martha
Love the blue hydrangeas!!! Especially with the white pumpkins!!
I do love these photos!

I added your blog to my blogroll quite a while ago, but I couldn't leave a comment here. It finally occurred to me to try a different browser. :)
Blue hydrangeas are my absolute favorite, and when they dry with vintage-brown hues, they are even lovelier.
Gorgeous blog. Thank you for all the beauty and inspiration you share. I'm so glad that I can now visit AND leave a comment!

Nice evening
Oh how I love the Blue Hydrangea! Your photography and the presentation of your photographs are stunning! Sarah from sarah-janedownthelane told me about your lovely post/blog. I am a new follower and I look forward to seeing more of your photography soon. Enjoy the day! Rebecca
Hi Laura,
So pretty!!
I'm on vacation, but I had to check your blog.
Rosemary
Hi Laura,
I'm on vacation using my sister in law's computer, so I just wanted to say hi, and that your pictures look beautiful.
Chat when I get back,
Rosemary
Hello Laura!
Your photos are beautiful!!!
I love your dressform in your last post! Wow, how nice you made it!!!
Hugs Susanne
Love all the soft colors. You know I have a confession. I had never been a blue fan til just recently. I think you've helped with that.
The garland you bought from me years ago looks fab! I still have a few that I kept for myself but they look so much better with all your lovelies.

Hi Miss 52! As you have probably read, two of my weaknesses are hydrangeas and pumpkins---especially white pumpkins. I love your photos and as I continue to say, you are at the top of my blog list! After our chats I think it was inevitable that we croseed paths. A new friend is an unexpected benefit of this blogging process.
Beautiful pictures, such lovely colors!
