The purple hydrangea flower stands out because it refused (genetically) to age like its brothers and sisters
I trimmed the hydrangea today and the purple flower was the only among all that kept its color
The copper vase was a bona fide antique (ie over 50 years) when I was a young boy in SA. Hence it is now over 100 years old – talk about aging with grace
The background is our garden in Boston. The land has been around for a very very long time…. and it continues to nourish seeds and roots How awesome is nature?

Mexico city The rustic nature of the home (and of things gone by) and the beauty, freshness and youthfulness of the flowers caught my eye. The contrast of the green and blue background seems to match the dominant green and yellow colors of the bouquet providing some harmony The flash of orange topping, and the bright pink at the base brings the interest The reflection of the blue and green in the glass vase brings the background and the vase of flowers together – – lucky me – since I believe that this is what we pursue in art and life – wholeness, and harmony
Used dark edging as a filter and some post processing in APS to enhance the background
