the hydrangea

And to tell the truth I don't want to let go of the wrists of idleness, I don't want to sell my life for money, I don't even want to come in out of the rain.

- Mary Oliver

The same hydrangea bush turns a plethora of colors throughout the season. I can’t decide which I like best and make an effort to photograph them all. This year many of the blooms dried up mid-season, however I found their blooms still amazing. I took to deep watering and the later blooms blessed me with rich, deep shades of color. Now the rain has taken over, soaking their blooms and the ground they grow in.
