Ring Around The Proverbial Rosy
Nikon D200, Date: 1/22/10 @ 12:51 p.m. using ambient window light, Shutter Speed, 1/40 sec, Aperture: f/3.5, ISO: 100, Focal Length 60mm, Spot metering, Manual Mode. Lens Nikon 60.0mm.
The rain was pounding so I had to get my new plant out of the weather before it was pounded to smithereens (is that a word?)...thus all the water.
This is a Chantilly Lace Hydrangea. The hydrangea (any type) has been one of the hardest flowers for me to capture due to it's variable difference of height from blossom to blossom...I found this ring of new buds on a new plant my husband just bought for me no reason..."just because"! (Super Sweet Man!) He knows how much I love this flower and this is a unique version of your typical hydrangea.
