It was supposed to rain today.
I’d prepared a list of indoor activities.
Which promptly got thrown out one of the many windows, that had been thrown open due to the brilliance of the sky and the golden light caressing the garden.
Another truly gorgeous day.What was I to do?
Perhaps photograph some hydrangeas? Hmm. How about lining them up on the picket fence gate leading to the hydrangea walk? That’s a silly enough idea for this playful gift of a day.
And don’t forget the purple bike!
Silly me. But it was such fun!

Thank you to each of you for your sweet words about the hydrangea blossoms and the published pieces. I honestly cherish each one and think you are way too generous. Wishing you a bright and merry, sunny, rainbow-y day. I’m off to visit you now!

My poor hydraneas are droopy and turning brown. This is gorgeous! How did you keep them healthy for so long? I love your photos. They're just beautiful.
Georgianna, even your "silly" ideas bring to life the most beautiful pictures! You are so incredibly creative. Love the hydrangeas in the glass jars, and your purple bike goes perfectly with them :)
Wow, absolutely gorgeous! I LOVE them all! I wish I could have a whole room just full to the brim with your photos. (Or I will take your garden LOL) I see a lot more photos like this that I love here on your blog, do you plan on listing more on Etsy? :)
I love these pictures! They're not silly at all, the white fence is such a fantastic backdrop for the vibrant colours of the hydrangeas – brilliant. Have a great week, Love from London xo
Beautiful!!!
LOVE these!!! You have no silly ideas – just gorgeous ones!
:)
These are all sooo lovely but I especially adore the top photo…and the comparison of hydrangea colours in your previous post was amazing. Each week of the growing season brings new magic from your camera!
(and congrats on the publications…What fun!
So happy indeed ! And who can forget that purple bike….That's so great on your published works. Definitely not too shabby to be in the New Yorker ;)
PS–thanks…That's so cool you lived in Japan. Am actually going there for a few wks, very soon
What a fun way to spend the day! :)
Oh your hydrangeas are STUNNING!!!! and I love your setups, always so beautifully thought out and presented!
I love all these pretty colours.
Oh my goodness, these images are breathtaking!! I wish I could frame them and hang them on my wall! You should submit these to Somerset Life…they'd be PERFECT!!
Georgianna, when these gorgeous images came up, they quite truly took my breath away. What a talent you have and what a joy it is to see.
I read with great interest, your previous post, and enjoyed seeing some of your published works.
I thank you for the lovely comment you left for me. I was warmed by your thoughtfulness.
hugs
So lovely~ I'm glad the weather co-operated for you today.
P.S. Blue, green and purple together are just the most perfect thing.

Wonderful colours~ I tried to pick my favourite but they are all gorgeous!! I agree with Caitlin blue-green and purple is a lovely colour combination.

Hydrangeas just make me happy–all colors of them–just like the ones in your photos. Bet they brought some happiness your way arranging them for all the photos.
Thanks for brightening my day with such delightful photos,

Hello Georgianna!
I have missed out on some beauty over here! Summer has been busy and I am looking forward to quieter days when I can visit more often! Your hydrangea shots are wonderful and I have never seen such a beautiful purple shade on a bike.
Take care,
Leslie
You know, don't you, that hydrangeas are second in my love only to peonies and ranunculus. Right? And mason jars and picket fences and purple bikes?? Heaven, I'm in heaven – even without someone to dance with cheek to cheek. WOW!
So very sweet those pictures are! :) Love both the hydrangeas and the jars and of course your lovely bike. Congrats on the publishing, you must be thrilled. So well deserved! xo
Oh Georgianna! Those hydrangeas in the jars are amazing! Simply gorgeous. Visiting your blog is like walking into the middle of a lovely country garden. Thanks for sharing!
I love this playful shoot Georgianna, love how you lined them up on the fence in just simple glass jars! And the bicycle shot too with the basket, perfection! Makes me wish I could be cycling down an old country lane right now! Have a lovely weekend!x
These are the MOST beautiful photos! The first one is exquisite! Those hydrangeas are gorgeous. Oh how I wished I lived somewhere lush and green like that. ::Jill
I'm glad I found here.I LOVEEE your hydrangeas pictures,they make me smile.
Greetings from Finland
What a lovely 'n so creative idea of lining up the aqua-glass bottles with hydranges on a fence!! I also like this gorgeous old-fashioned flower, in its many varieties! Thank you for sharing this!
Ahm, forgotten about the bike (my weakness, too:) it looks absolutely beautiful in the hydranges blossoms!
