Snipped from the garden this afternoon to say thank you for your touching and appreciated comments on my last post. Each one means so much.
A great deal is blooming and I’ve begun gathering bouquets of hydrangea blossoms. Cool nights and sunny, warm afternoons are the perfect combination to enhance the August beauty of summer’s bounty.
I begin to feel a little panicked, about it fading, about capturing each petal, about letting a single blossom slip away unnoticed. The fridge is filled with vases, jars and pitchers of blooms to extend the time I have to photograph them.
Sleep is a distraction, and D has to remind me that I missed lunch, and sometimes dinner, too.
I am obsessed, but happily so.
(In between, I’m preparing another image collection for our agencies and editing 20 hours of video footage down to 30 minutes, with mixed success so far.)
Special thank you to Judith who kindly featured my work on her wonderful blog and made one of my images much more special in the beautiful frame she has. Please do visit her – she is a Master Gardener with a charming garden and wonderful, informative posts.
Several of you are facing some stressful days with worry over family. I understand and send all positive thoughts your way.
And to all, wishes for a joyful weekend, dear friends! I so hope it includes some quiet moments with nature and special people.

THey are all so beautiful. I sometimes feel the same way, like I am going to miss something. I try to remember that sometimes just seeing or experiencing it is just as special.
Also~ we'd love to see a photo of your fridge full of flowers :) LOL
While my son is away with a load of my stuff for storage, and before he takes my computer, thought I would run over to see your gorgeous roses and hydrangas! All are sooooo beautiful, but my fave is the very last photo. I forget to eat, and don't want to sleep, when I'm working with photos. If I had a garden, I'm sure my fridge would be exactly like yours. Have a super weekend!! See you when my computer is back in business. ♥
if and when i travel to your neck of the woods…it sounds like right now is the time to come? it sounds like your gardens are peaking, while many flowers here are faded and tired, as is the gardener in all this heat. funny you are so obsessed that you forget to eat…sustained by flower power! i understand…drink in this fleeting moment while you can….i totally get it! your love and passion for gardening is reflected in your most beautiful images.
Wow, I want such hat! What a beauty…
Enjoy your weekend too! :)
Dearest G,
Somehow I missed your last post. I hope your day was filled with sweet memories of your father.
As always, your photographs are stunning. Each day we feel the season turning, and it is a little sad to let summer go. But with these changes, there is always something wonderful to discover. Your photographs say it all.
Have a wonderful weekend,
Zuzu
Very pretty – went and checked out your beautiful image in Judith's frame – a great combo!
Dear G, Love the flowers around the hat, so lovely. It is sad to see summer blooms fade, but I do love the colors of autumn, the rust, orange, yellow, browns, reds with shots of green. The wonderful cool, crisp mornings. The touch of frost on leaves is so magical. Enjoy the rest of your weekend and take care. Jen
Oh, I missed your last post. What a beautiful tribute to your father! And your images here are filled with such warmth and sunshine and nostalgia — lovely!!!
So pretty, so soft, so romantic, you just have the prettiest images here! Thanks for sharing!
i am always in awe of your photos! and i love the last photo the most. i would've taken a photo like that too, but with plastic flowers. but yours are real flowers! you're so blessed with such gorgeous blossoms around you, g! :)
hope you're doing more than fine! have a lovely sunday. x
A delightful blog to find – thank you so much for sharing- Suzi
Thanks for the tip about putting picked flowers in the fridge. As always another beautiful post.
Oh, these are all so beautifully arranged – and all from your garden?! Oh, how I would love to have flowers like that growing near me!
Oh, these shots are SO pretty! I love the dreamy tones and the relaxed feeling.
Have a great week and I hope you don't have to feel so stressed about having time to capture all the petals :) Moa xo
Hello G
You made a simple pink hat come alive with the pretty flowers on it.
Thank you for mentioning my blog, always proud to promote your photography.
Wishing you success in getting your 20 hr video down to 30 min.

for me, there is nothing like a blue hydrangea. i absolutely adore them….no matter what we do, ours always grow pink with a purple blush. very pretty, but not blue.
when we took an east coast trip some years ago we went to martha's vinyard and there were blue hydrangeas in every garden. big, huge shrubs of blue hydrangeas. i had never seen anything like that in my life and i fell in love…..
i love your bench and especially love the detail on the beautiful table. it looks like it was stripped of it's old finish and i love the bareness of it.
beautiful photos, georgianna..
hugs, cindy
wow!!!! aaahhh!!! ABSOLUTELY WONDERFUL IMAGES!!!! your entire blog is a welcoming place to be at.
You are a great and sweet photographer Georgianna, so nice meeting you.
