I’m using winter as my excuse to let the garden remain in shambles.  But I must admit I’m generally embarrassed when friends come over and have to step around the dead plants along the walkway. 

This weekend I decided to photograph the hydrangea.  Technically, it’s coming back in the Spring but admittedly I should cut it back down.  I will after I get my fill of photos…

Take a look:

Now let’s take a look from an unflattering angle.  Yikes!

Tip:
Don’t overlook opportunities to take photos.  If you were walking past the plant featured in the last photo you wouldn’t consider taking a picture.  But as the first photos demonstrated, it’s all about perspective.  Try to find beauty where others may not see it.
