I missed the other one. This looks good I like the colors and the lightning. Tried t take a few of some the other day but I didn't like them.

Oh, that's gorgeous! Hydrangeas are my favorite flower - I have 5 bushes in my garden, blue and pink. Love this purple...great job on the photo! Now I've got to try it...

Off to find Ty's version.
