October colors from this morning. It was once again a bit nippy as the temperatures had gone down to minus side last night.
Here are Hydrangea arborescens, commonly known as smooth hydrangea, wild hydrangea, sevenbark, or in some cases, sheep flower, after the frost had melted and left the pedals moist and shining in the cool but sunny morning air. Most of the pedals are now brown , but few are left white and green.

Love the delicate grey…
Thanks Sue, these flowers are really great macro shots, they have so much details
Indeed
It’s surprising how these flowers can survive in such cold weather. Beautiful photos.
It is, now its totally brown. The cold had done its job.
Beautiful study of Hydrangea petals!
Thanks Lindy, it is a great macro subject
