The Transformation

Today - surprise - it is overcast, grey and dreary where I live in the Southern Tier of upstate New York.

But yesterday, the sun was out and I decided to take a picture of hydrangeas.

Now, you might ask why I would take a picture of some dead flowers.  And I would tell you, they have their own beauty.

Once, they may have looked like this.

Or this.

But then the end of the outdoor growing season came.  Their leaves changed.

And one day, the frost came.

But their beauty has not ended.

One day soon, they will wear snow on their tops, like hats.  They will wait.

Then next year, the cycle will start again.

    just cuz something is old and dying doesn't mean it isn't beautiful. Just ask my grandma.
