Hydrangea

I think these two flowers are hydrangeas?? Again, scanned into the PC from a film print. I’ve tried to articulate a difference between shooting film vs digital. There are probably many differences, but one that strikes me is that film images sometimes have a softness about them. I guess with Photoshop anything can be altered to look like anything. Outside of the act of editing I think  this softness is something that strikes me. I guess the same point has been made between vinyl recordings and digital; the vinyl recordings have a ‘softness’ to them, if I were to choose one word to explain the difference.

Hosta

I’m hoping my hosta will have bloomed by the time I get back home this coming Thursday. Going to Portland today to watch over our granddaughter- or maybe it is the other way around? Hopefully will have new material to post when I return to Seattle.Hosta

Carol’s Flowers

My daughter’s neighbor, Carol, has a really pretty clematis vine that I wish I could grow. She explained her pruning technique to me last week, but I have had no luck with this type of clematis to date. They all die after I prune.PortlandClematis
