My photography efforts have stayed very close to home in the past six months since the COVID-19 pandemic started. Most of the camera roll on my phone involves my two-year-old, with a few of the new house that we are moving into next week.
My most common subjects in the summer are always the flowers in my yard; I gave a few examples for this recent challenge. Since then, I’ve been working on close-ups of flowers, something I’ve always struggled with in terms of framing and focus (my phone does not have a good macro setting). I was really pleased with this hydrangea from my front yard. I will miss this bush when we move!
I used the editor in Google Photos to give it just a tiny bit of pop. I’ve also been doing some cropping for better focus.
You can find more creativity at the original Lens-Artist challenge.

You can get a cutting of that hydrangea, leave it in water, and let it root. Then, you will have something of that plant when you move.

Ah they’re gorgeous! Do you do anything to the soil to get the hydrangea multiple color gradients in one flower? I’m going to plant one at my new house when we move in and deciding on what I want to do with the soil to determine the color

I did exactly nothing to the soil haha. I like having multiple colors on the same bush, so it works out!
