Growing up, there was a bush in our front yard and it had these big flat mostly round leaves - we'd use them all summer for fans and make clothes and playing everything. We even called it the fan bush. The white flowers never really entered my kid-ly consciousness unless it was to grab a bundle and beat each other with them until they fell completely apart. Imagine my surprise when years later I found out they were "Hydrangeas". I had always thought that was some exotic plant that you saw at garden shows or in Better Homes & Gardens magazine. They're all over the place out here in the Northwest. And very photogenic I might add. Thanks for looking.

I love these 3 day themes.
I'd love to see what you would do with a theme involving your vintage sun glasses. Those would make for some fun still life pictures.
Well ya know, I have the vintage sunglasses. Hadn't thought of that. Thanks for the idea.
