Description
A quiet spring evening, as the sun sets and the warm breezes begin to cool, is the perfect time for a stroll through the garden. You see the hydrangea, one of your favorites, has bloomed to perfection this year. The glorious blues and whites and pinks blend together in visual melody. A thoughtful snip of the garden sheers here and there and the magnificent bouquet will soon be gracing your favorite crystal vase on the shining, freshly polished dining room table.
But first, you stop. You gather the flowers together and take a seat in the comfy lawn chair ... lean back ... breathe deeply ... and spend a few moments just ... being. As if your soul is awake for the first time that day ... you see the incredible golden light, smell the fragrant air and hear the gentle bird song ... all of which herald the ending of the day.
All is right with the world.
Fine art purchases of this image will not include a watermark, and if I may make a recommendation ... this image will look its very best on the fine art paper choice of "picture rag."

To those of my neighbors who might be reading this, I did not clip the flowers. It's all done with smoke and mirrors ... and photoshop magic!!
