And the day came when the risk to remain tight in a bud was more painful
than the risk it took to blossom.

    What a beautiful marina Sylvia and gorgeous view from high up there! The blue Hydrangeas are gorgeous, I don't have much luck with them at all, I think it just gets too hot here~

    Oh yes -- I can do with some of that now my trees are still naked and grey - even though I like that too.

    Yep, I'm looking forward to warmer weather too... but summer is sometimes a tad too hot. It's probably nicer in Seattle. :)

    Summer time and the living will be... well if not easy, at least beautiful.

    The macro of the hydrangea is absolutely perfect!!! I'll be back in the Pacific Northwest by summer (if all goes well) -- so I won't have to be jealous (as I was of your Spring shots!)

    Those are so meaningful photos, and i love most the last one. The first i always see in my window. But even if we have whole year summer in this country, haha, it is still lovely to see in photos, as if we are not living it the whole time!
