I would like to thank Sally at Smiling Sally, our gracious "Blue Monday" hostess, for giving us the opportunity to share some of the blues around us.
I love blue flowers, and if I had to choose my favorite blue flower, I think it would be Blue Hydrangeas. Not only are they my favorite blue flower, they are also a delight to photograph.
Last May, I spent a very pleasant morning at a house in Vicksburg, that has the prettiest little "Hydrangea Garden" I've ever seen.
Those benches seem to beckon you to "come sit a spell," and, after getting permission from the owner, that's exactly what I did.
It was a wonderful way to spend a perfect May morning, and here are a few of the blue blossoms I captured with my camera.
I can't believe it is now the last week of October. It seems like it was only last week that I sat on those benches that beautiful May morning. I'm so glad I captured that sweet memory for myself in my pictures, as well as those exquisite blue Hydrangeas.
Best wishes to you for a very happy Blue Monday. I hope you will visit Sally and the other participants to see the blues they are sharing today.

Oh what stunning BLUES the nature has provided and how beautifully you have captured them! Thank you for sharing these amazing photos!
now that's a nice blue monday post...
What beautiful blue hydrangea. It is definitely one of my favorites.
I also enjoy flowers. My yard is my therapy so to speak. I have had a lot of different pretty flowers, but never Hydrangeas like these. Gorgeous.
Oh such gorgeous flowers! What a happy way to start my Monday Morning!
A happy "Blue Monday" to you too!
Blue hydrangeas are my favorite blue bloom too.
Happy Blue Monday, Janie!
They are just the perfect flower, I think. It doesn't take many to make a bouquet...or if you have just one, it's enough. I have 2 bushes that are planted side by side close together...one has blue blooms one has pink.
Blue hydrandeas have always been my favorites. The colors of those are GORGEOUS.
Janie, if you ever have the chance, you must go to Martha's Vineyard (Edgartown) in the summer. In July/August, their flowers are spectacular, and the hydrangeas are the most unusual shade of blue. They are inky. I set mesmerized by their beauty. You would go wild over the flower gardens, and the one that used to belong to Emily Post literally has WALLS of flowers bordering her walk.
In the mean time, I will sit in this lovely Vicksburg garden with you and enjoy the exquisite color of those lovely blooms. I wish I could grown them, but I don't have very good luck with them here.
XO,
Sheila :-)
Such a lovely pictures. Love the blue flowers. Happy Blue Monday.
Oh, my...Janie..these are so beautiful. How blessed you were to see them in person. Beautiful photos..
Your hydrangeas were (or are) wonderful....I love them so much, I wish my house was surrounded with them.
