Autumn Intonation

November 11, 2020 by Greg Molyneux

35mm photo of a quick fire hydrangea bathed in rich golden light. The autumn pinks, yellows, and oranges of the flowering bush explode in a panoply of autumn color backdropped by smooth bokeh.

Autumn sings its beauty in mysterious, esoteric ways. Yet the comprehension is there if only we take the time to look and listen. The beauty of autumn reveals a promised truth: rebirth and renewal is always there waiting for us. Take a moment to listen and observe the songs nature speaks.

A Farewell to Flowers

October 24, 2017 by Greg Molyneux

Quick fire hydrangea flower macro photo.

Some pink to delight. A touch of green to soothe. An easy beige to calm. A spread of brown to hasten. Fall is upon us as much as this colorful bouquet would show otherwise. If looks could deceive this quick fire hydrangea would take a bow in the starring role. Come spring this bush blooms […]

Backyard Bouquet

October 6, 2016 by Greg Molyneux

Square format low key cross processed photograph of a quick fire hydrangea crown.

I am suffering from an itchy shutter finger. Photos have been few and far between lately, and once I saw a spot of afternoon light touch upon my backyard quick fire hydrangea I popped on the 35mm and squeezed off a few shots. I set my aperture to a wide open f/1.4 in hopes for soft […]

These are for you

A low key photograph of a late season pastel colored quick fire hydrangea backdropped by dark tones and smooth bokeh

Friday’s are always better with flowers. At least I think so. With Fall here this is getting to be just about it for flower season. Until next year, little buddies.

Grooving on some sunshine

September 28, 2014 by Greg Molyneux

A cross processed macro photograph of a late season quick fire hydrangea, its white petals fading to pinks and purples.

I took this on Friday so I’ve been a little lazy in getting this posted. My plan was to post this for #floralfriday but hooray laziness. That was sarcasm. Mostly. Each season, for the past three seasons anyway, I make a point to photograph my backyard quick fire hydrangea in the early Fall; after its […]

Beeswax, are you minding it?

August 20, 2014 by Greg Molyneux

In this macro photograph a carpenter bee is captured from behind as it pollinates a quick fire hydrangea, basking in golden hour light.

This shot is a holdover from this past Sunday. I spent a good half hour stalking my quick fire hydrangea as it lay awash in rich golden light and carpenter bees. Despite the abundance of airborne insects doing their pollinating thing it what seemed like fast forward, I couldn’t get a single carpenter bee to […]

Quick fire in the slow sunshine

August 8, 2014 by Greg Molyneux

A late afternoon macro photograph of a newly blooming quick fire hydrangea. The fresh tender white buds are just set to pop with a soft focus settling around the two open flowers.

This one took a bit of investigating. I have a prominent bush in my back yard that blooms in late summer with some beautiful and bug friendly flowers. As I type I’m certain it’s swarming with life. I’ve had my suspicion it was some kind of hydrangea but I was never certain as it seemed […]
