About Me

My photo
I am usually typing on a computer most of the day, but today I am trying my hand at a new project: My 2011 365-Day Photo Journey. I gained a love for photography when I was required to take a fine arts class for college--I chose photography. The course required a lot of work--Professor Loehr saw to that--but it opened my eyes to a new world. It's been many years since I took that class and I don't know how much I actually remember, but following Laura Delagal's 365 Photo Journey and watching my niece's love for taking pictures has peeked my interested in photography again. Although I don't have a professional camera, I did receive a really nice Sony digital (point-and-shoot) camera from my sweetie for Christmas this year. Going through some difficult times in my life, I thought that undertaking my own 365-day photo journey might be a way to relieve a little stress and have some fun with my new toy. Through this journey I will capture some of life's joy and its pain, but I will also be able to refocus the lens of my life on the many wonderful things that God has created. Well, here goes. Wish me luck!

Day 117 - April 27, 2011

Hydrangia Blossoms

I have had a difficult time growing hydrangias.  They start out looking good, but I have been dealing with what I believe is an over population of slugs--yes, you heard right, slugs.  They have been destroying my hydrangias.  Those slugs literally suck the life out of them.  So far, my hydrangias are looking good and I haven't seen much in the way of slug-life in the yard, but it is still too early to tell.

I remember that my mother used to have some beautiful hydrangia bushes in our hard at home.  I would love to just one year see if my bushes could come close to being as pretty as the one's that she grew.

  1. I love hydrengeas! One of mine didn't survive the winter, I guess it didn't get enough water last summer.. They are soo pretty!! Thankfully so far we didn't have any slug problems.
