This park seems to have Hydrangea only around the artificial waterfall. But they vary in colors and kinds. This is white.

And, this is pink.

I think photographing Hydrangea is a bit different from the other flowers. It's kinda... framing only a flower is not enough for beautiful image. Then, I happened to shoot Hydrangea from its bottom, which gave me a new impression. Definitely, the control of light is the true basis of photography.

Just next to the Hydrangea grows Spiraea japonica. This flower looked faint and beautiful to me.
