   I love the gray backdrop to the Oak Leaf Hydrangea.

     Thanks, Julie, I love that plant in the fall. A spot of color in a gray world.

     Yes, it is. The past couple of days have felt like it – brrr!

   What a wonderful spot of color to set off winter gray – almost like a brilliant scarf to complete a neutral outfit! 🙂

   It’s the last piece of cake on the plate. It’s the last beer in the six pack. It’s the last square of toilet paper on the roll. It’s the last…
   Oh. You said that already. Nice shot Eliza.

     Thanks, Karen. I love to look at the difference 6 months makes. In the heat of July, I think of icy January and visa versa. Keeps things in perspective!

   Wonderful shot. I didn’t know about this feature when I planted mine and was so pleasantly surprised to see the color that first autumn. I LOVE Dor’s comment above about the scarf!

     Thanks, Barbara. It is a stunning fall foliage plant and Dor definitely nailed it with her comment! 🙂

    What a gorgeous photo, Eliza. I love that the hydrangea is still so colorful, and am happy to see you left the perennials standing. Your birds must be very happy! Such beauty, even when it is so ridiculously cold! 😉
    • Eliza Waters says:

      November 21, 2014 at 4:40 am

      Thanks! Those seed heads are so pretty, I find it hard to cut them down. The snow will push them down soon enough!
      • woodlandgnome says:

        November 21, 2014 at 12:36 pm

        They are pretty, and you shot them at a great angle. Enjoy the day 😉

    I have a dwarf one out front + I have never seen such a beautiful red as an oakleaf:-) I wish I had room for one the size you have-beautiful!!! I love the texture within the leaves,too:-) really looks great behind the other perennials:-)
    • Eliza Waters says:

      November 21, 2014 at 4:35 am

      Thanks, Robbie. This one did nothing for literally years and then a few years ago it started growing higher than 18″ – wider and taller. The top gets winter-killed, but manages to grow back over the summer for this glorious finale.
      • Robbie says:

        November 21, 2014 at 4:40 am

        a beauty!:-)

    I like the title of this- “Last Hurrah”- I think so many of us feel that same sense.

      The end of a really great party. Time to go back to the cave for the winter. 😉

    Time for Mother Nature to take a long nap. 😉 Lovely photo Eliza.

    I’m going to post about my top 10 funny movie pics later today, thanks for the inspiration for this post. 🙂

    Have a wonderful week, G

      Thanks, Geraldine. I can’t believe that winter is at the door!
      Movies are great for cold winter nights, I’ll look forward to reading your list. Enjoy your week as well. 🙂
