New York Monday #123: Flowers for You!

May 18, 2008 | Filed Under New York Monday 

 

 

While walking up Fifth Avenue, these beautiful flowers caught my eye.  Made me stop and pull out my camera to take pictures, while a doorman closely watched me from the doorway of a nearby apartment building.  Afterwards, he joked with me and told me that I had to pay him for taking photos there. 

"How about I pay you with a nice smile and a good morning greeting?" I asked him.

He agreed to my suggestion. 

Happy Monday!   Have a great week!

Paz

    Hi. I love hydrangeas, too. The color is achieved by how much aluminum is in the soil. If you Google “hydrangea color,” a couple of websites on that topic will pop up.
