January 19: Day 12

Today's photo was taken three steps from my front door. This poor hydrangea has been chewed on by the deer lately so I hope it still looks as beautiful this summer as it usually does! I started out in Aperture Priority and switched to Manual and liked my results in Manual much better. Then I used one of my favorite actions from Coffee Shop called Vintage Honey. For some reason this picture screams "winter" to me even with all the green grass in the background. Maybe I'm just nuts. Or maybe I just need to get out and prune my hydrangeas!
