End of the Season colors

For some reason, I hear Elton John singing "Tiny Dancer" when I look at this.....
I love the end of the season coloring on these hydrangeas. They are a lovely soft lavender during the summer, and turn these delicious colors in the fall.

Couldn't resist this guy. Do you think this is where the fashion term 'wasp-waisted' came from?

I love the colors on hydrangea in the fall, and I miss them in my new garden. I adore that first image, it looks like they're reaching for the sky.
