Hostas!

It has been fun to watch the Hostas come out of the ground this year.  It happens every year, of course, it's just that I haven really noticed all that has happened.  Thesa are such astounding leaves as they come out of the ground as small tubular shapes and then as the plant grows, they unroll.  Look at all these beautiful shapes all within the frame.  Please be sure and click on this, because it is stunning when seen with more detail.

It was interesting to see this pointed little purple spikes emerging.  Interesting, but not beautiful, I thought.

Looking for something beautiful I moved in with my closeup lens and the detail is interesting but not beautiful, really.

So the two previous photographs were taken on March 29.  And then today we have this! These Hosta leaves are quite different and simply beautiful!  This is the wide-angle photograph of the whole plant, and then the lead-off photograph was a close-up from directly overhead.
