Still life photography in the cool of the evening...

I hoped to take some still life shots today.
After not getting home 'til late this evening, I hastily grabbed a kitchen towel, a Pellegrino bottle, 
clipped a hydrangea from the bush in our yard and went out on our back patio with my camera
 as the sun was low in the sky.

The light was actually perfect.
The temperature was mild and pleasant, too, after a hot day.

    1. The fact that so late in the day the light was perfect was a pleasant discovery.

    1. Using anything other than a real vase as a vase is "how I roll"!
