My favorite dreamy images are those taken at daybreak, when mist is rising in the meadow at Crescent Creek…
…and the sun is reflecting through mist on Crescent Lake, as my sister, brother-in-law, Jello and I head out for a morning of Kokanee trout fishing. 
In the afternoon, Jello enjoys romping by the creek and rolling in cool shady grass. This time, she drifted off into beagle dreamland! 
Dusk also creates dreamy light, as in this photo taken from the back porch of my cabin at Crescent Creek. Such a lovely spot, with etherial light. 
Native to southern and eastern Asia, and North and South America, hydrangea flowers are carried in bunches at the ends of woody, then green stems. Careful pruning is essential to maintain an abundant future crop of mopheads!
Most cultivated hydrangea west of the Mississippi River (USA) are sterile, thus not helpful to pollinators. However, they are beautiful in the gardens, and I compensate with many other flowers to attract and satisfy bees and butterflies. 
Here are some close-ups of the tiny anthers and pistol of a fertile hydrangea flower, surrounded in the lush color of the whole blossom.
