Photo of the day: "Hydrangeas"

Although common, heavily laden, snowball bushes

aren't my favorite, they remind me of a great scene

in my favorite movie It's a Wonderful Life:

George: Mary... [picks up Mary's robe lying on the ground] Okay, I give up. Where are you?
Mary: Over here in the hydrangea bushes.
George: Here you are. Catch. [He is about to throw her the robe, but reconsiders mischievously] Wait a minute. What am I doing? This is a very interesting situation.
Mary: Please give me my robe.
George: Hmmm...A man doesn't get in a situation like this every day.
Mary: [Getting annoyed] I'd like to have my robe.
George: Not in Bedford Falls, anyway.
Mary: [thrashing around in the bushes, sneezes] Ouch!
George: Gesundheit. This requires a little thought here.
Mary: George Bailey! Give me my robe!
George: I've heard about things like this, but I've never...
Mary: Shame on you. I'm going to tell your mother on you.
George: Oh, my mother's way up the corner there.
Mary: I'll call the police!
George: They're way downtown. They'd be on my side, too.
