Adding the Sound of Rain to Hydrangeas | Photography

Hydrangea season. I went to Shukkeien Garden while a light rain was still lingering.
Many of them were still just starting to bloom, so they looked a bit sparse from a distance.
However, since I use a macro lens for close-ups, I often capture their fresh, youthful appearance during this time.
As they continue to bloom, they inevitably start to show spots or have withered edges, and you can tell they are getting a bit tired...

With a total of 65 photos, which is quite a lot, I have added serial numbers again this year. If you leave a comment saying something like 'I like number XX,' I will register those in the 'Minna no Photo Gallery.' It's just too many to post all of them... If you have any requests, please let me know (^^)/ Regardless of whether you use them or not. (I think it would be difficult to find the specific image you're looking for in the gallery anyway.) Someday, someone is sure to use your favorite as their title image (◍•ᴗ•◍)✧*。

For the BGM, after much deliberation, I chose Debussy's 'Clair de Lune' performed as a harp solo. The piano is often compared to the sound of rain, but that is likely the sound of rain hitting hard surfaces like roofs or metal; I feel the sound of droplets falling onto leaves or water surfaces is closer to the harp.
Even so, the way the arms and hands move so gracefully, as if they were separate living creatures, makes it hard to move past the video, which is the only downside (^^ゞ It's a different kind of art from ballet, where the movement itself is the beauty, but I love the functional beauty of arms and hands doing something with complete focus.
Since the high notes must ring right by the ears, I would love to hear how they resonate. It is said that with a violin, because it is pressed against the collarbone, the performer's own body is used to create the resonance. Perhaps it is the same for the harp?

(Ever since I saw the exhibition from the Musée des Beaux-Arts de Quimper the other day, I've been in a Séverac mood, but many of his pieces contain a childlike, mischievous, and cheerful sound. 'Prayer to Schumann' and 'Chopin's Fountain' remained as final candidates.)
