Peonies

This is a bonus shot: red peonie and white one, too. Aren't they beautiful. This is in a neighbor's garden. The grandbaby and I stopped on our trip to the garden and took a pictures. We got to see her feed the chickens and the goldfish.

Look at this; this is lovely, sort of off-white, almost yellow. Wonderful.

I think close-up photography of flowers is delicious. So sensual and the shapes are evocative of lacy fabric, folds of sheer viole. So beautiful and feminine.
