Beautiful peonies! So you’re a gifted photographer too! We had large bushes of these blooming beauties where I grew up. We lived in a small two-bedroom cottage on a short street with only eight houses — also small cottages — and every spring the peonies and iris defined our neighborhood. Front yards and back. It’s a lovely place to go this morning for a memory visit — back to childhood fragrances.
Will you now paint a peony?

I should give painting it a try, with Painter. I took some courses in that but I’m not very good (lack of practice). I just happened to see these beauties yesterday in the alley right next to my garage. It’s very overgrown there and last year I struggled to clear out enough of debris so I’d be able to mow it. I don’t think I could get the mower past the flowers though so I guess I’ll have to weed whip instead. They are a gorgeous flower aren’t they? 😉
I would love to see larger examples of thos peony photos. Gorgeous pictures Anita. Well done!
Thank you!
I’ve only loaded one full size up (well, not full size, that would have been huge), it’s at 3DCommune: http://tinyurl.com/5xrh3g I might load them later because those little ones don’t do justice 😉
