My neighbor invited me over to photograph some of her Japanese Peonies in her wonderful flower garden. I don't think she realized I would be there for hours.

Thanks for looking and C&C Welcomed.

John: Just terrific. With subjects like this I can see why you loitered and lingered. Beautiful shot of a flower I find difficult to shoot. 2 thumbs up. >=))>

LOL, the same thing happened to me the other day when I found some gorgeous mushrooms in my neighbors yard. This is so pretty and delicate, a fine close-up portrait of the peony that reveals its enchantment.

Hi John, sweet capture. I like the folds and curves of the blossoms leading into the peek inside. Nice DOF.

Great contrast between the shapness of the center and the softness of the outside! Beautiful picture!
