I adore that first image...contemplation...a story! And I miss peonies, I haven't seen them in Texas anywhere. They remind me of my childhood in Indiana - I remember watching the ants crawl all over them.
I love peonies. We have a farm nearby that I plan to visit. Your capture of the Amish woman is lovely. I know they don't like to be photographed, or so I was told.
ooooh peonies-one of my faves. My peony is showing lots of buds in the back yard. thank you for this little preview. And I'm an expert at staring so I guess my life isn't a shame.
The top image is just perfect. It feels timeless and yet somehow beautifully old fashioned.
I wonder if you know that you have your blog set to 16x9 screen width and so some of your blog is cut off at the side for anyone who runs a lower resolution then this they get part of your blog cut off at the side. I suspect it is the theme or your custom header. Hope you don;t mind me saying just trying to be helpful.
Beautiful shots. I love the first one with the amish (or maybe Mennonite?) girl. Something very pure &innocent about that shot. We were at a local arboretum last weekend and I saw the bulbs for Peonie's about to bloom but they weren't out yet- they are such gorgeous flowers! I love them!
lovely photo, she seems lost in thought for certain. We just planted peonies in the bird garden! Thank you for linking to the Thursday Favorite Things Hop. I appreciate your bloggy friendship xo
Fabulous macro floral shots. It is just amazing the detail you are able to capture. It is like the bloom is calling you to come closer. Beautiful photography. genie
