the other side of the story

for my get pushed challenge issued by Jenny @jlindros " I want you to capture whatever you want. But I want your focus to be hope, joy, love, comfort, etc.. Whatever helps you to escape." I am joyful when the peonies open every year and they are putting on a great show this year! the light coming through these was spectacular.

These really do look joyful. Love the sunlight on them. They make my tight little buds look pretty desperate!

Lovely shot! Mine just started opening yesterday and I took some shots today. I have some in the house and the smell is intoxicating. Wish they bloomed a bit longer.
