30 mins between work and picking up kids .... lunch or photo of the day? lunch or photo of the day? - Photo of the day wins! Learned some editing too. If possible, please view on black.

Huge thanks for all your comments and favs on the peony! I absolutely love them and I was glad to be able to capture all of that gentle fragrant luxuriousness in one frame!

Bob - thanks, that's exactly the feeling I was going for!

Gena and Mary - I sooo much agree... When I was thinking about the title, the idea of climbing in and just getting lost in it was in my mind!

I am glad you all enjoyed it!
