Peonys in bloom

 The showy white peony in my garden came into bloom June 4th so I filled my camera's memory disk with hundreds of photographs as I know they only stay for such a short time...



They're very O'Keeffe with their curves and waves...


They were so beautiful right up until the heavy rains came last week and left behind something that looked like broken angel wings...I look forward to next year's show...


Their frothy ruffles and lacy wings remind me of the old time Hollywood stars of the silver screen wrapped in chiffon...so of course, they are dramatic posing for their portraits in black and white...
