💗My Raspberry Sundae Peony I was beside myself

💗My Raspberry Sundae Peony
I was beside myself with joy when I was able to start my peony garden this year! I only have this one peony plant that produced blooms, the other seven are just baby peony plants, but this one bloomed! Isn't it pretty? It is the 'raspberry sundae' variety and it is just SO soft and pretty. I am in love. Flowers are the happiest things (except when you are SLOWLY working though 80 acres of wildflowers killing weeds one by one 🤪). If I can make some money, I have a spot for thirty or so peony roots to plant this autumn. 🥰

💜Happy Delphiniums! 💜
There is nothing so happy as the colorful blue and purple spires of delphinium. I spent ten minutes just for me hanging out with these gorgeous flowers today. I need a break from life. I needed the sun shining on me. I needed the dreamy bokeh of my 135! Thank you for looking! ...........................................

💙Blue Flax SOOC 💙
I don't always love to edit. These blue flax were shot quickly and I did nothing save to clone out a couple dust spots. I love that when that happens! Blue flax are SO delicate that there is no way you could shoot them in a vase. They must be captured in situ before they fade in a few hours. I just love them so much! They are just starting to bloom in my flower fields! This one is almost spent as it was noon and they usually wilt and fade by then.

Sometimes, the leaves win out! I wanted to shoot these lilacs, but they were not as pretty as I wanted them to be. Then, I found my favorite leaf look--backlit veining! This little leaf popped out to me and I knew I had the shot I wanted. See stories for BTS video!

Here is a ray of sunshine and a pretty pink dahlia for your Sunday! Dahlias are a close second to peonies in my mind. 💗 Ok, it is actually a 3200 kelvin light, but you get the idea. 😂 This was shot at the same time as the previous post. 🌸 #provenwinners #litbylume #relaxwithmacro #creativephotographynetwork #thesaltedcollective #sonyalpha #sonymacro #sonycolors #sonyautumnleaves
