This afternoon I shot this lovely peony on my front porch in 92 degree weather. We are currently having a mini heatwave. I waited for the most optimal lighting conditions, took a number of shots, and cooled off in my air conditioned house lol. This image is my contribution to Foofy Friday - Kindly Enjoy!!!! Wishing everyone at Caedes a Great Weekend!!!!!!!

This turned out great! I like the two color backdrop, it's a good element, the peony is in peak condition. I hope you have a good weekend, been in the 80's here, and a cool down is near. tigs=^..^=

Simple and effective. Weather starting to cool in Sydney - expecting 59F min and 70F max this weekend.

You did get a very good shot in spite of the harsh sunlight Laura. Good details and color tones on the peony.

I envy you, Laura (☺) because I'll have patience for at least one week to see the peonies in my garden flowering. But enjoying your wonderful Foofy Friday image with very subtle tones makes waiting for me very easy.
Thanks for this floral splendor,my friend!

I too like the background Laura - the pink peony looks great against it.

You did a wonderful job with the background and the flower itself which is stunning to say the least! I very nice crisp focus with beautiful lighting all around. Faved.
