Peonies are one of my absolute favourite perennials.  They don’t last long in the garden, but they sure make quite an appearance when they are there.  They make great arrangements as well.  I “borrowered” these from my mother in laws garden (which once upon a time was my garden, and these were planted by me – back when I had time to garden) for a mini session with my daughter.  Since I had them I figured I would try out a few still life photos as well.  When I first started my journey as a photographer, this was my subject of choice (as they didn’t move around quite as much as my two active children).  I am considering adding stilllife as well a Newfoundland scenery to my website for anyone interesteding in adding such a piece to their home.  I am ordering this on canvas for myself today!
