Your Sunday Best

What remains of a Peony, reaching for the sun!!

I love this image, I'm not sure why.
Perhaps it is the delicate, heart shaped pedals
and the soft shadows cast by the sun.

I adore the color, even though it is not purple!!

It's out of focus but there is something about it that I love...
maybe it's the fact that it just isn't perfect!!

Sharing today with Nancy at A Rural Journal
Your Sunday Best

    I think the focus on the center is lovely!
    The pink is very vibrant shining in the sunlight.

    I think it is lovely. I adore how one petal on the right seems to pointing a finger toward the sun. Thanks for your comments over at Living Life. I hope you try the pasta dish, it was yummy. Hugs, Bonnie

    Nothing is perfect -- in my opinion... imperfections are much more interesting! Beautiful pink and yellow combination! :)
