Hopefully, this garden abstract of my first Peony, "Bowl of Beauty" captures all the beauty and warmth of a summer garden.

Hello Everyone,

This peony scene were one of a bizillion pictures I took of these flowers in 2020 as it was one of those years that peonies did really well. For Slider's Sunday, I applied an abstract filter and made colour adjustments in Topaz Studio. I just wish there was a way to add the scent of them which was just heavenly. Happy Sliders Sunday! HSS!

Thanks a million for stopping by and for leaving me a comment! Have an amazing day!

Sliders Sunday is here, so I took the peony to Topaz Studio for editing. I can't tell you what I did, but I certainly had fun! HSS!

Thank you for taking the time to view this image and for leaving me a comment! Have a great day!

I have a real penchant for both peonies and expressionism, so I put them together for this week's slider. I hope you enjoy! HSS!

Edited with colour manipulation and expressionism filter in Topaz Studio.

I enjoyed the subtle colours of this peony which I found at a local park. I love peony season!

Due to the amount of awards and comments, I can't thank everyone individually, so I'm doing it here.

Thanks for stopping by my gallery. I’m very pleased and really appreciate each and every view of my photo, comments, invitations and awards.

Hello everyone,

Yellow peonies aren't commonly grown, but I hope they become more mainstream because I think the fresh yellow colour is quite pretty. I snapped this at a local park a few days ago.

Thanks a million for stopping by and for leaving me a comment. I do love hearing from you!

Have a marvelous day!

So happy to find this @the Home Depot, which is related to my real name, as some of you know it.

I plan to make a flower bed this year. So, there you see it. :-)))

This was shot in a previous Peony season as right now they are just poking out of the ground.

I used to have 4 plants of peony in the garden. This was one of them. which needed a lot of sunshine. After a while, they reduced the blooms, cause my neighbor's 4 white pine trees kinda blocked the sunshine from them. I was lucky to capture a bee in it. Ants love them.

Note; For my name's sake!
