Pretty in Pink

On this rainy and chilly day, I decided to revisit some of my peony photos taken from my garden last year. My vision for this image was to give this peony that reminded me of a graceful ballerina a painterly background in which to dance. My love of growing and photographing peonies was originally inspired by my neighbor who is celebrating his 82nd birthday today. He grows the most beautiful peonies and gave me my very first peony plant which was my springboard into growing and photographing them. Where do you get your inspiration from?
