Raindrops on peonies

"A profusion of pink roses bending in the rain speaks to me of all gentleness and its enduring."
~ William Carlos Williams
Today I am linking up with
for the first-ever Friday photo challenge.
The theme for today is pink.
A "Sarah Bernhart" peony,
wet with the remains of a spring shower
brings to life
notions of fragile beauty,
elusive moments,
and the steady passage of time.
Wishing you a blissful weekend.
Until next time...
Anne

What a wonderful Peony. They may be my absolute favorite flower.

This is a very beautiful plump pink beauty, and you even captured the droplets of water! Delightful!
