Another shot from last week of our peonies. When I looked today, most of the flowers were wilted and done (but we did cut some for inside).
"I am the true vine, and my Father is the gardener. He cuts off every branch in me that bears no fruit, while every branch that does bear fruit he prunes so that it will be even more fruitful."John 15:1-2
I hope that I can become a better photographer with the examples here on Am3 and by getting your feedback on my images.
I may not be able to reply to each of your comments - but they mean a lot to me and I thank you!

Super image and great detail. I like the soft focus around the edge.

They don't last very long, but oh, you did a wonderful job capturing the baby in front of the mother. A sweet shot with a wonderful fragrance, I'm sure.
