Pink water lily

I find these colors soothing. Another waterlily picture taken at Como Park. 

Peony

I love peonies. I grow them but mine are white and red. I found this one in the gardens at Como Park. 

Pink Peonies

I managed to photograph some peonies during Sunday’s 20+ MPH winds by using a faster shutter speed. The flowers are a favorite of mine. My mom and my grandmother grew them and I grow them too. As a small child, I used to see ants crawls in the blossoms and on the buds and I believed that ants came from the flowers.

Flowering crab

I take these shots every year and it is hard to know when to stop. Pink flowers always look so amazing to me after a long cold winter. Flowers if any type are fun to photograph.
