Peony reflection, focus stacked.

It's that wonderful time of the year when the Peonies bloom for a short period of time. I have nurtured several clumps of pink peonies and the blooms seem to get bigger every year. They only last a week, but oh, the beauty when they bloom (after you shake off the ants and earwigs from the petals ) I've got a few other images to finish working on but I liked this one. I put it on a piece of black plexiglass to get the reflection.

Beautiful!! I love peonies, and the pink ones are my favorites. I used to have several bushes of them at my old house, and it seemed like as soon as they bloomed, it would rain and they'd be ruined. And you're right about the bugs. Ugh!

How did I miss this? Such a pretty color! It looks like it was really warm out - too warm for ants? lol
