A Photo a Week Challenge: ANYTHING

Posted on June 20, 2020 by johnvic8

Nancy Merrill’s photo challenge topic is “ANYTHING.” That certainly gives plenty of room to consider. As a long time gardener and lover of beautiful flowers, I decided to share a photo of one of my favorites.

This is a pink tree peony. I don’t know its name, but it really doesn’t need a name. It looks almost unreal. Remember when we were kids, we made flowers out of crepe paper? Nothing could match this.

Let me suggest that you visit Nancy’s blog at https://nadiamerrillphotography.wordpress.com/2020/06/18/a-photo-a-week-challenge-anything/. There should be a lot of other bloggers there sharing their photos of “anything.”

    This is a lovely peony, John! You’re right about it resembling a tissue paper flower!
