Summer Solstice begins this evening in the Northern Hemisphere. My husband, the photographer, took this macro of a peony, a Festiva Maxima, one of the older varieties. He's printed it very large, matted and framed it. It's an imposing piece of art and I'm not sure my blog does it justice. If you have a Mac or Ipad, the version is crisp and the colors soft but beautiful.

Thank you Ruth. High praise from you who also takes beautiful photos and writes such lovely introspective verse.
Hi Bill, sorry I've taken so long to respond. I think it looks like an abstract as well. He is a fine art photographer and he's always looking for new ways of expression. My first thought was it looked like a drop of pink ink in milky water. Another commentor, on his Flickr site, said it looks like a ballerina dress. His art site is in the post if you'd like to see his many different styles.
Peonies are so photogenic. This is unusual with its white and magenta, just gorgeous. I do admire your husband's work very much.
It looks like an abstract painting. Has he been doing art type photos for a long time? My photography knowledge is limited so did that question make sense?
Glad you have a Mac. My HP doesn't do it justice.
Thanks for that Brian. He is growing as an artist every day. I know you know how that feels but it's nicer when people say so.
your husband is an incredible artist...love the pic...it is like a painted work of art....lovely
It's very beautiful, I'm looking at it on my Mac. First day of summer is here!
