Peony - the Queen of all Blooms...

Aren't these blooms to die for? It is not easy to catch them at the right moment - I mean sometimes you have other things to do and you cannot go on tour each day to check whether there is anything for the lens. Sometimes the weather is just too ugly at the time when these blooms should appear in their full magnificence and heavy rain means definitely their death sentence. But sometimes you are lucky and you are there at the right place at the right moment...
