Faded Glory

The Peony's have been like super models this year... glorious, extravagant and worthy of a daily visit to enjoy their extreme beauty. Of course all things fade and these little beauties last only days - worth every moment though...
I bought these as bulbs from Chelsea a few years ago and have enjoyed watching them grow and flower.
I took this at a really hi ISO to give them a grainy antique feel... am pleased with the result and the slight dark feel they have.
