This beautiful pitcher was given to me by Emily, my son Jon-Michael’s girlfriend. It was such a sweet thoughtful thing for her to do. She knew I was trying to pull the blue accents on my ledge down into the family room, saw this vase, bought it, and gave it to me as a gift.
My peonies are in full bloom and this seemed the perfect place to display them. Perfect timing on Emily’s part. As soon as I saw it, I envisioned beautiful flowers spilling out of it.
I am a flower lover. Each spring I am so elated as my flowers begin to bloom. They bloom in waves, ever changing color waves, throughout the spring, summer and into fall. I try to capture their beauty through my photography and especially love the pictures taken right after or sometimes, during a rain shower.
Peonies are one of my favorite flowers! I also love to photograph the always changing blooms surrounding me. Flowers add so much cheer. And your new pitcher was such a thoughtful gift!
It’s funny to think that I keep taking pictures of the same flowers. Laughing to myself one day, I thought, how many ways can you take a picture of this rose? Then I pull those pictures up on the computer and as I go through them, there is one that absolutely takes my breath away!
Don’t you love the little beads of rain on them?
My boys have both chosen young women who are thoughtful, kind and very creative. I am blessed.
Positively priceless!!
How beautiful! And what a sweet gift!
The peony blooms here in my garden in Kentucky seem to be more plentiful and absolutely gorgeous this year. Like so many other flowers, their bloom time is not long enough!
It was an unexpected sweet gift from a very sweet person!
Beautiful and so thoughtful of her!
Lovely! I share your enthusiasm for the fresh flowers of the seasons. Peonies are a real favorite of mine.
