Peonies!!!!

I suppose this post is mostly for my mom, but the peonies are starting to bloom here and being that they are my all-time favorite flower, as soon as I saw the first blossoms out in the yard I ran downstairs to grab my camera and I was out the door in a flurry of pollen dust. For anyone who might be curious, these were taken very shortly after the sun went below the horizon but while there was still lingering daylight left.
