I tip-toe downstairs every morning around 6 o'clock so that I can capture a quiet moment before my little ones wake up.
I take this time to enjoy my favorite time of the day . . . morning.
I often open the door to our patio to let in the cool morning air . . . and listen to the birds.
This is when I plan my day, reflect, and often pray.
I don't usually take photos in the morning, but my peonies looked as if they were glowing . . . and I couldn't resist snapping a few photos of them in the early morning light.
They're truly an incredibly feminine and beautiful flower.
Your peonies are so beautiful and huge!!!
ReplyDeleteIt sounds so peaceful to get up early and go out the patio and have a few moments alone. Especially with such beautiful flowers! Enjoy! :)
ReplyDeleteI LOVE peonies. Your photos are gorgeous.
ReplyDeleteSIGH! Ethereal!
ReplyDeleteSo nice to be able to have that time to yourself. Your peonies are beautiful!
ReplyDeleteThat half hour before the kids get up is essential! That and the half hour after bedtime are the only still moments in my day. Your flowers are beautiful, I bet they smell amazing!

I tiptoe down very early too !!! ( and I'm an empty nester - but always did it when the kids were home ) there's something very special about being alone watching the world wake up - like a precious secret !
ReplyDeleteYour peonies are gorgeous - mine haven't blossomed yet - can't wait
XOXO
Suzanne,
ReplyDeleteI, too, am an early riser!
The best part of day begins with coffee, birds chirpping and God's Word.

Your peonies are gorgeous in the early morning light!
ReplyDeleteYou have captured the beauty of peonies with your creative eye. Lovely photos indeed. I tried to transplant some a few years ago and I had not idea the depth the root system went. It was not an easy or quick task. But once they bloomed the following year, I forgot all about that as they won me over with their charm. Visiting via "FlusterBuster" linkup
ReplyDeleteAbsolutely gorgeous!
ReplyDeleteMy peonies are budding, cannot WAIT for them to bloom too!
Oh, they're beautiful!! Peonies are one of my 2 favorite flowers (hydrangeas being the other). Yours are stunning.
ReplyDeleteBlessings on your day,
Patti
