Photo Challenge: Waiting

Waiting – we have long winters in Wisconsin, and spring is slow to grow, after it arrives.   This is good time, and it is good to rest and wait.  To be outside more now – late summer here – and leave some tasks for the long winter.

For Opposites – the contrast of falling peony petals and summer green leaves in one photo.

The peonies are so lovely this year.  I created a special gallery page on this site, from spring to summer.
