Pink – Peony & Cupcake
Following on from a previous post, I also just happened to have a pink cupcake in my possession, so I decided to photograph it alongside my pink peony. The whorls of the frosting look a bit like a flower to me. I love the colour, and oh yes it was delicious! x desleyjane

Happy New Year! I took these photos of a very pretty pink peony late last year. It was while my Mum was still staying with me after surgery. My friend Tess (who also takes care of Gidget for me when I travel) visited and gave me a little bunch of peonies – she remembered that…
