Color and beauty!
My favorite flower is the peony. It’s amazing how the flower starts out as a solid bloom-like shape and gradually opens up. Peonies bloom in a variety of colors. Here we have pink and coral. Each color carries a specific symbolism: pink is a classic for romance, love, beauty, and femininity, and coral adds warmth, energy, and a touch of tropical flair.
I was walking in Paris and came upon this flower shop and some of the flowers for sale were outside. I took the photo!
Happy Valentine’s Day!

FIAT 500 CLUB MUSEUM I have always enjoyed photographing the beloved “Cinquecento,” the Fiat 500, all across Italy and other countries. In August 2025 I had the privilege of receiving a tour of the 500 Club Italia Museum in Garlenda. The museum was founded in 1984 to preserve and promote the culture (and adoration) of the Fiat 500. The Museum had selected one of my photos of a Fiat 500 to be added to their permanent collection, and in December 2025 I returned to Garlenda to make the official presentation of the work.
