Peonies

                                                                                     

Nichols Arboretum in Ann Arbor is well known for its peony garden. I've always wanted to see them, but never had the chance until this weekend.

Sam and his fiancée Rhiannon were in town. And Sam knows Ann Arbor well, having lived around the campus for four years. It was the perfect day to visit...sunny, in the seventies. Lovely.

The gardens are free and open to the public. So many people come to visit that they even provide a free shuttle to help with the parking situation. The peonies are still opening, and the prime viewing will be going on until next weekend.

Such a cute couple!

So many varieties of peonies. The fragrance was amazing.

                                        It was the perfect way to wrap up the month of May.
