Back of a peony.

This week the topic is Back of Things. Looking at the back of things can lead to interesting photos. Let’s see how creative you can get with this topic. I’m looking forward to what you all decide to post. I just want you to have some fun with your photography.

Feel free to dig around in your archives for photos if you don’t have anything new you can photograph.

Pets

This challenge accepts the following types of photography:
