Heart of a Blue Iris
Well, my irises had come and gone, but I still have these photos to show you! This was the heart of my blue iris after the rain. I was always fascinated with the "brush-like" looking part of this flower, so it became my subject.
Many flowers either bloomed really early or really late this year, and I have missed most of them. We had so much rain in May and June, and then went under a heat wave in July. Whatever the weather brought, I still found quite a few things to appreciate. How about you?
Joining Watery Wednesday!
Lovely images. The irises are beautiful.
ReplyDeleteIrises make very good photo subjects... I didn't get to shoot mine this year... perhaps next season...
ReplyDeleteWe cannot change the weather, then we change ourselves.
ReplyDeleteVery interesting pictures, Icy...sometimes, with macros, if you didn't tell us what the photo was of, one wouldn't really know. Then, when you give us a hint, it's perfectly clear.
ReplyDeleteso very beautiful, the raindrops has that calming effect.
ReplyDeleteRainfield is right and your photos are intriguing as always!
ReplyDeleteHi,Icy BC.
ReplyDeleteWhat a beautiful blue color this is! Rain makes so wonderful. And I haven't noticed brush-like things.Your lens is fine.
It's very hot here but crepe myrtles are in full bloom now.
Have a fabulous week!

ReplyDeleteIf hadn't told us this was a blue iris, I would have thought it was some sort of sea urchin.
