Iris Flowers
View allAll Photos Tagged iris
Back-lit, late sunny afternoon shot, reflector used. I kept my portrait lens wide-open and, secondly, sprayed the bush behind with water. All these conditions together produced the beautiful bokeh. Words are not enough to describe the beauty of the Iris. Processed in Luminar and macOS High Sierra photo editor.
The Iris has something mysterious about it. In her color palette she has colors that other flowers do not carry. And something magical. She is named after the goddess of the rainbow
Paintings of the flower can be found in the Egyptian pyramids, which scientists believe date back to 1500 BC. Even after that, the iris had a glorious life. She decorated the coats of arms of Louis XVIII (to protect against death) and was a regular model for the painter Vincent van Gogh. Irises belong to the Iris family (Idraceae)

PS: My granddaughter, Iris's birthday is coming up, so that you'd see me post more iris's photos. Each year, I take more than 500 shots of irises, all different, believe it or not. There are 1,000 variety of irises at such, however, you need to go at the different interval to capture them, as they don't bloom at the same time. It's not far from me, so, I'm delighted to visit there as many time as my heart contents. :-))
Blooming in my Lake Tahoe garden today.
Happy Macro Monday! Thanks for stopping by and for all of your kind comments, awards and faves -- I appreciate them all.

ALL IMAGES ARE BEST seen On Black, yours too....
Sacre bleu is an old French profanity, meant as a cry of surprise or anger.
I don't talk to flowers, they talk to me and I gladly listen, with my eyes!
A beautiful Blue Iris, just awakening and unfurling and being hit by light!!! Sacrebleu, it SCREAMED!!!
Irises can be very showy.
Hope this makes you smile again, have a good day and thank you for your visit, so very much appreciated, Magda, (*_*)
