Yes, another one. There are all sorts of pretty colors on the path where I walk.

I had no idea that there were so many varieties of Iris until I visited the Calgary Zoo's gardens.

Loved how saturated and dark they look. Made me think of stained-glass, or oil paintings.

Iris against green background

July 14, 2015. This is the iris in the front yard garden. No, this is not shot with flash at night, rather, trhe iris is in bright sunlight, which makes the background dark by comparison.
