大阪引っ越後、ようやくインターネット接続完了となりました。

Finally a photo that I like.

I think I have at least 2000 photo's to sort and edit, if not more. It sucks and it is stressful, but I am trying to work as fast as I can ...

Iris.

Bearded Iris from Chuck's garden

Iris in desaturazione selettiva

Bellissinado

Point Defiance in Tacoma

These irises bloom behind my mother's home and belonged to my great grandmother. Many women in my family have bulbs from these mangificent flowers

Iris flower. Natural light. Focus stacked using zerene. Oshiro 60mm. See www.flickr.com/photos/lordv/28399607159/ for a 3D version

difficult to get the light reading right when the top is so much lighter than the lower petals

Iris at Point Defiance Park

Early evening bright sunshine - excellent :)

あやめ

Iris's in my front yard

La mitologia greca ha chiamato Iride, la messaggera degli Dei, e cioè la divinità che, servendosi dell'arcobaleno come passaggio, consentiva il "dialogo" tra Olimpo

e Terra. Il fiore dell'iris fu così chiamato perché la molteplicità dei suoi colori ricordava, per l'appunto,

i colori dell'arcobaleno. Il significato associato a questo fiore è messaggio di buona novella.

Non puoi cogliere un fiore

senza disturbare una stella.
