My new camera has arrived, not sure I like the case as much as the old, not so robust but the package that allows you to view your photos allows you to load into Flickr directly - nice

A lovely blue unknown iris hybrid that I obtained from a friend. Iris Family, Iridaceae, My yard, 6583June 21, 2011
My side yard is a little patch of dirt and weeds with a broken gate, a broken lawn mower, a broken weed eater, and, inexplicably, a dozen sick-looking irises. I wasn't sure that any of them would even bloom, but today there was this. I hope I did the flower, and the long-ago person who planted it, justice.
I had to crop this to get what I was after as this particular flower was in the middle of a public garden and I couldn't get close enough to it.
