In the confines of Saint-Paul, Vincent VanGogh worked in the men's garden. Since his last depression attack in Arles, Vincent did not feel like painting but soon he began again in the spring with the irises. From his letters, "I am able to paint at last - I am at peace here, as I was at the hospital at Arles" Oh Vinny, my heart goes out to you. And yet he always had sunny yellow in his paintings. He strove for that light to illuminate his life but so often the dark came to him. I painted my own walls in yellow throughout my house in remembrance of him.
I get my wife a bouquet every week (maybe longer, if they last ;) ) Keeps her happy and gives me subjects for my photos :) A win-win situation :)
Just a walk around my yard It has been over 20 years since I got my first iris from Schreiner's Garden.
Captured in high contrast monochrome, the petals of a flower exhibit a dramatic curve and texture that evoke a sense of motion. The dark and light tones enhance the intricate details of the petals and their delicate, almost sculptural, form. This is a close-up of an iris. Sony a6400

The Iris takes its name from the Greek word for a rainbow, which is also the name for the Greek goddess of the rainbow, Iris.
Dedicated to Matthew Bowers.
16/9/1969 - 9/4/1997
Matthew was a beautiful young man who died nine years ago today.
he was the treasured son of my cousin Helen and her husband Peter .
This bloomed outside "Arco Iris" (the house in Spain where Matt is remembered) right on cue. We didn't even know it was growing there.
I saw a bush full of these irises as I was taking a walk yesterday evening around sunset. I thought to just bring the camera along as I took my walk. I am glad to have taken that decision to do so. I captured many blooms along the journey. People seem to be quite fond of the irises here. I even captured yellow bearded irises. I am learning to take my camera everywhere with me because I just never know the one rare moment to be snapped and saved. Though others will say that everything does not need to be snapped, but for the love, I capture because you can look back and remember the day.
