These flowers are simply amazing. so well structured and looking stunning from every angle.

This is the result of my practising with a very old 90mm, f2.5 manual Tamron macro.

Hope this lifts your mood on a Monday!

The light passes through the delicate pale wisp of a petal revealing its impeccably fine details.

Purple Iris have been my favorite flower for a long time. I can't enough of the cool delicate petals and the intense scent. These ruffly petals and the two-tones had me enchanted and dawdling when I was supposed to be talking a brisk walk.

The bearded iris were starting to really go nuts in Eureka Springs the week we were there. I didn't get to photograph as many as I would have liked, darnit!

I thought this iris's bright, light color fit perfectly for a Sunday morning post . . .

The irises in our yard are at their peak. Has been pretty warm and humid for the past few days. Hopefully it will cool down a bit so we can enjoy them for a bit longer.
