"The grass he walked through was new and a sweet smell clung to his clothes. There was blue dye on his hands from the wild irises... that the color of the sky was a shade that could never be replicated in any photograph, just as Heaven could never be seen from the confines of Earth."
~ Alice Hoffman
Sometimes, at the end of the day, you've taken over 100 pictures and nothing works. And then, there's a new flower blooming in the garden and that's the shot that works out. Thank goodness for pretty flowers! (Actually, thank goodness for pretty perennials that come up and pretty much take care of themselves!)
Irises always make me think of Georgia O'Keefe... talk about bee porn!
