Getting the Shot......

 My wife joined me this morning taking a shot of the clouds in the sky. I accidently captured her capture too. 

Historic Iris....

 

Crane.....

 

On a Pedestal....

 

Unfolding....

 

My cemetery iris finally bloomed.  It was the last to unfold and show off its contrasting bright colors. Another blogger shared this variety of older iris and gave it a name of historic iris. I like that title as this variety grows freely in older cemeteries in rural areas.

 A abstract composition is created with the neighbor's fence shadow causing a line design in the scene. The rose is named "William Baffin", one that I first bought during a visit in Minnesota. A rose that survives in that area had to be a good one for my planting zone. My new fence with gate gives the rose more protection from the weather.
