Me, too...and blue is hard to capture on film.; June 4, 2008 10:27 AM
Gail said...: Dave,

Thanks, now if only I could do that all the time! I tried with some yellow flowers and they just wash out and the stamens disappear!; June 4, 2008 10:28 AM
Gail said...: Tina,

It is a sweet little iris...I found him growing in the grass when I moved here.; June 4, 2008 10:28 AM
Gail said...: Joy,

Both are beautiful...I got a Yellow Star Grass that is native to Cedar Glades that is a little cutie pie. I do love them...when I moved into this house they were growing wild in the grass! I still find little babies there from time to time.; June 4, 2008 10:50 AM
Gail said...: Frances,

We knew we had good taste! I wish I could be consistent with photos sometime they work out and sometimes they don't. No muscle memory has developed! Have fun.....; June 4, 2008 10:52 AM

"i thank you God for most this amazing day:
for the leaping greenly spirit of trees
and a blue true dream of sky;
and for everything which is natural
which is infinite
which is yes
"(i who have died am alive again today,
and this is the sun's birthday; this is the birth day of life and of love and wings: and of the gay great happening illimitably earth)
"how should tasting touching hearing seeing breathing any - lifted from the no of all nothing - human merely being doubt unimaginable You?
"(now the ears of my ears awake and now the eyes of my eyes are opened)" -- e.e. cummings (1894-1963)
