irises

June 16

maybe you’re thinking i’ve flipped and become a photo blogger. not really.

i’m just a little crazy when it comes to taking pictures of my flowers. and this year instead of snapping the blooms, I decided to capture them unopened.

you can’t tell in the photos, but these irises were in pots ready for transplanting to our new home. i was thrilled that they were blooming at all and yet there were more elegant blooms than ever.

they now have a happy home under my weeping mulberry tree, awaiting the quiet winter to bloom again another year.

ps. you can see the photos better on Picasa’s site. just click any of them and you’ll be there in two shakes.

    • "Love anything and your heart will be wrung and possibly broken. If you want to make sure of keeping it intact you must give it to no one, not even an animal. Wrap it carefully round with hobbies and little luxuries; avoid all entanglements. Lock it up safe in the casket or coffin of your selfishness. But in that casket, safe, dark, motionless, airless, it will change. It will not be broken; it will become unbreakable, impenetrable, irredeemable. To love is to be vulnerable." — C.S. Lewis
