Iris Undressing ~ Canon 30d

After a client meeting in Northeast DC yesterday afternoon, I took advantage of my close proximity to the Franciscan Monastery and the incredible weather to capture some images of the flowers. With statues of St. Francis and a mosaic of the Virgin of Guadeloupe looking on, I carried on conversations with iris in various stages of dress, undress, and blossom. No one has to explain to me the reasons why St. Francis spoke to the flowers ~ they're always the ones initiating the conversations.

Oh, I love Irises. I hadn't thought too much about them in their state of undress. Now I will!

I was thrilled when my daughter had irises for her wedding flowers.

I've been doing a series of quilted pictures, using several techniques, most of which are on my blog in April, 2008 posts. Now I have them displayed in my house with a photo by Deborah Susex on the wall behind them.
