I know of pain. I live with cronic pain every day. Some days I am not sure I will make it through the day, but I do. I don't have a choice. So I do. I am happy to stop by and share in your experiences and also the beauty around you. One thing I have found is that the way to deal with the everyday stuff is to get out of myself in the everyday beauty around me. The iris photos are beautiful!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02274892067256359414noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4296284051502496327.post-44055684573273706862012-05-04T09:54:05.215-04:002012-05-04T09:54:05.215-04:00These photos are absolutely breathtaking, you'...These photos are absolutely breathtaking, you're love of the subject is definitely shining through!<br /><br />Best wishes for a quick recovery with your knee :-)MaggieGemhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10956579207914268895noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4296284051502496327.post-26665299724167960222012-05-04T09:03:40.856-04:002012-05-04T09:03:40.856-04:00Your photos are just amazing!

The Victorian flower codes were fascinating; intriguing for me has been learning a bit about another flower language: a visual language that directs insects, like bees and butterflies, to the flower centers-- with the bees' pot of "gold".<br />There are colors and patterns that human eyesight cannot detect,attracting and directing the insects (like landing strips and directional signs) on the petals. Your iris already has overwhelming colors and patterns that we DO see! <br />LLCAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4296284051502496327.post-82087064584943306912012-05-04T00:06:14.946-04:002012-05-04T00:06:14.946-04:00I read but don't often take the time to commen...I read but don't often take the time to comment.

The iris up here haven't even thought of budding yet and this is a reminder that mine will probably not bloom this year because they are so terribly overgrown and need to be divided so badly. I am determined to do that this year!<br /><br />Secondly, we all need to be mindful of such moments in our lives for they are the most important ones in the long run IMO<br /><br />Thirldy, Hope your knee gets better fast!GailOhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09556665956317683667noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4296284051502496327.post-65313127780554454612012-05-03T10:54:03.242-04:002012-05-03T10:54:03.242-04:00I love irises too... so short lived! .. but beauti...I love irises too... so short lived! .. but beautiful blooms.
