Variations On An Iris.

I love Iris, the flower , not the girl (otherwise my wife would disapprove!!!) These are a collection of variations on images of a single stalk of Iris blooms taken in varying lighting conditions and at various angles. As you can see, most are close-ups of various strengths.

Iris are not only beautiful, but in my opinion are the most improbable looking flower anyone could design. Hence the fascination, I guess.

Enjoy.

Some Spring Flower Close-ups

After a recent rainstorm, I went out to the garden and captured a few images.

The first one is a water droplet in the junction of some leaves.

The second is a pink Columbine (Aquelegia) covered in fine water droplets. This close-up image is of a section perhaps 2 cm (about 3/4 inch for our American friends) wide.

The third image is of water drops on a tulip petal (alas, one of the last tulips of the season here).

The fourth image shows a close-up of a section of an Iris, also with a single water droplet.
