Thank you all for your nice comments.
Tony is doing a lot better.
Where you get good flowers you get bees, better than ticks.
Maybe we could swap you some rain for some snow, at least it would be a change. Shouldn't complain, we aren't flooding as yet. #5429186

Regarding your comment, the city isn't all about skyscrapers... people and nature make the city... not just skyscrapers. #5542942

Chris Ebben February 26, 2008

Thank you. I agree, it's just our town is badly in need of a bit of a lift, we have been bypassed by the highway & we need something nice in the town to attract holiday makers. Though, I must admit nothing as grand as your skyscraper. #5552603

G'day Chris,

Well spotted and nicely photographed, this Iris stands out so well from its well muted and darkened natural background.
You have chosen a very good point of view to better display the lovely mauve centre of the flower, your focus is nice and crisp, the contrast is most pleasing and the water drops are like a smattering of little diamonds over the subject.
Lovely work!
