Thanks Shirley,

This was shot in early morning, and the low-angled sunlight helped achieve richer color. #7880028

Thanks Dominick for your comment.
These yellow irises grow wild in our area ( Eastern Ontario) in wet habitats such as marshes, pond edges and wet ditches. This photo was taken at at wetland/marsh I often visit to look for birds.
Thanks, Jen, for checkin' in. #7888670
