Album Description:

The Iris is one of my favorite flowers; so colorful, very delicate and a sure sign that Spring has sprung. Words really can't describe its beauty, but artists can use their palettes of color to paint them. Photos were taken at the Missouri Botanical Gar

I had a May trip to Boston and a June trip to England and continue to take my dog for walks in the Omaha area. I am still pleased about your tip for the Indiana covered bridges. Visited three of them in 2005. Thanks for sharing your perspectives.

My daughter and I will be going to Schreiner's Iris Gardens in Salem, Oregon the day after my birthday this year. You have some different varieties than I have been able to find, but then your photographs are so superior to what one sees in the catalogues or on line. This was a pleasure to stop by this morning.

Let's remember, all the time His love for each of us and the manner He wants that everybody should think to His desire to be known by His Holy Name (YHWH or JHVH), by all the sensible persons to His request!The same Love it is shown to us by this talented photographer who is here the "symbol" photoop23!Many greetings and congratulations for the above love of nature and of his Creator!Ovidiu.

    • A beautiful album. I miss my Iris and a lot of other things I had in Georgia. That's the problem about moving. You lose all of your established plantings. Some were very expensive and now would be hard to replace a lot of those plants. But with my daughter Gina's help I have managed to get a few back, only a few out of hundreds.

It is called "Flower Faces" It is full of our mutual friends photos. I was a bit afraid to ask you if I could use a few photos of yours not knowing how you feel about albums like this.

    • Hi Sharon, Thanks for checking out Lily's album. She is 25 months now and I don't get to see her or my other granddaughter nearly enough. Bet you are excited to have a new baby this summer. Lily's parents are going to have another baby in August and it is a boy. Now I will have two granddaughters and one grandson. I got a new camera and decided on a Canon EOS Digital Rebel XT. It definitely has more possibilities at 8 pixels than my three pixel had. Anyway I love your album and can't wait for the iris to bloom. IRIS are one of my favorite flowers. God Bless, Jane

    • Hi Sharon, What an incredible pallette of color in these beautiful irises! Now that I'm living in "cold country" (today was the first time that I can ever remember being in below zero weather!) I'm going to try to grow some irises myself! I bought a few bulbs last week & now I just need to see if the ground softens up enough to plant them!!! I just wanted to drop in and say Hi to one of my favorite Webshots friends! It's great to feel "connected" especially when so much is brand new! Have a great week. Lots of warm hugs, Lynn

    • Hi Sharon, I love Bearded Irises, but have never had very much luck in finding or growing them. They probably have the greatest variety and intensity of color of any kind of flower. This is without a doubt the definitive album on beautiful Bearded Irises and I cannot fathom why it has not been featured (along with your many others). You obviously don't limit your considerable talents to just this id since you display equally skillful photography under your other pseudonyms. Don't ever stop! Greetings from Florida, Paul. P.S. Thanks for your very kind words a couple of days ago on my Zion album, and I never forget that you were the first to sign any of my guestbooks. P.P.S. By the way, the bus drivers and guides at Zion still talk about those floods. When we went this year the Virgin River was not flooded, but it was running at 15 to 20 time normal flow and the rangers closed the river (including “The Narrows”) to all hikers and kayakers. It broke my heart. I wanted some pictures of The Narrows.

    • BEAUTIFUL!!! Sharon, I think you did a wonderful job of capturing the beauty of these Irises. We were there before all these were in bloom, but now I feel we didn't miss it. I will be downloading many of these beauties. Sharon, you mentioned that if you had known we would be visiting MBG, you and your husband could have met us, we would have really loved that! I wish we had known you better when we went. If we go again, we will let you know so we can meet. We met two other Webshot friends on that trip and loved the time we spent with them. Also, if you ever come here, (for the balloon fiesta, or anything else) let us know, we don't want to miss the chance of getting acquainted. I want to thank you for visiting our featured album, it was a real pleasure to hear from such a professional photographer. Hope you are enjoying your summer, if it is like here, it is really HOT, lol. Warm Wishes, Candy

    • Hi Sharon! I'm sorry if I have missed writing to you!!! I'm definitely NOT upset about anything! I had surgery in Nov. & from there, both of my married children have moved back home because their marraiges were in crisis. My "photo Fridays" are my escape, but I've been bad about staying in touch with just about everyone...family, friends and the Webshots family. We've been pretty focused on helping our kids through life. But, I have tried to break out once in a while & respond to notes. I'm so sorry I missed yours! The feature was a real pick-me-up yesterday, but I still have a lot of people to respond to. I'm glad your message came in today so that it stood out from the rest!!! Your album here is GORGEOUS! Wish I could visit there with you! Thanks so much for your encouragement & for caring that I stay in touch! You're great!! Be blessed, Lynn

    • Hi Sharon, Such a planopy of colors. It must have been so relaxing strolling through the gardens enjoying such brillant displays of color and variety. Photos 38 with the stone pool in the background and and photo 42 were among my many favorites. We have a Lilac Festival here in Rochester, NY and a comparatively smaller botanical garden that opens next week. I'm looking forward to strolling through the gardens as well. I'll try to share some of the sights. Thank you for sharing. Take care, Ray

    • Awesome! I tried to pick a favorite iris from this gorgeous album and there was just no way to pick just one. This is an exquisite album with great photo composition. I especially love the macros and the personal touch of including the artists. Both of your photographic skills never cease to amaze me. Thanks y'all!

    • Wow, really beautiful! It's nice to see photographs of something else besides Honors Night, Spring Music Concert, Clubs and Organizations, etc. I've been taking a lot to finish up the year for the yearbook. After next Monday, I guess I'll be taking a lot of grandchildren pictures! Mary and her kids will be staying with us for 3 weeks and Becky will be induced Tues. if she doesn't have her baby by this weekend.

    • What beauty you two have captured. Missouri 's Botanical Garden has to be the most exciting in the entire USA. The irises are perfection. You have so many great albums of these gardens. I never tire of viewing them. Thank you for sharing the beauty. I will continue to keep you as one of my favorites, I love all your views of Missouri, what a beautiful state you live in. segseven, OKLAHOMA

    • Hi Sharon, What a beautiful, stunning album. We are so lucky to have the Botanical Garden right here in our area. You did a wonderful job of capturing all the colors of these beautiful irises. Nature's ruffles is what I always call them. Thanks for sharing your talent with us. Take care. God bless. Donna/Missouri

    • Hi Sharon and Bob..Do I want to seee Irises???Do I want to see the sun during the day and stars at night! I love seeing these Irises at the Botanical gardens. This week I've had two trips through the gardens. I am so lucky. I love all the colours of the irises. I love the closeups and the shots of fields of them, it seems. The one lone purple iris is a beautiful shot. I love the delicate colours of the soft yellows and lilac with white, but the deep purple ones are just as beautiful and everything in between. The yellow and fushia coloured ones are great. I can see that someone let a yellow one and a fushia one a little too close one night and they had lots and lots of babies! :-) How wonderful to see an artist painting them. I love the closeup of the peach and lilac ones. I cannot believe all the colours. Who would put peach and fushia together? No one except nature and it works perfectly. Oh what beauty. Between you and Candy and Sharon with her Spring album, you have made my day and evening! Perhaps the fushia is really a violet red. Not sure but it is certainly beautiful. Ok, was it Sharon or Bob that lied on the ground to get that gorgeous shot! I love the photo of the peach ones with the blue violet ones in the background. Oh, those deep burnt orange ones are sensational. I loved every minute of the tour. Thank you guys. hugs and much love, Barbara

    • Hi Sharon and Bob. Another great album you have added to the collection. I'm amazed at how many different gorgous colors there are. I started jotting down my favorites but they kept getting replaced by another one. Another feature for sure. I'll give it my "Gobsmacker& quot; stamp of approval. Well done and thanks for sharing. Best wishes to you both. Al.
