Irises In Memory of My Mother

Album Info:

I dedicate this album in memory of my Mother. It's been many years now since she passed away, but I still miss her every day. Irises and spring remind me so much of her and shades of purple were her favorite color, so I think the Sky and Sun Iris would have been a perfect flower for her Mother's Day bouquet! And she always kept smiling through all circumstances, so the "Keep Smiling" Iris is another perfect pick for her bouquet! Sky and Sun (Left), Keep Smiling (Right), Missouri Botanical Garden, St. Louis, Missouri, P1010942

  • What a beautiful way to pay tribute to your Mother! May God bless you and bless the beauty that you share with us too. Thank you for the encouragement to cherish my Mom - we sometimes forget the blessings we have until we are reminded. Thank you so much. Hadassa10.

  • Hello Sharon; This is such a beautiful album and this particular capture lives on my desktop. How lovely that you have dedicated it to your Mother who still lives in your heart. I was gone over Mother's Day and that was the tail end of that week of travel with my daughter. I have a small album of my visit with her family and also the beautiful Iris gardens in Salem. Come and take a peek. They are not at beautiful as yours as the sun was very strong that day, But I did like many of the captures and look forward to another trip there.

  • I too love irises, and miss them AND my Moma. There is nothing like losing ones Mommy to make us feel like tiny children & orphans - no matter what our true age. Thanks for this album !!

  • How wonderful memories of your dear Mother! You dedicated her an outstanding Iris photo! Thanks also for your good wishes! Our Mother's Day of France will be two weeks later, but in Switzerland, it's the same day as in the USA. So we can celebrate it twice... :-) ! A wonderful Mother's Day also to you! (we'll be in Pyrenean vacation from May 12 to May 22; without computer). Hugs! Kaethi
