Iris...

...are blooming in my yard...so pretty.  They are delicate though and the Oklahoma winds don't give them a long lazy life.  Oh well.  I tried to capture them on camera yesterday.  Even in the early morning the winds were strong so after many shots at a high speed only a couple turned out respectably.  But since it has been awhile since my last post will put them up here anyway!


Remember Georgia O'Keefe?  She was always peering into the center of a flower.  Iris are great for that...just so delicate and beautiful. 

My latest news is the wind.  Wow, the weather is sure interesting here.  The wind is a constant lately.  The only thing it does is change direction.  When it comes out of the south it is usually moisture filled and warm.  When it comes out of the west or north is cools down.  But no matter what, it blows.  Right now this country is drying up and blowing away...no rain.  I think of Catcher in the Rye...dust rising from every step of a paw as the dog walks along. Hmmm...time will tell if we get that far.

Til next time...keep the faith and pray for rain.
