By the Lake

 Thanks to gardeners who put pretty flowers near public walkways...here are some pretty iris, I don't know the kind, but they are all the same.







I wish I could have kneeled down and had the iris as a foreground that captured the mountains too. It would have been a real bend, since this is a slope down to the water...would have meant practically lying down.
There are the sleepy ducks. They seem to feel safe under these trees.


Today's quote:

Courage doesn’t always roar. Sometimes courage is the little voice at the end of the day saying "I'll try again tomorrow."

    ...I believe that they are Siberian Iris, they like damp areas.

    Those irises are very pretty. I have found some in a little boggy area near us, an bog that is probably not very boggy right now in this incredible dry spell.

      Yes, they probably wouldn't be very happy if it was dry.

    I’ve been known to hold my phone down low to take a photo. I used to kneel down but now I have trouble getting back up!

Thanks for commenting! I tried moderating, thinking that would be a quicker way to check on comments, but actually it takes more time. So go ahead and talk amongst yourselves, and I'll check in when I can!!
