“What a desolate place would be a world without a flower! It would be a face without a smile, a feast without a welcome. Are not flowers the stars of the earth, and are not our stars the flowers of the heaven.”
– A.J. Balfour

Hey Thomas! Thank you for dropping by and following my blog. I’m so glad you did so or how else was I going to stumble upon yours?!
Being a mountain girl, this blog of yours and those splendid photos are going to be special for me 🙂
I could so relate to the introductory quote to your blog. Back in the day in 2011, I was going through a tough time and that’s when nature healed me inside out. It’s almost like I came back a changed person. Nature sure has its ways of bringing you back to life and pumping you just the right amount, preparing you for the world outside.
Looks a kaleidoscope, excellent. Loved it
I don’t think I have ever seen that flower before. It is truly spectacular.
Good photograph!
amazing pictures, Tom! May I ask what camera you use?
I use a Nikon D3200! Not the nicest Nikon but I really like it and it does the job!
Awesome! Thanks for replying! 🙂
Magnificent iris.
The Iris with it’s 3 in 1 symbolism. Mysterious and profound and stunning photos my friend! 🙂
