Purple Iris from Today

I did my usual garden walkabout. I found a purple Iris which I did not know that I had one since this is the first year that it bloomed. It is supposed to bloom twice a year. We shall see.

Anyway I made an amateur mistake. I took too many pix of the same flower while not changing the angle much. It was also pretty windy which can be very annoying.

I also tried using the flash on a couple of shots. I am not too happy with any of them and now they seem to blur together.

I'm not too concerned about the yellow one. I turned around and shot that one through my legs (tight quarters). I like the 4th one myself.

I like shot #2. I like the flower in focus and the background out of focus. Just makes the flower special.
