Hi, dirt. {{waving back}}

Me, too. Been a long time since it has bloomed, but worth the wait for sure!

Didn't know until editing the Iris photograph that I caught the mongo mosquito-looking thing in flight.

It's a great catch!
In my experience anyway, all of my in flight shots are sheer dumb luck

The iris got photo bombed.

Cool that you caught that Debra.

That other thread was getting so long I decided to start over--
with this here new version, dedicated to all the photo bombing residents and visitors that make me take their pictures and post them

I don't know what happens...it's like they have some kind of personal gravity that pulls the lens...

One of the natives was posing today (they are usually so quick I never get an opportunity like this)

Bee action within the reticulated iris is hard to capture

bee butts going in and coming out or a bee sandwich
