A collection of my photos of flora and fauna, and maybe now and then,
something else that catches my attention and just will not let go.
Maybe even with little verbage, which is pretty hard for this gal.

Good Morning Sunshine, From the Iris
.
I just love the deep sunshine yellow of this Iris, no pale shinking violet this iris (sorry for mixing my flora). Also love that it is a rather large bloom on steady stems, no falling over here either. Make me smile! Thank you.
Love it. And I'm with you on dislike of floppy iris. Unfortunately the most prolifically reproducing iris in my garden is a leggy orange type that flops over at the slightest bit of wind or rain; am now in the 2nd year of a 3-year plan to eliminate this stinker from my garden. Somewhere along the line my yellow ones disappeared - gotta find one like this!
I have found I am having so much fun with the camera that there are many more photos taken than will fit on my blog, Reflections From the Fence.
I post flora and fauna photos here. One subject a day, a flora and fauna 365 project. I managed to get past the first 365 and started the second year of this daily exercise. I made it till sometime in November of 2011. And, now, Flora and Fauna is just a regular ole blog, posting when I have something to share and the time to post it.
Some posts are wordy, some are wordless. My goal is to make them as wordless as possible. However, if I find something interesting during the posting/research process, I may share, ok, I will probably share. I hope you find the words and photos to be interesting.
Remember, by clicking on the photo, it will open in a new window, usually a larger view of the image, more detail, etc. Please use your back button to return here to Reflection's Flora and Fauna.
Thanks for stopping by.

Things I love: Family, Grandchildren, Rving, computers (sometimes, but not when they are being bad), family history, yorkies, techy toys like my iToys, photography.
I am all of these, so I write about them all, and more.

What a beautiful iris! I love the color, and the sturdy stem!
By any chance, is it a 're-bloomer?'
Sherry, Tis not a re-bloomer. I don't have any iris that are. I should look into that.
