November's Iris
No, this photo is NOT from Reflection's archives, this was taken in St. Louis, at the City Garden, mid November, 2010. It is not the best photo, composition and sharpness lacking. I was so surprised at finding this, I just snapped the photo.
I would think this iris is confused about the time of year, but, hey, I took delight in its confusion!

In the Land of Lincoln, Eight Points
OK, I normally would not do this, post the same photo here and over at Reflections From the Fence, but, I was so excited bout this guy, I just have to share him again. The photo format here at Flora and Fauna allows for a larger view, so, here he is, in his larger view.

Sumac at Lincoln Memorial Garden, Springfield Illinois
I have no idea why, but, I am always drawn to sumac, maybe the bright red color? There were several very tall bushes along the Lake Trail at the Lincoln Memorial Garden in Springfield Illinois. Most were high enough that even with my 20 X zoom I could not get a photo that was in focus (needed a tripod). But, did get this one:

The Horses of Mackinaw Island, They Pull - -
On Mackinaw Island (Michigan), there are no motorized vehicles, you walk, you bike, or you use some form of horse conveyance. Here are a few of the ways you can get around:
*Did not see the UPS delivery truck on the island, yes, it is pulled by horse.
**This is part 2 of a three part series, come back tomorrow for a different kind of horse.
Need a ride to the Grand Hotel?
Personal conveyances.
Pulling a delivery wagon, anyone
know what these strap like things
are on the horses backs?
You may need a delivery of drinking cups,
if so they will come via horse pulled wagons.
Yes, they can even bury you on the island,
and you will make your last trip pulled by horses.

The Horses of Mackinaw Island, The Buggy Ride
Mackinaw Island, one of the most wonderful spots in Michigan. You arrive by high speedy ferry boats, walk off the peer and step back in time. (Or you can fly in, oh, oh, a memory trigger for Moi, maybe have to write about that over at Reflections.)
Mackinaw Island is the home of the Grand Hotel, where they filmed "Somewhere in Time", a great love story starring Christopher Reeve and Jane Seymour.
On the island, there are no motorized vehicles, you walk, you bike or you go by horse (or horse pulled convenience of some type.)
Man and I were there last in late July, 2009. We took a buggy ride around the island, with a tour guide. Here are some photos:
*This is part 1 of a three part series on the horses of Mackinaw. You know what they say - - stay tuned.

Our carriage, during a rest stop for the horses.
(Well, that is what the driver told us, and
yes, he IS talking on a cell phone.)
The view out the side of the carriage, is, mmmm,
better? more interesting?
Man, getting acquainted.
