Although I walk my dog at least once a day, I never know what I’m going to see along any of the familiar routes I take. Things are always changing with the seasons, with alterations to houses, with the light of day. At this time of year, I have the pleasure of walking by my neighbor’s iris patch, which is a beautiful thing to behold in itself. Add to that the moment the petals are illuminated by the setting sunlight and the irises are transformed from lovely to extraordinary. It’s amazing what lighting can do for a scene. I was bowled over by the light, the colors, and the shapes, so I moved in to fill the frame with the glowing petals.
