White Iris

The white iris is blooming by the pond at the end of the street. 
The heron in the distance is actually made of metal, but I often see a real great blue heron wading in the shallows, snacking on whatever good things he can find in the water.

  3. How lovely. You have filled me with the need to find some white irises, which I don't recall seeing. The heron is a wonderful bonus.

  4. So lovely and elegant.
    Great framing of the "heron"
    Maybe I need to Repost my shot of the white iris too.

  5. The white irises stand proud and elegant. I like the way how you framed the heron. Without your explanation, I could have taken it as real due to the blur, though it looks a little weird.

    1. Framing the heron was completely accidental. I was concentrating on photographing the iris when I noticed the heron at the water's edge.
