Through the Iris

Iris have been a favorite flower of mine since I was a little girl. My grandma had them planted on either side of her driveway. They were in every shade you can imagine but her favorite was the purple. My mom in turn had iris planted at our house out in the country. I remember her sharing them every couple of years when we had to split the bulbs so they would have room to grow and flourish. Now I have iris blooming at my farm. I have delicate white ones with a handful of purples. I’m so thankful I have some of our family’s favorite color! The iris of the eye is the colored part and is like a fingerprint. It’s unique to you. The eye of the camera will see what each individual photographer sees and composes. So when I was coming up with a logo for my photography business, I chose to use the iris flower, in purple of course, inside the shutter.
