I do so enjoy the cycle of nature, the coming and going of seasons, wildlife emerging and the arrival of their offspring, the leafing out of the trees and forest. Spring wildflowers emerging bring colour to freshen the landscape and I search in familiar places for those found in previous years.
As spring gave way to summer, I've been watching a spot along a familiar roadside for the return of the Blue Flag Iris. Driving along as we arrived for our stay, I noticed that it now fully emerged since our last visit and knew I would have only a short time to capture it in full bloom. Returning the next morning with my 5DIII and 150 Sigma Macro, I spent as much time as Murphy would allow, trying to get some decent shots of it.
Blue Flag Iris - I
Blue Flag Iris - II
I first found
this delicate little beauty on my morning walks up north where it was
there to greet me as we started our days ... but only for a short time
... until it's season is done. DJE
I'm a Canadian photographer that loves to be outdoors experiencing and capturing the beauty of the land with my camera. Much of my time is spent enjoying these photographic pursuits. I make images of scenes and subjects that move me visually, sharing them with others through my photographic fine art prints and online.
When not at home in Guelph, Ontario or at our cottage on the Bruce Peninsula, I can generally be found roaming around somewhere in Ontario, almost assuredly with a camera.
For additional information, artisan crafted fine art prints, private or corporate commissions, I can be contacted by email at djenglandphotography-at-gmail.com
