Stormy Start, Beautiful Finish

An inch of rain overnight, several thunderstorms and grey clouds this morning.

But it all cleared away this afternoon for a spectacular finish.

These caught my eye as I pulled into the driveway at 7pm. I forget what they are, and please excuse the growth of weeds in the background (you would think I would take better care of the landscaping right in front of the house!).


My friend, Lisa, has the most abundant (ie, gorgeous) collection of iris in her backyard. I started to take pictures from the street, but she saw me and welcomed me into the backyard. I realized it is really hard to take pictures of masses of flowers, so I tried to isolate them instead.


Tuesdays are quite crazy for me from a schedule standpoint - lots of activities to take kids to, so I only got these two pictures processed. I plan to get caught up later in the week.
