I apologize for the MASSIVE upload (89 pics!), but I really wanted to put all of these up on my flickr and put them in my album "The Iris Collection". If you love irises, or if you love color, you might want to take the time to click through them all. Maybe the garden is this amazing every year (the last time I was there was two years ago, and before that, I can't recall), but it really seems to me that this year was a BANNER year at this garden. If you ever get the chance to visit it, jump on it. It is generally at peak between the middle of May and the beginning of June. There's a few pictures of other things I found at the garden, as well. A cool deer, a few trees, an artist, and the nearby Walther House. I used a diffuser filter in some of the pics for a soft, dreamy effect. Enjoy! © Carrie Hittel. All Rights Reserved.
