Bold little iris

Welcome showy blues of blues

Linger till spring comes

Flowers give such meaning and beauty to our lives. The iris got its name from an ancient Greek Goddess who used the rainbow to bridge heaven and earth.

Run away Scarlet

Bees and bugs dancing on you

Purple stains your vines

Linger little one

Delicate delight
When you leave where do you go?

Oh the Glory

Early sunshine rays

Brighten green vines & tendrils

A golden spout shines

Deposit your eggs

Leaving your image once more

Giving beauty back

Shorter Days Longer Shadows

Sun licks the blossoms

Silhouettes of light linger

Stay fleeting shadows

Pray, Eat, Survive

Bees and bugs do it

Harvest nectar, munch the bugs

Pray fast stay alive

Autumn sneaks up

Moon vine and green bug

Daylight and air whisper change

Linger little one
