My Photograph of a Peach and White Iris at Descanso Gardens...

I took this photograph of this peach and white bearded iris at Descanso Gardens a while back.  I think the colors are very beautiful and subtle.  Today it's raining, which is wonderful for us in California with the drought, but I often like to look at pictures from brighter days when the weather is dark...  I hope that you will enjoy this photo!

My Photograph of Tiny Wildflower Flowers at Descanso Gardens...

I took this macro photograph of these wildflowers at Descanso Gardens during my most recent visit.  They were extremely tiny and oh so delicate.  I can see a simpler version of them as a garland for one of my fairy angel paintings.  I don't know what these flowers are called, but they were so lovely.  They're replanting the flower beds though, so I'm not sure if they're still there.  I hope that you will enjoy this photo!
