All Folded Up


It continues to be a mystery to me how the irises manage to fold all those petals up into such small buds.  I have a couple of ill-informed theories on how they do it, but I prefer the mystery, I think.

And then they open and have their own faux fuzzy caterpillars to keep them company.

Shortly after I moved into my house I painted the front door bright blue. I don't why, it just needed to be blue.
