March Iris-Spring In Vancouver
Is this a sign of an early spring in Vancouver? I sure hope so.
I planted a bunch of Iris bulbs in October 2008. That was the first time in my life that I planted flower bulbs, and the funny thing is that I was thinking about them a couple of days ago.
This is the first time that I recall seeing an Iris starting to bloom this early in Vancouver. I usually start looking for them in May. I'm not complaining though, this means that there are about 20 more to blossom in the front garden. What a treat.
This was my first attempt at using a new Nikon D70 Digital SLR with a telephoto lens. I was in a panic to get some photographs this afternoon, because there is snow predicted to fall overnight, and I was worried that it would damage or harm the 3 Irises that have bloomed.

Gorgeous!! We are 6 weeks away from that here - at least!
ReplyDeleteI use a D80 with a wide angle for landscape shots... I just love it...
Thanks Michelle.
ReplyDeleteI am truly blessed in that the camera was given to me by my brother, as he finds it is too bulky to carry with him while he is skiing.
I have not used a SLR camera since mine was stolen in 1988, and having a digital SLR has been wonderful.
