Fairy Iris by onewing

Fairy Iris

As we were walking back to the car today after taking photos of the mosaic at Mayfield I spotted this fairy iris and thought it would be ideal for my flora theme.

You can see the mosaic collage in my other album.

@bugsy @beryl @gosia @leestevo @chimfa @gigiflower @quietpurplehaze @happypat @888rachel @angelar @hermann @darthkitty @dolphin @derekvickers @tonygig @shailestha @seattlite @kathiecb @shesnapped @gamelee @debilz @eyesmile Wow, thanks so much for the lovely comments and the favs. From a non flower person I can't believe that this shot has got on the Trending Page and the Popular Page. Thanks so much everyone. I may have to rethink my outlook on flowers. ha ha.

A bit of background to this photo. David and I were in Mayfield taking photos of the street art and on our walk from one location to another I stopped to take this photo. David didn't realize I had stopped and a few minutes later walked back to where I was saying "I have just been walking up the street on my own talking to myself because I didn't realize you had stopped". My reply was, "Nobody would notice, a lot of people talk to themselves in Mayfield". ha ha.

@bella_ss thanks, I spotted it too, can't believe a flower picture of mine has ended up on the PP. I am not really a fan of flower photos, ha ha.
December 30th, 2014  
@paulaw Sheralee and I have just spotted that this is on the PP. Maybe I should rethink my flower photos. I do like them, just never think of taking photos of them.

@golftragic Thanks Marnie, I can't believe that this is on the PP too.

@rosiekind thanks so much for the fav Rosie. I don't usually take photos of flowers and my daughter said "Mum is so not a flower person", so I had to do a month of flowers for her, just to show I could do it. ha ha. Thanks for the follow.
