One of my favorite places to go and meander with my camera is the local agricultural center. It has walking trails, a museum and many gardens. One of them is an iris garden with nearly a hundred different kinds of iris.

I was fortunate to go there when many of the different species were in bloom.

The recent rain added to the graphic nature of the flowers.

The iris all shared a commonality but were each as individual as we are.

I chose black and white to highlight this uniqueness without their colors getting in the way.
