    I remember looking at your photos from last week and commenting that my mother would be jealous of all the irises! Once again, these gardens do mine justice. This week I can really see the beauty in the flowers themselves. Thank you for sharing your pictures, and Happy WW!

    Beautiful gardens! I feel in love with wild irises in the Rockies and cannot get enough of them now.

    That is an impressive garden, nice to see more views this week.
    I particular like the first picture with the bridge. Makes me think of some compositional ideas.

    @A Blog in the Rough -- It's really been hot on the East Coast. I guess we're making up for last summer, which was really cool.

    @Sarah -- Wild irises must be so beautiful. I just spent some time in the Colorado Rockies in March. But the it was still snowing and the flowers hadn't bloomed. It must be even more beautiful then.

    @catsynth -- I love that picture on the little bridge. That man was sitting there taking photos of the irises, so I took a photo of him taking photos!

    I've heard about the iris gardens and now you've convinced me that I need to go next year when they are in bloom.

    When were they in bloom? June?

    Beautiful! Thanks for sharing!

    I've never seen an Iris garden! When I lived in CT I went to the Rose Garden in Elizabeth Park and have been to the Conservatory Gardens in Central Park - BUT I love Irises and what a treat to see so many. Thanks.

Yule Log!

For many years Channel 11, WPIX in New York City ( one of the oldest TV stations in the country ), would present the " Yule Log " on Christmas Eve. While the Yule Log burned, Christmas carols would play. Now my childhood home did have a fireplace, but there was something about the Yule Log on Channel 11 that made us happy. It became a New York area tradition. I hope you enjoy it! This particular Yule Log was shown in 1983.
