Click to enlarge photos

I just had to show you what the smoke bush is now doing...this is not the greatest photo but I was doing a couple things at once and did not download them till just now.

Yesterday I had one iris bloom almost all the way open and today I have half a dozen of these that are open plus dark purple ones, as well as the peach.
I think this barn scene just looks so inviting...I just had to share.

Smoke bush

I cannot seem to post without posting a photo because that is what I look forward to when visiting my blogging buddies. So I searched in my archives for something of beauty. These were taken of my smoke bush. The first was taken a few days back and the others were taken in 2005 after a summer rain. When enlarged, I cannot imagine anything more beautiful. I don't think man could create anything even near as pretty as what happens in nature.
