Anne Elliott's photos with the keyword: blue Iris

I had to dash out early this morning to meet with friends to spend the day at Bow Valley Provincial Park - roughly a 45-minute drive west from Calgary - and, because I overslept by an hour, I didn't have time to write all my descriptions before I left home. It was gloomy and raining, but we decided that we would still go. We found quite a few wildflowers - unfortunately, though, because everything was covered in millions of teeny raindrops, almost every one of my photos came out blurry, lol! I was also having a few problems with my camera, which does not feel good! Everywhere looked beautiful, clean and fresh and SO green from all the rain we've been having, but there was barely any sign of the surrounding mountains, which were covered in very low cloud and mist. Thanks so much for organizing this trip, Sandy, and thank you, Stephen, for driving us out there and back. So much appreciated! This photo was taken on 20 July 2010, at the Priddis Greens Golf Course, when a few of us botanized the areas around the greens. I seem to remember that a clump of these gorgeous blue Irises were growing "wild".
