Meanwhile, back in DC Part Two

-- Views of the beautiful antique-yellow iris growing in Mary's garden

-- Spent the day Saturday with my friends David and Joe. The shots of the purple (shows up blue in photo) iris is one of a "field" of purple irises growing in the front garden of David and Joe's home.
