the way I see the world
I wasn’t sure this was an Atrichoseris platyphylla (gravel ghost), but looking online at a site called “The American Southwest” site that identifies flowers, I guess it is. (I knew some others I had shot were, but I didn’t know that it had the red center. If I’m wrong, which would mean that site is wrong as well, please do fill me in!)

It used to be that getting a walk every weekday was no big deal. For some reason this year has been different and more difficult for my daily excursions. I can’t even say why … as far as I can tell not much has changed in my life. But so it goes.
Today’s walk was short, but I ran into a number of iris blooming. This is merely a first shot and it’s doubtful I’ll deem it print-worthy, but I’m sure there will be more to post that will be getting put on paper when I have the time to look through what I made! As I say, though, “A first shot is a first shot and up it goes!”
