This deep purple Iris just bloomed in my garden, just in time for me to dedicate this post to my life partner Harry who passed away on this date last year from a heart attack. This was his favorite, of the many Iris's in my garden.

I used the canon 1:4 L. lens with the 40D, hand held.

Thank you for commenting.

Sandi, this is a great dedication to your late life partner Harry.
As long as there are memories of him, he will live on. Cherish these memories!

My thanks to all who leave comments for my work and to those of you who like one enough to make it a favourite. To touch just one person that way makes each image worthwhile. . . . . . . . . .. . . . "The question is not what you look at, but what you see" ~ Marcel Proust

Wowsie girlfriend and breath taking shot and close up, brilliant. It's hard to believe it's already been 1 year. I'm sure he's looking down on our gorgeous garden

This is also my favourite ... So intensely deep purple that it is almost black...
My heart goes to you - not only on the 4 June but also today and tomorrow and day after...:)
