This December, a beautiful reblooming iris blossomed in my front yard. First, I assumed it was confused in its blooming cycle due to the mild autumn weather we were having in Virginia. I later discovered it was a reblooming bearded iris. Normally, the rebloomers enjoy a second blooming cycle from August to October in my area. However, this one was a special treat because it had a third blooming cycle. I captured the first image on December 1, 2012 and the last one on December 17. Even though I captured my last image on the 17th, the flower was still blooming on Christmas day.
Seeing it sparkle and thrive brought feelings of rejuvenation and immortality. A little bell sounded in my brain telling me it was also the time to rejuvenate my soul, reinvent myself and apply my well-honed photographic and creative skills to create this wonderful book, “December Iris”, with images of the lovely iris accompanied by quotes from some of my favorite poets and philosophers.
