Iris's path


With all the rain we’ve been having lately, there’s bound to be a rainbow every so often.

The Greeks thought rainbows were paths between heaven and earth, and were made by Iris, the messenger of the gods. They believed Iris linked the gods to humankind.



Irises aren’t blooming here yet – but in a few weeks they will be unfurling their rainbow colors in yards, parks, and fields. In warmer places, such as New Orleans, they already are...

Beautiful rainbow; nice that you had your camera handy! I've only seen one rainbow this whole winter. The iris are pretty too; so many different colors. I hope your town is awash in color soon!

It's always a lucky chance to have a camera in hand when a rainbow appears...

More flowers and trees are blooming now, so it's actually looking like spring! I'll bet it's beautiful in the Bay Area right now.
