Ladies in Waiting

  
  





15 colorful iris




all dressed up
and whispering by the roadside -
Ladies in Waiting






14 iris








These few flowers stand at the side of a lonely road, halfway in a bamboo grove, maybe three, four people pass here regularly.
The old grandmother, who cares for them, lives much further down the valley. So they are really waiting to be seen.
On that day I took some friends for my usual walk and the flowers seemed soooo pleased with the new visitors ... :)

sudden gusts -

We have some beautiful weather lately and the bamboo is growing everywhere.
The bamboo grove just on the other side of the valley is shining in golden colors.





And many bamboo shoots have been eaten by the wild boars after I had captured them on photo.
