Irises - Greek for Rainbow

Irises have become one of my favorite flowers. So many different colors all across the spectrum. The coolest part of irises for me are their names.......Superstition, Southwest Tattooed Lady, Witch of Endor, St. Louis Blues and many more!!

I do sell some of these beauties. If your interested there are some available at my Etsy shop or you can email me at foresterchick@hotmail.com for your custom iris order. Just give my the name of the iris and I see how many I have available.

Here's a few that I have in the garden this year.


This iris was the last to bloom in the garden and I think the best was saved for last! This is Artist Time and the colors are so striking.

Tulip Season coming to a Close

Tulip season in my garden is winding down. Satin petals are falling and I've divided almost every bulb I have by color as they bloomed and showed their flair. I hoped my grandfather, Julius Orosz watched from where ever he may be and adorned the tulips I grew for him:)

I don't know the name of these tulips only the color they remind me of.

Walking on Winchester Trail

The weather picked up this weekend. Sunny and in the 70's. Whohoo!! I took Friday afternoon off to enjoy the spectacular weather on the coast. So the dogs and I ventured over to a local trail in the Coos County Forest between Coos Bay and Bandon, Oregon. Of course I took my camera along to see what the forest has to show off on such a spring day.

Full Sail- White Trillium, woodland flower.

Dozer

Unknown woodland flower ( I haven't named the image yet either)

Dozer and Lacy

Skunk Cabbage - water loving woodland plant, always pops in the spring season around creeks.

Sword Fern - The most common fern in the Pacific Northwest forest. I borrow this plant's stable roots and stem to help get me up the hill slope througout my work day out in the woods (between 70-80 percent slope).

Dozer's ready to keep walking:)

My new website! What do you think?

I've decided to expand on my photography venture by opening my own website. Interestingly enough I started it from almost scratch instead of purchasing a template with expensive software. There were video tutorials on pretty much everything:) I went to http://www.bluevoda.com/.

I've been working hard this last month building my website. Almost every night after work. It's been a good learning experience. Once I thought I was done, I would either find a mistake or adding to it.

They have helped with everything!! A very easy program. I recommend them:)

Here it is!!!
