Iris

I’ve learned all kinds of things about myself recently.  This weekend, I figured out how to take the bagging attachment off our tractor and hitch up the little trailer.  I learned that I still have much to learn before I’ve mastered backing that trailer up to unload it where I want.  Going forward is so much easier!  
I’m still learning how to ask for help.  I don’t think that comes easily for most of us.  But, this weekend I was reminded once again how wonderful it is to have friends come alongside to help with a big project.  And since that was all done, I had time to enjoy a moment to photograph this today.

Oh my word Adrienne! This is GORGEOUS! Wow. Do you want me to link you up? Amazing picture. I can't look away from it.

I love that you learned it is ok to ask for help. I wonder why that is so hard for us to do? Baffling.

Beautiful!!

They should have a subject in school called "Learning to Ask for Help 101." We could all benefit from that. :)
Hi Adrienne, I guess we all can 'step out of our boxes' and learn to do some things we never had to do before. I'm proud of you.

Gorgeous Iris... Love that color.
Hugs,
Betsy
Oh that photo is beautiful. reminds me of my mums garden. And to be honest I dont think woman are designed to back trailers. I have tried many times with "helpful" tips from my husband to no avail although I have successfully backed the boat down the boat ramp but that was easy as it was super wide!

I love your pictures, Adrienne.
Those water drops on the iris look so morning fresh, I can feel the wet grass under my feet just looking at it! :)

I just can't seem to learn how to back up with a trailer, no matter how many times I try! What a gorgeous Iris...one of my absolute fave flowers :D
lovely iris! I'm enjoying them so much this year. Asking for help is not always easy, but can be a blessing for all involved parties.

That photo is absolutely GORGEOUS! Seriously... it's breathtaking.

I don't even attempt to back up anything. And, I seriously have the same trouble about asking for help... I think it's because I feel like I'm admitting I can't do something on my own, and I have a real problem with that.
What a beautiful iris and photo! Do you have daylilies starting to bloom now?

I'm glad you got the help you needed. It is hard to ask for help.
