Description
These are some irises that I captured in Maine on a cloudy day. The purple irises are actually against water and the clouds are reflected in the water.
I thought the combination of the bluish gray clouds with the purple flowers was stunning at the time.
SYMBOLISM:
* irises: "The iris's mythology dates back to Ancient Greece, when the goddess Iris, who personified the rainbow (the Greek word for iris), acted as the link between heaven and earth. It's said that purple irises were planted over the graves of women to summon the goddess Iris to guide them in their journey to heaven." -- quote from Teleflora, The Meaning of Flowers:
