Boulder, Spring, and Irises: A Long and Colorful History
I might think I know what I’m going to blog about. Then I look out and see something like this iris. This one is pretty crazy. All other thoughts go to the sidelines, and only this one flower fills my cerebral cortex. No color mixing here! These are colors straight from the tube a la Vermeer. Regardless of the medium, oils, pencil, camera, light is the common critical component. That works philosophically as well. While I might have thought I was going to shed light on one thing, I write about what the light happens to be shining on when I’m at the keyboard or camera. Today, this amazing iris!
