2. The bright yellow pops so beautifully against the dark blue background. Super shot!

Hey Allan, I have a yellow iris plant, too, and yesterday I saw a hummingbird flitting around it trying to drink the nectar. He stayed for about a minute and then flew off. I’m hoping he’ll come back but I haven’t seen him since. The irises are right outside my back door, so it’s easy to monitor. Have you ever seen a hummingbird near your flowers?

[George McGovern]

7. No, I haven't. But the flowers aren't directly in view. I'll keep that in mind. Thanks!

His warm buttery yellows

Are nestled comfortably

Upon dark basement blues

While vivid greens push

Beautiful colors skyward

10. I like your poem wyn, a lot, but I don't understand its title. Thank You!

13. A-Framing B-Begging (...to clarify)

Such an excellent capture George

I bet it would look great "framed"

And perhaps then hung with care

Maybe to bring comfort and life

To an otherwise ordinary location

A lively image "begging to be framed"

That is to say :: A-Framing B-Begging

Now I see what you're saying -
So eloquently,
To which I say humbly, I'd love to bring
Comfort and life to a second-rate space,
And elevate ordinary.
Because you say I could.

Thank You wyn
