Amazing iris! The BioPark calls me through all the seasons to come stroll. It has become familiar as the public gardens of my childhood. Yet every visit there are changes. Two days ago, a yellow koi with netting on her back joined the others. The time before that, there was a fresh stone path to the waterfall. I have seen raccoons and porcupines in the wisteria and once a porcupine spine floating in the pond. They do not allow dogs, I guess because it would create social problems. It’s ok. My dogs live a block away with their own garden of wonders, although today it looks quite shabby. Kaija is digging a hole to China. It is now large enough for her to crouch fully inside.
Took a shortcut to the street from my back door and saw the iris I planted last spring (2022) in bloom. It's almost December and all is right with the world.

To a dog every day is a wonder and the best ever.
The "new science of awe." Who knew! I'm going to start a 15-minute daily stroll practice. Great post, Rona!
When you take your first photo, Karen, I hope you'll post it in the Chat. I love to see the wonders people find.

Lucky you!
Totally unexpected - white with just a hint of purple around the edges. One of the highlights of my day.
I will!
