This patch of yellow iris against the little ornage flowered ground cover, had all the mYellow orange is may favorite color, symbolizes creativity, warmth, enthusiasm comfort and joy. I sometimes wonder why its not everyones favorite color! It is associated with sunsets and autum leaves and spurs on positivity and comfort. In the bright sun, these yellow iris and the orange flower seemed to vibrate, dance with each other to the point of almost not being able to see either one by itself. I had to try and paint it, if only I could paint with light!!!
