Batik Irises. My batik irises usually have more purple than white, but I really like this unusual one as well. The roots of the iris plant have been used medicinally to treat skin infections, syphilis, stomach problems and dropsy. Today the roots are still used to purge the liver. Some alternative medicine uses include using yellow iris to treat dandruff and white iris to treat asthma and bronchitis, as well as use as a diuretic.
Thanks for your visits, favs and comments. As always, appreciated very much!

**The Causeway in Horsham, England, pictured in the mid-afternoon light of a May day (3:35 PM). Distinctive pollarded trees, showcasing fresh spring foliage, line the historic thoroughfare alongside well-preserved period homes. The scene unfolds under a lightly clouded sky, capturing the tranquil and picturesque character of this residential street.**
A Common Grackle peers out from between glossy oak leaves, its iridescent feathers catching the light. The sharp eye and bold stance are hard to miss.
I photographed this bird in an oak tree in my Arkansas yard. It paused just long enough in the branches for me to grab this quick shot.
Grackles are often overlooked, but up close their glossy plumage reveals deep blues and purples. Their bright eyes and loud calls give them a striking presence in any tree canopy.

Golden shafts of light
woven through the emerald leaves—
summer’s hush and glow.
Soft beams kiss the earth,
dappling trails with fleeting gold,
whispers in the breeze.
Summer in the forest.
Wandering beams drift and dance—
light spills in scattered, silent steps,
weaving whispers in the wild.
Each moment flickers, soft and bright,
a fleeting spell upon the floor,
where summer lingers, breathing slow,
through leafy arms that hold the light.
Summer in the forest.
