A brand new iris makes its first grand appearance before the others at the entrance of my garden's path.

It was an eye opener as if to say, "Welcome!"

The path leads you to the arbor where you are drawn into another dimension of nature's

serenity under morning's light and songbird melodies.

Elli, my cat, is about to make her way through as I snapped photos to include her in this painting.

She loves walking this path where a chipmunk might cross!
