Name: firstcitybook
Location: Leavenworth, Kansas, United States

I have multiple degrees in English and currently teach college writing online. I would most like to live on the other side of the 98th meridian where it would be possible to see a great distance when stepping outside the door. Forced to live where the jobs are, I currently reside in the well-watered East, a couple of hundred miles east of the 98th meridian, with my wife and son.

Irises

Irises, at least in this part of the world, are associated with Memorial Day, a day set aside for remembering the members of the military who lost their lives. Using a series of extension lens that add up to 7x allows me to get a closer shot than the flower setting on my camera. Just like the other pictures on this blog, clicking on the picture will enlarge it.
