Purple Light, 2008

On the first Sunday after the first full moon after the March Equinox, 2008, at 7:30 in the morning, I found purple iris blooming in the swales along the bike path and turned to find purple light projected by the rising sun in the wings and curtains of Deer Lake State Park, north of Scenic 30A. See the movie: QuickTime or Flash.

I didn't know that in Greek mythology, Iris is rainbow, a messenger of the gods. The flower is probably a blue flag (Iris virginica), a native planted and cared for by WaterSound gardeners.
