Coastal Irises and Sea Arch

I noticed some coastal irises blooming recently near a sea arch in Big Sur.

Here are a few images:

And here are few of just the arch from a bit better of an angle:

These images bring back fond memories, Derek. I moved to California in
1968. Friends and I used to go to Sea Ranch several times a year and
hike the trails along the coast, meadows, and forest. Thanks for the
memories and a quiet walk down nostalgia lane.

Derek,

I like the first image including the Iris the best although I'm wishing the Iris's were a little more prominent or had more blossoms. But a very nice combined view with the flowers and the rugged coast. My favorite of the series would have to be #75 though. Great action and flow in the water. Nice series.

Lon

The vertical one works best for me, though like Lon said, I wish the flowers were larger/more prominent. Good series.

Derek, for me the diagonal shots are all wonderful. I always enjoy angle shots like that if they have good subject matter such as these reflect.
