Wild Irises

Wild Irises….. I found these growing almost in the water alongside the lake at the Taylor Dam this afternoon. I had never seen them growing there before today. When Keith picked me up from Wairau Hospital after lunch the first thing I wanted to do was drive the short distance up the road to the Taylor Dam. “What for?” he asked. “To get a blip of course…” A silly question of a Blipper. Nothing stops us eh?
Thanks very much to all of you who sent me such lovely messages after I posted yesterday’s image. “Breakfast in Bed” in the Coronary Care Unit at Wairau Hospital. I felt very touched and grateful and special. I am pleased to report that the wonderful staff there finally sorted out my atrial fibrillation. It did take longer than expected to get my heart back to normal rhythm and I needed to stay an extra night. Good thing too, otherwise I would have been anxiously taking my pulse every half hour through the night. A little knowledge is a dangerous thing and once a nurse always a nurse.
It may take me some time to catch up with all your messages so please be patient with me… For now…Arohanui to you all.
