The history you are surrounded by is phenominal and so true for this prompt. You know how I love macros of flowers too, LOVE that iris!

We all deserve the same things,...no matter our race, religion/faith, sex, sexual preference, heritage or any thing else,...hope we can keep making progress and get it right; sooner rather than later would be great! ;-) Lovely photos, too. I'm completely smitten w/your first flower one - just wow!!Shelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11087293577550452789noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1782854575415236189.post-15075457256262916942013-04-07T10:39:39.091-05:002013-04-07T10:39:39.091-05:00Therese, this was a wonderful post!

I am not sure why everyone doesn't see it that way.

It makes no sense to me why someone is hated for their skin color, race, religion or choice of partner. We seem to have a long way to go yet! I love the macro shot of the green Chrysanthemum with light illuminating it. Lovely as is the bearded iris.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07052648468989130418noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1782854575415236189.post-81701650244306744852013-04-06T21:20:23.018-05:002013-04-06T21:20:23.018-05:00wonderful, wonderful post Therese!

It is so hard to believe that anyone would think that we are not all equal ... whether that be the color of your skin, your a man or woman, or want equal partner rights. To me that is the spirit of why this country was founded. It's all in how you want to interpret the founding father's words ..."we hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal" I would just change that to "all people" :)<br /><br />I love your macro shots - just beautiful! and a bearded iris is right up there among my favorite flowers!AntiquityTravelershttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09448273777508831649noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1782854575415236189.post-89758690102312072542013-04-06T20:26:17.939-05:002013-04-06T20:26:17.939-05:00What a wonderful post, Therese.

It is amazing how far we've come and how far we have to go. <br /><br />I struggle trying to explain some of the race relations to the kiddo and most of the time, she looks at me like I have two heads. <br /><br />In her mind, treating someone differently because of skin color is such a foreign concept. Hopefully, it will be foreign to all of us in the future.<br /><br />Your macro shots are gorgeous. I love the iris. I don't think I've ever seen a bearded iris and it is just lovely.Tanyahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05674909712418596942noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1782854575415236189.post-71266577255434338642013-04-06T19:42:05.157-05:002013-04-06T19:42:05.157-05:00Very interesting Therese, I'm a bit of an MLK ...Very interesting Therese, I'm a bit of an MLK fan-girl! I've been to his home in Atlanta and on the park tour, and to the monument in DC (which is very affecting). I was a teen in the 60's and those years were very, very tough. I was devastated when he and JFK and Bobby were killed. I've never been to Alabama, I may have to pay a visit to Mobile!<br />Your flower photographs are beautiful as well!LoriFhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00884816850378635735noreply@blogger.com
