My IPhone says this is a Bearded Iris. Not my area of expertise so I’ll defer. It says they bloom in mid to late spring, which it did, but I guess once wasn’t enough, so here it is again. Don’t know how it got in to my yard but it’s a beautiful flower.

White Bearded Iris with yellow and orange on the inner part of its petals with green stalk and long green leaves in front of a red brick wall.

I actually went back to just a couple of Tums. Seems to work although I don't push it.

Cool little guy hanging out on the door to Planet Fitness, I guess thinking the sign said "As low as $15 a moth"...

Moth/butterfly on a glass door with its reflection in the glass. Brown wings with black stripes and white squares and a greenish body. iPhone identified it as a Long-tailed Skipper which I guess is technically a butterfly.

In my little red part of the state we had probably 90% support from the very heavy Main St traffic.

A few photos from No Kings Summerville, South Carolina. Managed three hours but I guess I'm passed the standing in the heat phase of my chemo - had to leave a little early. The response from the very busy Main St traffic was overwhelmingly positive, which makes me wonder how red this area really is.

Crowd of protesters carrying signs facing Main St. Summerville for No Kings rally.

Tough one. Janis Ian on SNL (AT Seventeen) or Joan Armatrading as a backup act to The Atlanta Rhythm Section in Norfolk Va. Both amazing.
