Now that fall is here, I'm already craving summer flowers! I need to relax and enjoy the season I'm in, I guess...

I have a #miniPC lying around and I decided to install #Linux on it, so I am obligated to tell you about it.

It's an 11th gen quad core #Intel Core #i5 with 16GB of RAM, and an Intel #Iris #GPU, so it should be good enough for most #retrogaming #emulation.

First I put #Batocera on it, but that's a little barebones and I couldn't find the low level settings, so I just installed #Ubuntu and #RetroArch instead. Hopefully I can find a #emulator frontend like #launchbox

Some Flowers

Canon R50 Mirrorless - Sigma 150-600mm Contemporary Lens - ISO: 1000 - Aperture: f/6.3 - Shutter Speed: Varied

The Ornamental onion and the two purple IRIS were taken with the 150-600mm Sigma Lens. The remaining image was using a Canon EF-S 18-135mm lens.

Soon they'll be blooming. Irises are one of my fave flowers, so I've done a lot of artwork with them. Here's one recent work...

https://peggy-collins.pixels.com/featured/iris-garden-peggy-collins.html

My absolute favorite Iris is this Anaconda Love Iris with its lavender pink standards, beet purple falls, silver and white streaks and ruffles! Can't wait for the spring flowers which could very well be early this year!

I'm kind of entranced by irises lately. Here's my latest version...

This is one of a few versions of irises I've done with a stained glass effect. (Not real stained glass!)

The Iris Nebula

NGC7023 aka the Iris Nebula is a reflection nebula 1300 light-years away in Cepheus, about 6 light-years across.

It's particularly impressive caught in the middle of LDN1170, the large swathes of brown dust swirling around.

I’m always delighted to see the iris bloom.
