ReplyDeleteOh, I do love Iris's artistry! I bet she applied it to the living of life as well as the wearing of clothes.
ReplyDeleteThat is such a lovely shot of her in the rosy dress. She was a bloom that never gave up on being bold and glamorous!
ReplyDeleteWow, she knew how to celebrate Life! Love your tanka, Rall.
