The Iris Farm

Leelanau Iris Farm

Took this photo on Saturday at the centennial Iris Farm along M-72 about 5 miles west of Traverse City (5385 E. Traverse Highway). It's really a beautiful place.

  1. Wow... I wish I lived closer, then I could swing by places like this while things are still in bloom !

  2. I'm pretty sure I was driving by when this picture was being taken. I was thinking that I KNEW I was supposed to have my camera with me....and then we saw a gentleman with a camera on a tripod and was hoping I'd get to see the results. Thank you for sharing it here!

    Cheers,
    Cher

  3. My wife has long enjoyed the Iris Farm, far more for its exquisite blooms than its Centennial farm look. I've photographed there four or five times, but never had the success of your photographer. KUDOS!
