Lupine Bloom on Bald Hills Road


There has been a lupine explosion on Bald Hills Road this spring. Larkspur, irises and many other wildflowers are also going crazy up there.

Karin and I drove up Friday afternoon, and stayed until near sunset. The scent of the flowers was intoxicating. There was a gentle hum from wild bees, honeybees and other beneficial insects working the flowers. Barn and violet-green swallows swooped about, and lazuli buntings sang their hearts out.

I'm going up again next week to explore, take more photos, and perhaps do a little plein air painting.

Photos can also be viewed at my Picassa site.
