Great shot love the flowers
Mary MacADNski: The Island is famous for its fields of lupins at this time of year. They were just beginning last week.

Clearly your island is beautiful at this time of year, Mary.
Mary MacADNski: Clearly.
The lupins grow in huge numbers here. Gorgeous.
Mary MacADNski: Here too. This week they're at their peak.
Such an idyllic scene! Is your cat curled up on that red chair in the distance?
Mary MacADNski: This is not at my place. It is the area where I go walking.
Charming countryside place ...
Mary MacADNski: This is the area where I go walking. It is really beautiful.

Lovely framing.

I used to love to read the children's book Miss Rumphious (aka the lupine lady)by Barbara Cooney to my daughter when she was small. I think our hot and humid summers make growing lupines a difficult thing to do here in DC :-(.
Mary MacADNski: We had that book too. I may dig it out and give it to my grandchildren when they're here next month.

I had to look up 'lupin' and I guess they will be the plants with the purple flowers. Aparently another name is wolf's bean. Are they cultivated or just wild growth? Nice rural picture.
Mary MacADNski: I have some lupin shots queued up with a link to the wiki article. It's a short season that they're here but they ars very pretty on the roadsides. They are wild.

Now, mary.. have we enjoyed this view before, but earlier in the year? This seems to be a riot of colour now.
Mary MacADNski: This is the only time I've had this barn on SC and it is unrecognizable as such. I have had other barns though.

A beautiful and charming composition, Mary
Mary MacADNski: Thanks, Paul. More lupins next week.
Love lupins. I have this lovely childhood memory of standing amidst lupins and they being as tall as me and it being a sunny sunshiny day. Your lupin images have brought it back to me. smile
Mary MacADNski: Oh. what a lovely memory that is - to be surrounded bu colour. I'm happy I had a part to play in bringing it back.
I have just realised that this was your 600th posting. So a belated congratulationssmile
Mary MacADNski: No one else noticed, Bill. Thanks.
