Wild Lupines

I stumbled upon a field of Lupines and what a sight it was. Proud spikes swaying in the morning breeze poking their colorful heads above the wild grasses and Oxeye Daisies, delicate Fleebane Queen Anne’s Lace, Hawkweed and St. John’s Wort, Large Bluets and Buttercups galore all mixing in a meadowy display showing off their beauty in a Summertime way that gave me pause and made me realize how Nature’s randomness of flowers and vines and bushes and trees create the most amazing magnificence where every living thing sits side-by-side, never competing never complaining, never repeating comely and divine, a work of art sublime that would all change come tomorrow but today this was all mine.

I have seen lupines and the joyful image you create compliment them well! Like the daffodils of Wordsworth!

I have never heard of Lupines but you have penned them in such a delightful way that I am heading to the Internet now.

Caren! Thank you! I grew up with them in fields of summer -- and I have even found them growing wild here in California. All best to you -- Gregory
