John these photos are beautiful. I was totally wrong on the yellow(oops) that's what I get for guessing flowers... not my strong point obviously.. the bird was an adult perigrine Falcon..
I really like the lupines. So beautiful. They always make me think of the children's book "Miss Rumphius" about the lady that scatters lupines everywhere to help beautify her environment. They truly are beautiful flowers and you are lucky to see so many!
My books are hot off the presses at Blurb! Take a sneak peek and place your order if you're so inclined by clicking on the cover photo above. An eBook version for download to your iPad or iPhone is now available in the iTunes store.
I live in Lewiston, Maine and have for most of my life. I've always had an interest in nature; as a kid I read books by Edwin Way Teal, Rachael Carson, among others, and I used to love studying the Golden Nature Guides. When I got into photography it was natural for me to take pictures of the natural world. A few years ago I got into kayaking and that allowed me to get to places I would never be able to by hiking and of course this gives me more photography oppurtunities. I realized years ago you don't have to travel to exotic locations to get good photographs. I have to admit I'm lucky to be living in a beautiful state with a lot of natural diversity, but I've taken good pictures right in my own back yard and neighborhood.

The Lupines are just beautiful John! I have some new ones in my garden...will have to wait until next year to enjoy them.
Have a great weekend!
Hooray! I've been waiting for your lupine shots, which more than put my to shame. So lovely!
