In the fields
and in the woods
by the water.

Do you see the foxgloves
in the last two photos?
Pink
& white,
they are hiding.

I gasped when we came upon
the wild expanse of lupin.
It so reminds me of Miss Rumphius
("The Lupin Lady has been here!").

These photos do not do it justice.

    Miss Rumphius is my favorite children's book. It probably helped that my childhood home was next to a field of lupin. My philosophy of life is based on that story...

    Before I even scrolled down to see what you had written, I thought of Miss Rumphius!

    that is beautiful with the lupines - ours are almost over, but they grow in large swathes along the sides of the freeway here. and yes, i spot the pretty foxgloves amongst the trees!
