Late Bloomer!

Every year at this time, I ride a certain logging road and I always see one or two BLOOMING lupine! It is sooo strange to see it. And pretty cool!

Well composed and taken, Christine. I like the oof road, sky and fall colors in the bg. Beautiful mix of seasons.

the muted fall colors in the bg really make the blue of the lupine pop. Nice job on this

Christine - Usually see Lupines only in Late Spring/Summer Months here. Very surprising indeed to see one during this time of the year.

I like how the fall colors in the background complement the blues in the Lupine which is placed dominantly in the frame.

What a splendid background (or main subject?), Christine. A hint of fall and a beautiful photo.
Take care.

Very nice bokeh of unfocused elements in the background. Beautiful color and light, too. Very well done.
