And I think Bryan and I found at least 3% of them along this creek.

Very nice. The single paintbrush is a nice touch. I wouldn't mind seeing just a little more room at the top right but that's a minor point. That's gotta be the largest single collection of lupine at Paradise this year.

Love the colors! I, too, would like a bit more at the top for better balance.

Thanks. We saw a few large clumps on the eastern side of the skyline trail, but that was about all she wrote.

Pretty much the only Lupine up there right now is right along the Skyline Trail about 500 feet downhill (towards the lower Paradise River crossing) from the intersection with the Lakes Trail, and then this clump down near the bridge on 706. Great year for Paintbrush though.

Nice image, I found very little lupine on the Sunrise side this weekend. Must be due to the fall rains or something?

I saw FIELDS of this stuff at Spray Park...

Beautiful shot Trevor.
