Lupine Madness
The Weyerhauser fields are in full bloom now. Took an impromptu trip up to road to get a few images...

Very cool, Joe. I didn't even know these were there. I'd always gone for the Rhododendron Species Foundation gardens and that was before Lupine season started.

Very nice. Where are these?

Nice Joe! Looks like a good day too. I need to take a quick trip there and check it out.

Really gorgeous lush blooms, I love the vivid colors. Excellent job on all Joe!

Thank you all. I'm hoping to get back there and catch some magic hour light if I can!
Steve, let me know when you plan to come down. If it's a Sunday or Monday, maybe we could meet up.

Marylynne, this is in Federal Way at the Weyerhauser headquarters. They also have a large rhodie garden. They plant these fields with different varieties of lupines. Pretty cool for being right up the road from my place!

Nice shots, Joe. The blooms are looking prime, for sure. Hopefully they'll hold up in the rain so a few more of us can get a decent chance with them. Thanks for the report and the show!
