My husband Tom & I were photographing the lupine in Sugar Hill this weekend. The rain kept the bugs & ticks at a minimum and provided some nice water droplets on the flowers & leaves. I even have some photos where you can see the rain coming down and the flowers. The Sugar Hill field (wooden wagon wheel) is running late, less than 25% of the flowers are in bloom and most are still short. Further down Rt 117 (fields of St. Matthews Church before Polly's Pancake Parlor, a MUST) there are lots in bloom on both sides of the road. Sat am on the way to Sugar Hill we also saw two bald eagles right on Rt 302 perhaps 3 miles outside Woodsville (one was on the post and the other on a duck's nest in the field, left side, going away from Woodsville). We had a good time and the rain provided nice even light and great water droplets (you can see the flower and sky reflections in the water droplets). We took lots of photos, attached is one macro shot. I'll try to post another overall flower field
shot. The flowers are not peak yet, so if you have been toying with the idea of going -- it's worth it! Lisa

Wow! Lisa this is spactacular. The water droplets are so sharp. Perfect light. Well done. I'm heading over there tomorrow, not sure I'll get nice light until later in the day.

I really like this shot. It is well composed and exposed.
