lovely, but not the same

Walking down the Peregrine Trail a few other flowers tried to catch my attention.

But I was on a mission: a twilight walk to see the purple fields of amazing lupine again this year.

pano across lake, fields of lupine on the other side too

The hike was lovely, but it's not the same, as I didn't have the good view between the ears! Though I was able to get up close to a few lovely flowers, and a couple of beasts too.

lupine: other colors are available

this big guy was crossing the trail and almost got squished!

tons of fuzzy caterpillars this year

Later I paid some attention to Major, who was more interested in the fact the irrigation wheelbarrow had some leftover snacks on the bottom.


He got to snack, and I made a wish soon to be back on the trail, maybe with a view of lupine from between brown ears.

    1. Thanks! The other color doesn't show up as often (the 2-tone is lovely), there is also a pure yellow. I wonder what other regions have?
