Blue Lupine Abstract

Blue Lupine Wildflowers in North Cascades National Park in Washington State

Lupine Abstract © 2010 Bo Mackison

While looking through my files for a few photographs to print for my upcoming art show, I accidentally popped open the catalogue of the photos  from the Pacific Northwest trip I took earlier this summer, and this abstract of a blue lupine opened on my screen. I was rather taken with the deep purple and blue botanical abstract on the green background.

It seems like only a few weeks ago I was knee deep in bright blues and greens, and now, suddenly, the world is shifting, taking on different shades – more muted, warmer colors — yellows and oranges — replacing the brightness of summer’s peak. So I wanted to share a reminder with you of this past early summer as we pitch headlong into autumn.

    That is a very nice blend of summer colors. I will savor it for awhile: I’m really not ready yet for Fall.

    I’m with Montucky. Let’s savor every drop of summer while it’s here (and then on to skiing). 🙂
