Directions to the University of Wisconsin – Parkside campus and the Festival can be found on this map.
This is one of my newest botanical photographs, a delicate set of multicolored flowers. I photographed them in the culinary gardens at the University of British Columbia Arboretum in Vancouver while on my recent trip to the Pacific coast. This is one mighty fine arboretum and includes a historical Japanese garden as well as that beloved canopy walk on suspension bridges in the tops of the trees.
This will be one of many new photos available for the first time on Saturday.
I’d love to see you at the show if you’re in the area!
Blue Lupine in the Cascades
Mother Nature makes it really hard to drive on the back roads of Washington state. Every few yards along the sides of the roads are massive spreads of blue and purple lupine. When she wants to make it especially difficult to concentrate, she adds a few white or pink lupine into the mix. Occasionally there are yellow ones, too.
I finally pulled off the road to get my photography fix for the morning. We were driving from Seattle to Vancouver — shouldn’t have been all that difficult, seeing as it is only a two hour drive. But we were already a day behind our plans, since we had taken the turn off I-5 the morning before for a spontaneous detour through the North Cascades. But even being off schedule wasn’t a good enough reason to not stop. So stop we did.
The lupine were definitely worth the delay.
