Columbine & Lupine (c) 2011 Patty Hankins
I’ve recently added a new photo – Columbine & Lupine – to my Beautifulflowerpictures.com website.
Colorado Blue Columbine (Aquilegia caerulea) and Silvery Lupine (Lupinus argentus) quickly became favorite wildflowers of mine on my trip to Colorado last summer. Let’s face it – I love purple – so discovering new wildflowers in wonderful shades of purple was wonderful. Late one morning I was driving along one of the roads in the Gunnison National Forest and I spotted some a group of Columbines and Lupines growing right next to each other. So of course – I had to stop and set up my tripod on the side of the road. I did get a few strange looks from people driving by – they couldn’t figure out why I stopped at that particular location – and pointed my camera where it was pointed (there were some beautiful trees just across the street). But I’m glad I did stop – I really like this combination of the Colorado Blue Columbine and Silverly Lupine. I hope you enjoy it as well.
This photograph is available as either a 12X15 or 20X26 ″ gallery-wrapped canvas. You can order Columbine & Lupine from my website and I will have it available at shows.
