Dear Bernard, Your albums are great. As you know,there are only cement towers erected up to the sky in Hong Kong. As a Hong Kong resident, I can seldom see such beautiful sceneries as you present. Your photos really can refresh the spirits of many people like me who live in big crowdy city. Francis Hoyip/Hong Kong

I am from the Caribbean where we have wonderful flowers. I first Lupines when I studied in Canada 20 years ago. It was love at first sight. Your album was a blessing. Great photos. It appears that the photos were taken in the same general location which makes the variety of colours even more remarkable. Please keep up the good photo work.

Hello Bernard. Amazing colorful album. Thanks for your kind words on my "Frost" cc entries. I have uploaded some new albums from Iceland. If you have the time, please stop for a visit, and let me know what you think. Have a great holiday season. Regards, Nurit

Beautiful album. I take photos of wild lupines here in Washington State. We have many species, perhaps 25-30, maybe more. The garden centers sell Russell lupins.

said jlcummins 10 months 24 days ago

Well done album Bernard and the colour of the Lupins is superb, are they considered a noxious plant like our Patterson's Curse, it also is lovely to look a but will take over a pasture in no time if not checked...Hugs, Shirley

said mauritzbackman 11 months 15 days ago

Hello Bernard, thank you for sharing this exceptional album. From your description above, it sounds as though lupines may be considered a nuisance - but they are far from an eyesore. Thank you again for your visit as well. Have a great day, Chris

said christianchen 11 months 17 days ago

Whether they are a noxious weed or not, they are so very pretty, and your photos of them are so good, as usual.

As a child, Miss Rumphius listens to her seafaring grandfather’s tales about his life. She resolves to travel the world and, when she is old, find a place to live next to the sea. Her grandfather tells her that is all very well, but she must also find a way to make the world more beautiful. Miss Rumphius chooses a life that does not fit the stereotypical models for women’s lives. She does not marry and have children, nor does she cook and sew or worry about her appearance. Instead she travels the world, experiencing different cultures and environments. After injuring herself getting off a camel, she settles down to live next to the sea. Her final goal in life, making the world more beautiful, is the one she finds most difficult to achieve. She stumbles on her particular way of achieving this aim by accident. Lupins she has planted scatter their seeds and beautify her neighborhood. The joy she takes in the spreading lupine flowers suggests to her a way she can make the world more beautiful – scatter lupine seeds wherever she walks. The book is written from the point of view of Miss Rumphius’s niece, who is inspired by Miss Rumphius to live a life that leaves the world more beautiful, just as Miss Rumphius was inspired by her grandfather. Warm Regards, Tom

said jac707 2008.06.29 at 19:29:48 PDT

Beautiful Lupins, excellent photos!

said plegolas 2008.06.29 at 09:16:48 PDT

They are so beautiful. Your paragraph, however, has a 'but' that is not completed!! I imagine that it is saying that lupins are a nuisance weed or something like that, am I right? I don't think they are considered as such in the Maritimes here, yet.

said annie1931 2008.06.26 at 07:27:32 PDT

This is one of my favorite flower albums in the whole webshots. I'm surprised I never saw it sooner.

said LizaLady 2008.06.05 at 21:20:29 PDT

SPECTACULAR!! Wish I was there in person! Have you ever read the story of the Lupin Lady? She wanted to make the world a better place so she went around sowing Lupin seeds. I think she succeeded! Will our photos be what makes the world a better place once we are gone? Hmmm, I wonder...

said terisuz 2008.05.16 at 20:06:03 PDT

Hello Bernard: I just had to view this dynamite album full screen via Desktop. As you're in my WS friend list, that was possible. I'd LOVE to have an opportunity to feed these gems to my camera. Unfortunately they're not indigenous to my region. I can only hope I can find them grown horticulturally somewhere, but it wouldn't be the same as open fields of them. Anyway, you certainly did these gorgeous specimens justice with your expertise. Have a super holiday season. Merry Christmas & Happy New Year from Ron.

BERNARD, I LOVE LUPINS AND SO IT'S ESPECIALLY WONDERFUL TO SEE THEM FOR THE SECOND SEASON THIS YEAR!! I'll probably download all 22 photos, if that's OK? Lovely album! Thank you, Leslie

said bisquitzoe 2007.12.19 at 23:32:49 PST

Lupins are one of my absolute favourites! Love your black mattes, look so classy. Will probably download many of these, Bernard. I know this is an older album but I still appreciate it greatly! Leslie

said bisquitzoe 2007.12.06 at 11:47:15 PST

Well, you've done it again, Bernard! Beautiful lupins. In Atlantic Canada lupins grow wonderfully around the month of June. When I was on the South Shore in September, there was one lupin blooming all alone by the roadside - an unheard of occurrence in September! I laugh at my pic of my lonely lupin, and revel in your scads of them.

said annie1931 2007.12.05 at 07:10:35 PST

Hello Bernard!! Well, I'm not surprised...another spectacular album! I see this is an older album that you've been updating, but I must've missed it before. I'm surprised because I love lupines...they're one of my top three favorite flowers. Unfortunately, I have no luck growing them, but I love to look at them! Thanks for a dash of Spring, as we settle into another dreary winter here in the Midlantic region of the US. Hugs, Linda in Maryland, USA

said lindaglenn62 2007.11.30 at 17:23:42 PST

Bernard! How did I ever miss this album. It's absolutely brilliantly smashing!!! I love it...Lupines are one of my favorites and pinks and purples are my absolute favorite colors and this album is full of them..what a wonderful wonderful colorful Lupine Ablum!!!! Hugs, Kelli

said kellimays 2007.03.24 at 22:51:22 PDT

These are so pretty, and come in so many colors. You've really captured them with your photography. Thanks for sharing their beauty with all us here at WS. Gloria from Oregon

Hi Bernard, I just came across your beautiful album of Lupins, they are hard to beat with so much color. You photographed them very well. Take care, Sandy

Hi Bernard, thanks for your comments in my Arrowtown guestbook. You have so many aweseome albums! This one in particular brings back so many memories of NZ over Xmas! I lived in In'gill for many many years and the lupins around the south island at that time of year are spectacular, especially in the Arrowtown riverbeds! Cheers, Sharon, Brisbane Australia

said smath101 2006.05.05 at 01:02:02 PDT

Hi Bernard, Wow, you were quick in answering and thank you. This is one gorgeous album. Would you believe I have one little pot of lupines in my kitchen window that I grew from seed last year and nursed it through our winter. And you have it growing wild along your roadsides in such glorious profusion. In case you haven't heard of the webshot users group, I would like to relay this URL and invite you to join in. One of first and most active members is a very talented lady from NZ by the name of Ella. http://uk.groups.yahoo.com/group/thewebshotsusergroup/

said debkd 2006.04.12 at 19:38:35 PDT

Hi Bernard now this is a nice album, those wild lupins has to be some of the nicest flower growing in the wild, we also have many lupins growing around here field of them growing wild just gorgeous. Very nice job you did, also thanks for the invite, i have except it thanks . also thanks for sharing this beautiful album great color great shots.. your new friend Jean

said jac707 2006.03.18 at 19:04:34 PST

Hello Bernard, many thanks for you visit to my local "Treescapes" album. I was immediately attracted to this album of yours as I was brought up a few miles away from the nursery that Mr Russell developed the strain. People used to come for miles around to view the fields. These look healthy at side of road, over in UK there is now a virus attacking them & they do not last long, I had a few in my gdn but now they are dying off, just the odd seedling comes up now. I was hoping to tour NZ soon but wife will not fly that far, my Son worked for 10 weeks in Aukland & had 5 days in Cookstown when the job was over, he wants to go back with his wife now. Eric

said ericy202 2006.03.03 at 08:54:04 PST

Hi, Thanks for the kind words in my guestbook. This is such a beautiful album. I was very suprised to see the last picture, it is hard to imagine such lovely flowers growing beside the road. I imagine that it was quite a beautiful site to see. Thanks so much for sharing your pictures with us. Cynthia

Hi, are these lupins in a natural or have they been planted? Either way, they are beautiful.
