Lovely to see this lupine so bright and flourishing on the side of the road in Joshua Tree, Janet. I saw lots of fresh lupine foliage while there earlier in early March, and then it got covered by snow, so I am glad the flowers popped out and flagged you down. Terrific photo.
Thanks, Jet. My only regret is that I didn’t bring my Nikon on this trip because I figured it was just a short weekend and I wasn’t planning any side trips. I guess that means I’ll have to go back again. Lol. Lupine are so beautiful.
If I’d been on the 10, I couldn’t have done it but as this was in Joshua Tree National Park and it wasn’t terribly crowded at that moment, I could do it safely. It’s so sad to see the perfect shot and not have anywhere to pull over to take it!! 🙂
What a great picture.
Thanks very much.

I agree! It is beautiful!
Thanks, Aletta.
Marvellous photo 📸👌
Thanks very much, Marinela, and thanks for taking time to comment as well as visit. Always appreciated.

Those are! Great view behind them as well. I do love Lupine.
I do too. Most years spring in the Big Horns means lots and lots of lupine, a gorgeous sight.
💜💚
Aren’t they just! What a contrast to the colours around them
A beautiful contrast.
Well spotted!
Hard to avoid. 🙂 I kept pulling over for photos but I did take care with this one since I didn’t want to be hit by a car.
Glad to hear!
Lovely. 🙂 We’ve got the bluebonnets in full bloom here. They always seem to thrive right off the highways.
Isn’t it amazing how flowers can grow almost anywhere? I’ve seen photos of the bluebonnets and they’re spectacular.

beautiful indeed. that part of the US is one of my favourites.
There’s certainly much beauty there. Thanks, klara.

They sure are! 💜
It was a joy to see, Nancy.
I love lupine, too, Janet! They grow wild on our property but we’ll have to wait until May to enjoy them.
If you lived in the desert, I guess you’d get them sooner. 😁. The mountains in Wyoming get them May or later.
Fab shot. You really like roving around!
I could have spent much longer there and hopefully will one of these days.
Yup, they definitely are 🙂
I’m always amazed where flowers will grow.
I love driving on the highways this time of year. The hard part is stopping safely in the perfect spot. Well done.
