Lupines come in many colors, though.

I see. Same family or whatever the correct word is. Ours are more purple than blue. I even have some just over my back glass wall. I do tend to spray some water on them when I water my many potted plants. Birds and flowers make me happy.

LOVE the second one, Patricia. We've never seen anything like that in our neck of the woods.

Nice photos everyone. Jim was right; the blue flower does resemble the bluebonnet, Texas’ state flower. I used to see entire hills and the roadsides covered with them while on my travels to Texas each spring.

When you’re in Hawaii it’s all about beaches, sunsets, volcanoes and viewing sea life…

A view of the Pololu shoreline which required hiking a steep and very slippery trail.

Wow. The dark rocks are perfectly exposed. I don't think I could have done that. My favorite.

Thanks Patty. This photo was taken with my Nikon Coolpix P7700 p&s. If nothing else, I’ve always been impressed with its dynamic exposure range.

Now I'm going to want a new camera. I know your talent has more to do with it than the camera.

Our three grandchildren enjoying a sunny spring day together.

(The two older ones are brother and sister. The youngest one is their cousin.)
