Last shot from the workshop: Wild Lupine

Copyright Nathan Montgomery, 2008

This is the last shot I'll post from the photography workshop I attended last week. The subject here is the wildflower known as lupine. I've already posted a few pictures I took of a domesticated variety of lupine. To me, the main virtue of this photograph is that this flower grows in the wild. I feel the same way about all of the wildflower images I've posted- I like all flowers, but I'm partial to those that got here without a hand from us.

Over the next few days, I'll post a few shots that I took after returning from the workshop.

Are the beautiful leaves also part of the same Lupine plant?

Dave, yes, and I agree with you. The leave are as impressive in this shot as the flowers. This image is cropped. When I took the shot, I actually wanted more leaves, but one leave was pretty mangy, and I had to cut it out.
