June 30, 2011. Western Head, NS. Lupines.

The lupines are beautiful right now.  Ever since  the middle of Maine we have seen them everywhere on both sides of the highway and in front of the homes.   They have stayed with us ever since.  New Brunswick fields are loaded with them, but Nova Scotia takes the cake as the province with the most plentiful and vibrant lupines.    Texas had a poor season for wild flowers due to the drought but Nova Scotia is making up for our lack of wild flowers in the south.

Today we drove to the cottage, then to Bridgewater and finally home along the shore.  The lupines were with us all along the way.   Blue, purple and pink blossoms can be seen all along the highways.  It was an unforgettable sight.
