Lupins by maggiemae

Lupins

Woke up to wind and high temps - my leg was hanging out of the bed all night!

Our trip from here to there was through a huge Mountain Pass and there were huge acres of brilliant coloured lupins on either side of the road!. Here a mob of sheep with lovely black faces were coming through and the line of lupins were in the background.
Three Good things:
1. Handled the situation of quails, rabbits and 2 late small camper vans who dared to interrupt our sleep.
2. I i did whistle at one of these people who dared to release body fluids into bushes ( not allowed nowadays) He didn’t even twitch an ear!
3. I wonder at our wonderful NZ scenery and now I’m relaxing with a G&T looking at a golf course in wild territory!
This is beautiful! The flowers and the sheep!

The sheep are beautiful in their own right but, boy!, does that purple in the background command attention!

What a wonderful photo. Sounds like quite a night. The animals can happen but the person that was doing that into the bushes is rather disturbing. What is G&T?

@darsphotos G&T is a gin and tonic, Darlene! Nothing to do with photography!

A gorgeous scene -I love the line of lupine growing across with the lovely sheep in the foreground . What a shame you failed to shame the person urinating in the bushes with your whistling -- perhaps you should have shone a light on him !! ha ha !!

@maggiemae I had no idea. A favorite drink of my husbands. Did not get the abbreviation. Thanks. I knew it had nothing to do with photography.

Love the colour of the lupins, epitomises the South Island. Curious to know which golf course you're at. I may have played it!

The lupins are amazing. I have been down there at this time of the year - I loved it.

I love lupins, they look good here all in a line along the edge of the field, great shot.

Love the "streak" of purple

I love the NZ countryside too. The Lupins look fantastic and the sheep look like they're on A Dog Show ;)

@kiwichick Well said, Lesley! But there was no dog. I just happened to notice the flock with their great black head and ears!
