I can never seem to manage a truly ‘wordless’ Wednesday post, so I’ll try again to be brief.
I took these photos last week while vacationing in Lake Tahoe. This naturally occurring meadow was just a few miles from Tahoe City, and the Lupines and yellow Monkeyflowers were at their peak.
I was counting my lucky stars I had my Nikkon with me as I overheard someone mention there hasn’t been a bloom like this in years.

My son vacationed there this year and made no mention of wildflowers…do 20 somethings noticed these things?
The photo of the lupin against the blue of the lake is breathtaking…Kim
these photos are absolutely gorgeous. you can definitely add photographer to your growing list of talents.
One word… Glorious!
Thank you, Dori!
So lovely. I want to go there someday. We always see something so I guess the cameras should stay with us at all times. However, they are a bit heavy.~~Dee
I have been in Tahoe but in the winter, never saw anything like this!

Thanks Curbstone! It was truly breathtaking to stumble upon this – glad you enjoyed it!
Stunning doesn’t describe it, does it? Your second photo is wonderful, an entire ocean of lupine next to the lake. At least our El Nino years are good for something other than filling up the reservoirs. Stunning wildflower displays in the West! Makes me want to pack a bag and head for Tahoe!
