| My Alphabe Thursday theme -- The Dude, The Husband |
The flower voluntarily chose to grow by the side of our driveway. It's the first lupine ever to grace our yard, so, of course, I had to record it.
I had a difficult time getting the right angle because of bright sunny day. I tried casting a shadow on the lupine, but when I bent over to take a photo, there went my shadow. Then, the Husband was suddenly by my side, admiring the purple beauty.
"Would you please put your shadow on it so I can take a photo?"
The Sweet Husband did.
I'm a fortunate woman, I am.

The lupine is lovely. I'm happy your reliable husband was there to help you!
ReplyDeleteMe, too. :-)
DeleteLovely shot! Of course, here in Texas we call it the Texas Bluebonnet!
ReplyDeleteThanks, Sarah Beth. I learned down below from Jim that the Lupine and Texas Bluebonnet are cousins.
DeleteAh, the lupine and the Texas Bluebonnet! I always thought those two were twins! A lovely shot and an extra reliable hubby! A good man , have a great weekend!
ReplyDeleteThank you, Anne. You, as well. :-)
DeleteIt's soooo pretty, Susie. I would have called it one of OUR Texas Bluebonnets also. But it can't be because you live in California So I asked "Yahoo answers" if there was a difference. They satisfied me with this answer:
ReplyDelete"Best Answer: The Texas Bluebonnet is Lupinus texensis, so it is a type of Lupine. The species is native to Texas. (There are actually several species of bluebonnet, but L. texensis is generally "the" Texas Bluebonnet) " which means yours probably is NOT a Texas Bluebonnet but rather it is another species of Lupines.
Hope this helps, Dr. Jim

Thanks, Dr. Jim. Now, I must go see a picture of a Texas Bluebonnet....Ah, I see how they can be mistaken for each other. The lupine is slender while the Texas Bluebonnet is fuller. I love learning something new. :-)
DeleteBeautiful! It's a blessing to be married to a supportive spouse, like you and I are. Blessings, my friend!
ReplyDeleteVerily, Arnoldo. Thank you!

Soon, Carol, your spring will be here and the snow will be "what snow?"
DeleteExcellent pic - excellent shadow!
ReplyDeleteIt was by chance when I first bent over that I realized shade was what I needed. I'm grateful the Husband didn't walk in the house after putting his bike away.
