Wes Lavin's Artistic Photographs of Lupine --- Sugar Hill Festival
Bob Jensen at Trinity University 

My friend Wes Lavin is a better photographer than me.
Firstly, he has better equipment than me.
Secondly he travels all over New England just to take pictures in different seasons.
Most of my photographs are closer to home, and I'm not really into photography
Wes is into photography as a retired school teacher

Below are some of artistic photographs Wes took of lupine in our wildflower field this year
 

Lupine --- https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lupinus

Lupinus, commonly known as lupin or lupine (North America), is a genus of flowering plants in the legume family, Fabaceae. The genus includes over 200 species, with centers of diversity in North and South America.[2] Smaller centers occur in North Africa and the Mediterranean.[2][3] Seeds of various species of lupins have been used as a food for over 3000 years around the Mediterranean[4] and for as much as 6000 years in the Andean highland,[5] but they have never been accorded the same status as soybeans or dry peas and other pulse crops. The pearl lupin of the Andean highlands of South America, Lupinus mutabilis, known locally as tarwi or chocho, was extensively cultivated, but no conscious genetic improvement other than to select for larger and water-permeable seeds seems to have been made. Users soaked the seed in running water to remove most of the bitter alkaloids and then cooked or toasted the seeds to make them edible,[6] or else boiled and dried them to make kirku.[7] Spanish domination led to a change in the eating habits of the indigenous peoples, and only recently has interest in using lupins as a food been renewed
