Dewdrops on Lupines

The annual blossoming of lupine wildflowers is about a month early this year due to a warm spring. A damp foggy morning is always a great time to photograph flowers and it was indeed a special treat to focus on these beauties as dew drops formed tiny globes that hung from the colorful blossoms.

The amazing lupine actually creates fertilizer and improves soil for other plants by taking nitrogen from the atmosphere and making ammonia via a rhizobium-root nodule system.

God creates functionality and purpose within all of His beautiful creation.
