Full Bloom

I had spent many days, years actually, obsessing over getting this shot! As a matter of fact, I had made the eight-hour drive on multiple occasions trying to time their peak bloom correctly. Failures only seem to fuel my desires to capture artwork as I see it within my vision. With each failed attempt, I am more aware that I am drawing closer to the moment that I am able to finally see my objective clearer with a definitive fruition. With a soft cool breeze blowing, the clouds began to catch the light of the dawning summer day. Birds all around were busy singing in the new morning light and I was now standing in a composition that I had meticulously found. Poised at the ready during peak bloom, I captured this absolutely stunning scene of lupine in this awe-inspiring setting tucked away in a quiet place few have ever seen.
