Today someone asked me if Pearl Lake still had lupine blooms, so tonight after work I drove out to see. Like most areas, many of the lupines are past full bloom but you can still find lupine plants that are just starting to bloom. Although the patches across the road from the lake that had the variety of colors are mostly all past.

We're sending a 2011 Lupine Festival Tour Book to the 250th person that likes the facebook page (and since they are receiving it after the Festival has finished, . . . we'll add a pound of Harman's Really-Aged Cheddar.

Even Harman's has a late blooming white Lupine. As you can see by the photo our other lupines are going to seed.

Lots of other blooms in the area, too!

Brad Bradstreet came through Sugar Hill today and he's a good photographer (and better at posting his photos on facebook than I am), so I'm borrowing a few of his facebook photos taken on Hadley and Dyke roads to show you June 20th in Sugar Hill. If you like photos of Maine, Mt. Washington (summit and all), NH, and more - befriend Brad on Facebook and you won't be disappointed.

On Sunday (19th), Brad Bradstreet did the sunrise drive up Mt. Washington. He had a perfect day for it. On his way back down (because you drive up in the dark) he took these photos of the Lupines at the base of the Mt. Washington Auto Road.
