There is so much beauty as the seasons change in Maine. Lilacs do really well here, but have just gone by. Now it is the turn of the wild lupins, lining every roadside in all their blue, pink and wihite glory. The lupin bed in my yard is coming along, but a bit pathetic at the moment. Lupins do not like to be moved and mine are showing it. These were seen near the library in Searsmont.
What I am really happy about is these Spanish Bluebells. They look glorious now and will multiply quickly as the years pass.
Yesterday I went kayaking on Trues Pond. These yellow water lilies (Nuphar microphylla) are just coming into bloom.
This male(?) loon is keeping a very close eye on me.
His behavior alerted me to the proximity of his mate on the nest. Once aware of it, I was careful not to get too close. She is panting in the heat.
This morning this pretty little Eastern (or Red Spotted - Notophthalmus viridescens) was crouching near my garden hose.
