lupine – The Lens and I

Antidote

In a world of growing chaos and uncertainty

Beauty and order still reside in small corners.

Seek them out.

Two heads are better than one, so the saying goes.

This odd-looking lupine is about to find out.

Moral: There’s more than one way to get through life.

The lupine was thriving. Dozens of tall, lush, leaf-topped stems.

Then came a dump of wet spring snow.

Leaves and stems collapsed.

All but the smallest.

Sometimes it pays to keep your head down.

A light mist dripped over the garden the day before.

Nightfall and the temperature dropped.

By morning frost crystals, like salt grains, dot the lupine leaves.
