I went to a National Wildlife Refuge and the Lupine were in full display. I went there for sunset but the best color was after the sun went down. The twilight color and clouds came many photo ops for the next 30 minutes. The full moon was also a little bonus.

Beautiful John. The full moon peeking out from behind the cloud is a bonus. It jumps right out and I noticed it before I read your description. What a peaceful scene.

What a wonderful time of year with such a profusion of wild flowers to enhance the view! A lovely image John.

I think I would like this better compositionally with about 20% of the sky cropped off. I love the colors and subject.
