Lupines along the highway

When I was about 21, I worked as a bank teller in downtown Vancouver. I recall an American tourist coming in to cash some travelers cheques and asked if I would add a postcard she had written to our outgoing mail. Of course I read the postcard which expressed her amazement at the wildflowers she saw along the highways in Canada. Almost a half century later, we can still brag about wildflowers on the side of our highways.

These Lupines were photographed at the intersection of Tyner boulevard and Highway 16 and is one of a number of areas around town that boast a prolific display of lupine.
