one lucky lupine, upper left.
...the incredibly lush and colorful flowers collected from the Little Cranberry Island gardens the morning of Kaitlyn & Cory's wedding day. (When I spent time on Monhegan, I got to know the Island Gardener. She claims that the flowers on an island have a different intensity than mainland flowers, and that it has to do with the special richness of island soil and air which is caused by being surrounded by the sea. I believe it! ) And here's a bit of magic - the women who gathered the blooms found one lone lupine! You can see it in the fourth pic. This is highly unusual - lupines have all gone by by early July. We saw it as a lucky sign, and it was put into the bouquet for the bride & groom's table!
All these gorgeous photos were taken by Connecticut artist and architect, my cousin, Del Simmons.
