Last year I photographed this patch of wildflowers up on Route 1 and at the time I thought it would make an excellent background for a portrait. So I marked my calendar for this year so I would remember when they bloomed. My first two trips up to Route 1 this year I found that it was still closed due to late snow. So finally, the day after summer officially began, I made a trip up to Route 1 with Maria to photograph the “Spring” flowers. Maybe they should change the rhyme to “May showers bring June flowers.”
