Poison oak and Lupine... along the flume.

Good trout fishing on the flume but watch what brush you try to pull your lure out of! Lupine is ok... just thought I'd add it. TTC

That Lupine is beautiful--does it have a fragrance? And what is a "flume"?(sorry if that's a silly question)
Great pictures TerryC!

Dang it, I'm so allergic to that stuff that I'm itchy just having seen it!
Other than that I always enjoy your posts Terry.
Be well. -Ben

Thanks Ben and Creek. The Lupine grows everywhere over here. A FLUME is an artificial CREEK. It brings water to the town of Murphys. It was built to bring water to the miners around 1850 or so. This IS the middle of GOLD country! The water comes from Way up in the Sierras, where the snow is almost year-round. In the summer, the flume is a source of water fun, as you can see by the pics added from Judy's VAST collection. It is called FLUMING!! TTC
