2012 Lupine Festival

The 2012 Lupine Festival in Sugar Hill, NH is almost here. This years festival will be here from June 1-17, 2012.

This is one of my favorite times of year.  Being a little bit of a shutterbug I enjoy going out early in the morning to photograph these beautiful flowers.  I will be running a few tours here once the flowers are in bloom.  I have my favorite places to go and sometimes a little extra driving and planning makes it all worth it.

Be sure to stop by Harman's Cheese Shop to purchase a Lupine Festival Guide.  Thsi guidebook has a map of where to see the Lupine Fields

Some highlights from this years festival can be found below:
