These photos were all taken one sunny afternoon as I walked home from doing the tour of gallery openings in town. 
All colors of lupines are out. A few days ago I saw only blue ones. I had not noticed before that the blue ones come first.
Here’s a view of lupines on a bluff above a low tide. 
No, that is not a dark sky, its shore and water. The picture is a little dark, however. It turned out the battery was running low on my camera. But I got one more nice photo before it quit. 
With so much natural color in the world, why should anyone bother to make ugly art?
