Bluebonnets

The Texas state flower is the Bluebonnet. It is this beautiful blue/purple flower that is a lot like lupin. In the spring, they stop mowing the medians and shoulders of the roads so that the bluebonnets and other wildflowers can grow. As you drive, especially toward hill country, there are large areas of these flowers. It is a big deal for Texans to go get their kids pictures taken in a field of bluebonnets, and why not..they are very pretty flowers. I have noticed a couple of pretty patches of flowers along the road to our property. Yesterday, I stopped and we took some pictures of the kids in the the flowers.

Unfortunately, at this point, the batteries in my camera died, and I had only had 2 minutes notice. Oh well, I'm sure there is always next week, we'll be going to the same spot.
