Looks like we will have a good wildflower season this year! I drove south this morning and found a bunch of fields with wildflowers in 'em. It's early yet, but this is a nice start. Not many Texas Bluebonnets yet but I did find a few.

Enjoy!

Lauren

    Lucky you. We're in "swamp season" at the moment - melting snow = thawing ground = mud, and lots of it.

    The good news? Temperatures are rising and there's spring in the air.

    Thanks for sharing spots of colour.:D

    Oh Lauren--I really like #1 and #2.

    Funny how you caught the truck as part of 1--seems fitting. What I remember about TX highways are the ridiculous speed of the vehicles, the beautiful wild flowers on the side of the road and the trucks baring down on me.

    #2 is a favorite with the white fence in the background.

    Hope you are able to get more--these really brought back some nice memories.

    Hi Lauren,

    Looks like ya'll might have a good " crop " of flowers this year. I hope so...I'm anxious to see more.

    Thanks, everyone. I plan to be out every day I can over the next few weeks, so I hope to have more wildflowers to share with you. I finally got my replacement tripod part today, so I can shoot in lower light and maybe catch some nice fields at sunrise.

    Yes, Ceci, the same tripod! It worked with Dixie's fix until about 3 months ago. It's taken this long, with multiple emails and on-line chats, to convince the manufacturer that something was wrong. They finally asked for pictures, which I sent right away--I got a return email saying "That's a broken center column" and they were sending me a replacement part. It arrived yesterday! I would go out and test it today . . . . . . . but it's raining!

    I don't mind the rain, it means more wildflowers!! But it doesn't do much for the contractor who's putting in my new retaining wall!! Arghhhhhhhh!
