Bluebonnets!

I hopped in my car and drove 2 miles to this lovely Bluebonnet patch by our high school. We had 14” of rain in March so I knew the flowers would be beautiful. The grass was as tall as the Bluebonnets but the scene was still calming to me. Because no one is out and about they were not trampled at all along the street. No one else was there, I was there and back in 10 minutes!

What a beautiful sight - well worth the drive there and back

@beryl considering the beautiful fields of Bluebonnets in the Texas Hill Country are 3-4 hours away I am thrilled to have this little patch so close.

Wow, this is a gorgeous shot. Love the fence in the middle of it all. Will you remind me where in Texas you are?

[Lou Ann]

@sunnygirl we live in North Texas, actually 26 miles north of Dallas (seems everyone knows where Dallas is, ha!)

[Mallory]

@louannwarren Oh, ok! I grew up visiting Waco before it became famous. And Richardson. I really miss Texas!

Well worth your trip in the car! We don’t have these Blue Bonnets as far as I know unless we call them by another name....they sound a very lovely American icon flower.

@beryl @joansmor @ludwigsdiana @kwind @mittens @ingrid01 @pcoulson @cindymc @gijsje @carolmw @happypat @koalagardens @jacqbb @gilbertwood @pdulis @olivetreeann @milaniet @danette @happysnaps @ziggy77 thank you so much for your lovely comments and faves. The Bluebonnet is the Texas State Flower and it’s a tradition to take photos of them in the spring every year. @pcoulson Peter, we have not been rigidly confined to our homes yet. We can drive to our exercise trails, grocery and drug stores. I was taking a chance that there wouldn’t be anyone else looking at the flowers. If there had been, I would have come home. It felt so good to get in my car and drive those two miles. 😊

Nature continues as if nothing is amiss! So peaceful to see! Fav
