Some Texas wildflowers
Apr 10, 2019 22:53:09 #
We recently took a little road trip over to the town of La Grange, TX. I had seen only a few scattered bunches of bluebonnets, the TX state flower, and Indian paintbrush in the Houston area. However, in the area around La Grange, there were large groups of both flowers. This was the first time in several years that I actually had an opportunity to get out and photograph these beauties. Only problem was, the wind was blowing like crazy, making it kind of tricky to get good sharp images. However, by waiting patiently for the wind to slow down sometimes, I was able to get several keepers. Posting five images. Comments welcome and I hope you enjoy.

I took 71 to Austin weekend before last & noticed the flowers showing up. Terrible light for the entire trip, looks like you fared better. Nice, bright images.

👍👍 These bluebonnets look very similiar to Lupine found in the northwest growing wild at higher elevations.

Beautiful! We saw them last year in their full glory southeast of Fort Worth at Ennis. Their bluebonnet festival was a couple days later and it rained, so we lucked out. I understand this year's bloom is just as gorgeous!
