Farmall tractor and a bunch of flowers from a different road than I usually take. Hope you enjoy.
I've been shooting this old Farmall tractor for years but never from this angle.

This was the most mixed field of flowers that I've seen.

Almost white bluebonnets.

We call it a morning primrose. Don't know if that's the real name but it does OK for me.

At first I thought this was a field of the Aggie Maroon bluebonnets but when I stopped and got a closer look, I haven't a clue what they are.

Nice shots!
When the light blue “blues” take over, can we still call them bluebonnets?

Stan, that's a good question. We actually have wild pink ones, white ones, and a new one developed by the Texas A & M staff that is a deep maroon for the Aggie colors.

Hitler was elected by the people and this one seems just as crazy to me.

Fine shots of a hole in the wall fine eating establishment. Just my kind of place.

These were in a field about a quarter mile from my house. The light blue bluebonnets are getting more and more common. Bonus skipper on the last flower.

Way to far to walk so it couldn't be a walk about. Here are a few from earlier in the week.
A little patriotic view with this shot. I know it had to take a lot of work to get this done. It is beautiful though.

I hope I'm right on this identification. A morning primrose in with the bluebonnets.

This little white flower was twisted up with the bluebonnet. When the wind blew they swayed in unison.

GBH walking on the far side of this pond. Last year the bank was covered in bluebonnets.

The red, white, and blue of Texas. Lots of people trying to get a shot of this view.

The longhorn breed, long a symbol of Texas. Here are a few I found on the Ennis Bluebonnet Trails yesterday.
A pair in the bluebonnets near a pond. Lots of people around photographing these. Maybe 40 or so. Didn't disturb them a bit.

Longhorns start to get their horns early. Look closely at the calf.

Seems they like to lay around a lot, but I guess in a small pen there's not much to do.

This one got up a few seconds after I shot this photo.

This longhorn cow must have had an itch. She used her horn to scratch the inside of her hind leg.

Just a few random shots from over the years.
Probably shouldn't have tried one of these but it was delicious. Cooked in a hut off the Rio Dulce river on one of our cruises down south.

While I did get a few snatches of the sun through heavy clouds I found that there were other things going on around me. First it got deathly silent. We were miles out in the country visiting kids so no city sounds. The birds which were singing before the eclipse got quieter then totally silent during the totality phases. The other thing I noticed was what this one little flower was doing. I thought it might close so I took a series of photos of it. Not great quality but when it got darker it was not conducive to great focus.

If anyone thinks that there can truly be peace in that part of the world, they must be from another planet.
