Bluebonnets!!

Springtime and Bluebonnets in Southeast Texas is amazing after a wet winter! Some years the wildflowers aren't' that great, but this year they are amazing! When we were first married we lived in Austin and I was blown away with how beautiful the wildflowers were. I grew up in West Texas and always knew Bluebonnets were the State Flower but never "got it" until we moved to Austin. They are simply beautiful! For the past several years our children have learned that when mom says it's time to go find the bluebonnets you just do it. No complaining, just smile and put up with mom!
This year we actually were very limited on when we could go take pictures. Between Eyn and Elizabeth working and Elizabeth leaving to go back to school we barely found a few hours free on a Saturday afternoon to go take pictures. We drove about an hour away to Brenham where they just seem to be the best. We were not disappointed at our findings! I wish we would of had another hour to enjoy them!
