Bluebonnet Photo
I realize that bluebonnet season is well past but I just couldn't resist the urge to share this with my pals. This field is located adjacent to my church and I thought it was an exceptional view.

Re: Bluebonnet Photo
That's beautiful Ray, thanks for posting. Most of the bleubonnets here are going to seed. A few flowers are still blooming but the grass is now so tall you can't see the flowers unless you are standing in the middle of them.

Re: Bluebonnet Photo
Very pretty Ray. We have "bluegrass" here in Kentucky that's not really blue. Those Bluebonnets are BLUE!

Re: Bluebonnet Photo
WOW!, Ray. Beautiful field and photo. I can't say I witnessed it, but I recall years ago when Lady Bird Johnson received great praise for renewing wild flowers all over Texas. Such flowers make a great impact on the beauty of the land. Thanks for sharing.

Re: Bluebonnet Photo
Those are beautiful Ray. You don’t see fields of those growing here in Indiana. I’d love to see a field of these or Virginia Bluebells.

Re: Bluebonnet Photo
Beautiful Pic, Ray.
My mom and some of her friends (all around retirement age) used to go on trips / tours to see the wildflowers down around the hill country. They bought packets of wild flower seeds and threw the seeds along the roadways as they drove around. I believe the tours were part of Ladybird Johnson's wildflower efforts.
