On one of my recent bike rides along the Brushy Creek Regional Trail, I enjoyed the results of some rain we had. Besides the creek having plenty of water (see a previous post), there were also several wildflowers. One, in particular, is very common along the trail: the Texas Skeleton Plant. I love that flower.
Naturally, one will find Drummond’s Rain Lily if there is rain.
Another wildflower growing everywhere at this time of the year is Horsemint or Lemon Beebalm. The colors and details in this flower always please my eyes.
Although I had my large camera in my backpack, I specifically used my Samsung S23 and shot in RAW.
That is the story behind the shots. If you liked this post, you might also be interested in others featuring Brushy Creek Regional Trail, Cellpic Sunday, FOTD, Horsemint, Round Rock, Texas, and Wildflowers. Until the next time, keep clicking and capturing the beauty your eyes find.

Lovely flowers, Egidio! I need to remember to switch to Pro mode more often now that Lightroom has some extra options for processing DNG files like Adaptive Color.

I got a screen shortcut for the Pro camera. That’s all I use now. I also added an auto import setting to apply adaptive color whenever I import new photos into LR.

The skeleton flower is one of my favorites, although I have to travel a good bit to find it. It’s quite common west of you, around the Kerrville/Fredericksburg area, and I’ll slam on the brakes multiple times a day if I sight it! The photo of the horsemint is lovely. Ours are fading now, but there still are a few nicely colored stems around.

Linda, what you just described is what I was doing while biking. I had not seen them this spring yet until late April early May. As for the horsemints, they are popping up everywhere now. Here at home, we planted a variety of it, another beebalm. It’s called wild bergamot. I’ll need to do a post about it soon.

All three of these flowers are beautiful but I especially love the delicate Rain Lily 🙂 Beautifully photographed too!

Thanks, Sarah. I love rain lilies. Every time I photograph one, I discover some new detail about it.
