Springtime

Brushing the Azure Expanse

We just had our first significant freeze and snow of the year. So, why am I posting wildflower photos? Knowing Texas weather, I am confident — in the same vein a weather forecaster is — we will see new wildflowers way before mid-February.

Springtime in Texas is allergy season. The same is true for winter when cedar pollen is high. With the right amount of rain in the fall, we can be assured of an excellent wildflower display on the fields and roads across the state, such as the ones I captured at Willow City Loop. I don’t know if that will be the case this year. We will have bluebonnets, Indian paintbrushes, Texas Stork’s Bill, and other wildflowers, but they will likely not be in large expanses.

Texas Stork’s Bill

That’s the story behind the shots. If you liked these photos, you might also be interested in other posts featuring Bluebonnets, FOTD, Indian Paintbrush, Texas, Texas Stork’s Bill, Wildflowers, and Willow City Loop. Until the next time, keep clicking and capturing the beauty your eyes find.

    Lovely to see a foretaste of your spring, especially as ours still feels some way off!

      Thanks, Sarah. I hope my “forecast” comes true. The cold in the last couple of weeks and this week’s snow are enough for this winter. Texas has short winters.
