THE BLUEBONNET TRAIL • If you love flowers and landscapes as much as I do and have never seen a field of Texas Bluebonnets, it’s something you MUST SEE. Although I’ve lived in Texas before, I have never had the pleasure of seeing the Texas State flower like a blue blanket across a field of grass. My wife and I were talking one morning at breakfast and she suggested a trip from Houston to Austin to see these amazing blue beauties. Bluebonnets have been loved since man first trod the vast prairies of Texas. Indians wove fascinating folk tales around them. The bluebonnet is to Texas what the shamrock is to Ireland, the cherry blossom to Japan, the lily to France, the rose to England and the tulip to Holland. The most difficult part of our Bluebonnet Photo Safari was FINDING THEM! The Bluebonnet blooms in the early spring and can be readily found in fields and along the roadsides throughout central and south Texas, the problem is, their growth depends on many factors. This year we had a fairly dry spring so they were not as plentiful as years past. Now that I’ve seen them, NEXT YEAR 2012, I’m thinking about setting up BLUEBONNET PHOTO SESSIONS! Let me know if you’re interested so we can start planning and book your spot.











Finally, my wife told me take this photo above of the Longhorns turning their backs to me because she thought it was funny. She said we should post the caption, “WELCOME TO TEXAS, NOW GO HOME!” I just love her sense of humor.
