The last thing I want to do is usurp Ron Beasley’s traditional posting of beautiful photography, but just wanted to post a “Texas couple” of photographs.
One of them, the lead photo, is to brag about my grandson’s photography talents. He took that one at a nearby golf course at sunset. We had gone out to photograph some bluebonnet fields nearby, but it was a little too dark for that, but not for another fabulous Texas sunset.
The next three photos, below, taken by yours truly with a simple camera, are to brag, not about my photography skills — I have none — but rather about the gorgeous wildflowers that are so dazzling and abundant right now in the Texas Hill Country.
With plentiful rainfall in the winter and spring here, the famous Texas wildflowers — bluebonnets, Indian paintbrush, Texas buttercups, prairie wine cups, etc. — have come out in fantastic numbers and colors this April.
We traveled earlier this week to a wildflower seed farm near Fredericksburg where the following photos were taken.
Surprising to us, we discovered that this particular “farm,” Wildseed Farms, is one of the largest producers of the Red Poppy seed and well represented by the large, beautiful fields of poppies.
