texas in the spring

ah, springtime. in texas, springtime means, in part, the short-lived beauty of bluebonnets. these gorgeous wildflowers on bloom and stay in bloom for a fairly short period of time. but beware when they are out, drivers slow down, families stop to take pictures, and everyone seems a little bit happier :)

this year was my first experience in seeing them in full bloom. in the past, i have only seen the last few or first few but missed the grand experience. we stopped on the way back from college station a couple of weeks ago, and i took a few shots. none of us though because we were not exactly ready for a photo session...maybe another time.
