Central California Artist in Texas, Chapter 6

N and I planned my visit to Texas around when she thought the bluebonnets would be in bloom. When she said the end of April, I thought, “Wow, that wildflower season is later than in Central California”. I was glad that it was later, because it meant I would be in Three Rivers through most of our green season and the wildflowers.

Alas, the bluebonnets peaked at the end of March. While I was disappointed, I couldn’t throw it all together to move my visit to a sooner date. I adjusted my expectations downward, knowing the main point of the trip was to see my friends.

Was I ever surprised by the greenery and the wildflowers!

There were bluebonnets, just not entire fields.
Winecups, in the poppy family. I also found a deep purple version but my photos were blurry.

I could go on and on about these wildflowers, but maybe you’re about Texased out. I might could* do another post, Things I Learned in Texas. I might oughta* do one. I might even be *fixin’ to do that.

*Texas speak, practicing so I don’t furgit.
