Texas bluebonnets




Bluebonnet season is here. A few furious, drenching storms have started to turn dry grass green and with the green come the bluebonnets. Beautiful blue wildflowers that grow in uncultivated fields, bluebonnets remind me of the lupine that blanket the hills of Salinas (CA) in the spring.
