This has been a great year for Bluebonnets and Indian Paintbrush, and our front field is a sea of color. As storm clouds moved in Friday evening, I grabbed my camera to get my first pictures of 2019 blooms. Considering this is supposed to be a hay field, these flowers are what most farmers would call weeds, but I can't bear to mow them down. I just wonder how much better they are going to look in a few days after two days of rain.
From the house to the creek and beyond.
I think this is my favorite photo though. I love the water tank in the background. Just wish I had mowed around it last fall.
For the first time, I am participating in Mosaic Monday at Letting Go of the Bay Leaf where photos can be of just about anything.

Wow! Love the blue bonnets. I've always wanted to be in Texas, UK, or where ever they grow in the spring. Beautiful

ReplyDeleteHow beautiful! I lived in Texas for many years and miss those blooms! The fields are always covered in the Spring! You got some wonderful photos for MM!
ReplyDeleteMarti - well, if you're going to join in Mosaic Monday, you might as well do it with a BANG! Mission accomplished. I am so grateful that you have preserved this field for wildflowers (not weeds!) A view like this stirs up deep emotions for me - an almost patriotic fervor. Welcome to our little community - so glad you linked up!
ReplyDeleteA beautiful combination of colours. - Margy

Beautiful photos. That's one thing I really miss about Texas is the bluebonnets and Indian Paint Brush in the spring.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful! We don't have those here and I never understood why people loved them. Now I understand the excitement.

I love your photos of your bluebonnets! We had them in Texas and I'd love when they bloomed each year. I don't think I'd have the heart to mow them either!
