Here in the S.E. of Pennsylvania after what seems like weeks of gray skys as we are heading into winter and the browns and blacks it will bring, I wanted to post today something a little brighter.
These bluebonnets were photographed in a field nearby where we lived in Texas back in the mid 1990's. The spectacle when they were in bloom was nothing short of wonderful and was a feast to the eyes in the mostly monochromatic landscape. Although they are a native plant, we can thank Ladybird Johnson for making this annual show even more widespread as she as First Lady, convinced the State of Texas to seed this pretty flower along highways, fields and public areas throughout the state.
