Ladybird's Legacy




Click on the photos for a closer view!

Recently I had my first opportunity to see the legendary Texas roadside wildflowers. My feeble pictures don't begin to do them justice. To the side of the interstate highways are immense swathes of purple (bluebonnets) punctuated with orange (Indian paintbrush) and bits of pink and yellow from other blossoms.

In our region, we're starting to get some cactus flowers. But the central and east Texas roadsides (these pictures were taken between Houston and San Antonio) are in their full glory.
