Important Announcement

This is probably of interest to just a few of you, mainly
on the northside of SA, but I thought it was worth mentioning
that the bluebonnets have started coming up around here.
I appreciated the efficient braking of my little Honda Prelude
as I screeched to a halt to catch this photo.
I saw two small patches on both sides of Loop 1604 between
Babcock and Hausmann, right next to the access roads.

Yay! Glad to hear it. I just read a story at the Houstonist that it is not going to be a good season. At least there is hope.

Here's the story:

Thanks, M.
Couldn't have done it without the 'twist', but it also helps to have the CP filter already mounted and the good sense to just jam the cam up to every likely bloom and fire off a few as fast as possible in 'macro'.
Composition was all about waiting for the SUVs to clear the background, then picking and choosing from the results.
Just like the "Old Masters".

Sadly, this year's crop of Texas wildflowers is probably going to suck.
Not enough winter rain.
Sorry, Laurie.
