The Bluebonnets were fabulous as always but are pretty much died off by
now as the weather hits the high 80's and low 90's this week, but there
are tons of other wildflowers currently taking their place. :-)

All that rain we had this winter has been lovely for the hill country.
Cactus should be blooming soon and I'm going to have to pay closer
attention and get some snapshots this year. Cactus blooms are
spectacular.
