Home, Texas

On a recent trip back to Texas to visit family, I made the obligatory pull-over-on-the-side-of-the-road-and-sit-in-the-Bluebonnets move. It was lovely. The last few times I've visited central Texas during the Spring the Bluebonnets have been few and far between because of a drought. This year they are back in full force, blanketing open fields along the highway, spotted with coral patches of Indian Paintbrushes. The never-ending blue skies and crisp air over these red, white, blue and green fields gave me a pleasant taste of Spring in Texas.
