Texas wildflowers

The wildflowers are beautiful in the Brenham area. Our drive today took us from Bryan to Columbus and I went down the back roads. The bluebonnets and indian paint brush are glorious. Well worth a drive down Highway 50 or 109 to see them.

I wish I had a camera with me so some pictures could be posted, but I didn't remember.

Spring

Today was a nice day for a drive across Texas. The sun is shining and the temperatures are in the low 80's.

I drove from San Angelo to College Station across the center of the state. Spring has been kind. Everywhere is green. The wildflowers are scarce until you get East of Austin. The fall and winter were to dry to produce many flowers.

Tomorrow I will be traveling across the original settlement areas of Texas; Brazos, Washington and Austin Counties. This is part of the area settled with the first land grants. The wildflowers should be more prolific in that area of the state.
