Texas Wildflowers 2010, Part 2

My family and I spent three nights camping in Pedernales Falls State Park in the Texas Hill Country just after Easter weekend.

The wildflowers were great all the way from Houston to the park. Inside the park, however, there weren't too many. But I did find a nice patch of yellow near the banks of the Pedernales River.

I have other photos of the Pedernales River and also Bee Creek (a tributary) sans wildflowers. I'll get these up in a few days.

Texas Wildflowers 2010, Part 1

The spring wildflowers are peaking here in the coastal plains of Texas. This is the first post of several (hopefully) covering my outings to shoot the flowers.

Last week Jeff and I spent a late afternoon and evening messing around the Brenham area.

The skies were excellent for a while, but it was quite windy. It clouded-up just before sunset.

The flowers are great this year in some spots. You just have to get out and explore the backroads :-)
