After a rough drought season for the state of Texas, we've been blessed by much winter and spring rain, enough to produce the beautiful array of bluebonnets, paintbrushes, and a colorful palette of other little flowers sprinkled across fields and along roadsides. A Texas springtime tradition is to take pictures in a field of bluebonnets, so I was determined to get pictures of Elisabeth in the flowers. Through some people we met in a park, we learned of a spot nearby which has good bluebonnet photo opportunities. The next week we went, somewhat spontaneously, and had a great time taking pictures. Elisabeth
really wanted to pick them, so we tried to help her understand she could only have the flowers that were already on the ground. I haven't taken the time to actually look it up, but I've heard that it's technically against the law to pick bluebonnets, the state flower. Any fellow Texans know if this is true? Below are some of our shots from the first Ross bluebonnet adventure!

and, nope, it's not against the law to pick them...just make sure you aren't on private property :)
