Bluebonnets! FINALLY!

Oh. My. Goodness. My mom took me to the post office on Friday (the 5th) because I wanted to take pictures of the city reknown bluebonnet patch next to it, and we needed to mail something, and I got a lot of neat pictures.  My mom even snapped some with her iphone for the instas.  But anyways, back to the pictures.

So, I took them on Friday, then I went to the fair that night with a friend that was visiting from out of town, then the next day I went with the same friend to a baseball game, then on Sunday I went to a movie and had my friend spend the night, and I'm not really sure why I didn't blog on Monday.  I guess I could have.... But then Tuesday I went to the fair again and Wednesday I got sick.  So, all of that for this point alone, I was pretty busy.  Some would say extremely.  That is why I haven't blogged.

But, at long last, here are the pictures.  At least, some of the pictures.

I love, love LOVE these next two pictures! I love the bees with the little piles of pollen on them!  It's do cute!  Gah, gets me everytime!






So, me and my momma were just walking around the large patch, and there was this baby pine tree with bluebonnets all crowded around its base, and I was  just like, "This. Is. Texas." It was just the epitome of Texas. Well, at least the part of Texas that I live in.  Its a huge state... Anyways, these are the pics.  Of Texas, basically.



Okay, so these aren't really bluebonnets, but, they are wildflowers, so it counts, right?


 The classic boots-in-the-wildflowers picture :P


So, we try to not step on the wildflowers and all, because, we want them to reseed and come back next year; however, this obviously was not the case with the easter picture takers.  There would be large patches of flattened stalks of flowers where it was obvious that people had sat their kids down and taken pictures in the flowers.  This would normally be fine, but it was everywhere!

I just don't get it. I just don't. So, to prove my point, here is a row of bluebonnets amidst the smashed stalks. 


I like this next one because it just goes to show that they really are wildflowers.  They were growing next to the sidewalk, a ways away from their relatives.



Thanks for reading! Have a good rest of the week/month/year/life.... :)

Sorry about the wildflowers...

Hey guys! I took pictures of the beautiful bluebonnets down here in Texas and didn't post them for about a week. And now, unfortunately, I am sick. So, y'all will have to wait even longer. Sorry! I really want to post them but now I actually can't. Oops. Thanks for reading! Hoping to post in the next week!

Spring Has Sprung!

In case y'all didn't know, today is the first day of Spring! Isn't that happy? I even bought new shorts today!!! I love the warmer weather. But not so much the triple digit weather... and I know it's coming... But, for now at least, it is perfect weather for going outside and taking picture. Because it's Spring. Not Summer. Yet.

Anyways, I just took these photos -- fresh off the memory card -- so I hope you'll enjoy looking at them as much as I enjoyed taking them!

Azaleas



Redbuds



Wysteria-s



As many Texans know, Spring come with a catch -- Pollen.  I am not allergic to the green/yellow snow, but everyone else that I know, pretty much, is. :)



That's it for today! Happy Spring and Easter to all of y'all!!!!

Surprise!


 This is an extremely belated surprise, but a surprise nonetheless.  I got my camera for Christmas!!! I still have to pay for soe of it, but defineitly not as much as I would have had to.  I haven't, sadly, taken many pictures with it, but the other day it was very rainy and so after the rain stopped, I went out tok some pictures of the flowers with cute little water dropplets on them. :)  I hope you enjoy these photos!!!



Our azaleas are crazy and decided to bloom early this year, but that's okay.  I forgive them. :)



And farther away...


Hope you enjoyed it! Thanks for reading!
