Tiptoe Through The . . . Bluebonnets

I told myself as the kids were growing up that I was not going to be one of those parents that stopped on the side of the road to take pictures of the kids when the bluebonnets were in bloom. As most of you know, this seems to be an Easter tradition in Texas. I never did do it with the kids, but I'm a grandma now and I can take things back. Especially since the bluebonnets this year are abundant and gorgeous. There is a field of them by my office that is large and thick with the flowers. Sara and I decided that we would get some pictures of Cami in the bluebonnets, so here they are.

The first picture is a shot of just a portion of the field. It is at least twice the size of what you can see in the picture.

By the way, did you know that from the time I arrived in Texas, I was told that it was illegal to pick bluebonnets. I found out last week that that is untrue. It is, of course, illegal to pick them from private property and that some cities and counties do have their own 'laws', however it is not a Texas law. Nice to know after 27 years here.
