Picture of the Day - 3/18/2011

Texas Wildflowers - Sheila and I are visiting her sister, Kerry, near San Antonio for the next week. One thing I was hoping for was that we would be in time for at least the first blooms of Texas wildflowers and we weren't disappointed. Texas Hill Country" west of Austin (primarily). There are nice pockets of flowers here and there, despite the fact we're a little further south than the prime areas. I took this picture in a vacant lot southeast of San Antonio, but there were nice areas along both sides of the road. Most of the flowers are Texas Paintbrush with some unidentified pink and yellow flowers. There is a good Web site for Texas wildflowers here: http://www.texaswildflowerpictures.com/
