Bluebonnet Excursion
Today Paige and I decided the weather was too beautiful to stay inside, so we ventured down to Ennis to scout out the bluebonnets (for you non-Texans, that's the state flower of Texas). It kind of reminded me of my weekend photography and sight-seeing excursions in Scotland.
After a few mishaps with missed roads and wrong turns (because we decided to take the "scenic" route and avoid the highways), we finally made it to Ennis. We took a picnic with us, and enjoyed our lunch by the lake with full fields of bluebonnets in view. Most of the fields around Ennis weren't all in full bloom yet, but this particular area was beautiful. Tons of bluebonnets, with the occasional Indian Paintbrush and Buttercups mixed in. With a nearly cloudless sky, brilliant sunshine, and a lovely breeze, we couldn't have asked for a better way to spend the day.

Anyway, I just wanted to say that I loved your pictures. You have quite an eye for photography. I admire this skill, because I am totally devoid of it!
