A couple of posts back there was the comparison of wildflowers versus hayfields. Here's a picture to illustrate that struggle, newly seeded...

One more trek today....same Lake Buchannan area...different look
First 2 pics are actually breaktime near Cherokee off of FM501
Next pic with old house is at Baby Head on CR226 off of 16
Last pic with endless yellow was on CR216
Jus after I got bac on the bike....the view got much much better...with the yellow carpet under the trees as far as I could see from the road.
The endless bluebonnets on CR225 at Lake Buchannan at Island Ln werent as endless as before....still there...jus not as dramatic a view.
No pics of those. Shoulda stopped for pics last time we were there. Oh well
The image is with me.

Things are already blooming over here by Huntsville, Red Bud Trees and all the trees that have white flowers on them. Lots of wild flowers are popping up as well. Over by my Mom's place there is some kind of vine that grows on fences and small trees that has small bright yellow flowers on it. It is blooming like crazy. Haven't seen any Morning Glory yet. Still no Blue Bonnets or Indian Paint Brushes. Some of the bulb type flowers like tulips and others are blooming though.

They're getting going in Washington county, but they're half a month behind usual. Have to see if we get a full bloom before it gets too hot.

I'll probably head toward Marble Falls and Willow City Loop, among other areas, next week in search of some photographic opportunities of the wildflower nature. Either Monday or Chewsday.

I wouldnt get too hopped up about seeing lotsa flowers in those areas due to the extreme drought theyve had goin on. But do check the low water areas around Lake Buchannan. Lotsa bluebonnets & other flowers there last year.

Bluebonnets are nice around Anderson, Tx., especially along some of the county roads South of town.

I spent a long day meandering thru the Hill Country today. The Blue Bonnet's were disappointing to say the least.
I notices on today's rise to the lunch with my wife, the flowers are starting to increase
The yellow cow patty flowers are starting to come up. Saw this when I rode through the yard to put the bike back in the shop
