I have traveled most of Texas hunting wildflowers over the past 15-20 years but yesterday I found the biggest and densest field of paintbrush I have ever seen near Poteet. This field stretched several hundred yards in every direction and seemed to be packed solid from end to end. Texas, it's a whole nuther country y'all! >=))>

That looks simply surreal, would love to see this with my own eyes! You did a great job in capturing this. The foreground nicely shows the details of these flowers while to upper part shows the vastness of this flower field.

This is gorgeous! Nice detail in the FG, and sweeping curves in the BG.
Great color, so different from the dull browns and grays around me.

WOW! That is amazing. Made me think of the poppies in Wizard of Oz. What a sight this must be.

Spectacular, Bill ! Don't really know what to add, except that this perspective and all the detail are pure delights for the eye.
