I went out on Monday to the Hill Country (Mason, Llano, Fredericksburg) and was amazed at the beauty and abundance of all the wildflowers. Thanks for looking. More can be seen here:

Wow! How cool is that! I've never seen them that thick. But I've never been to Texas hill country either. Are they usually this thick? Would love to see that someday. Reminds me of the red clover we have here in Arkansas. I love the low perspective Justin. Nice job!

The hill country is looking nice. Gotta love spring in Texas!

BTW, Karla, what you see here is nothing. Some areas are hundreds of acres in size and all through the pastures and not just the roadsides.

Darren,

Thanks for looking and commenting! This is my first year to really experience the wildflowers of the Hill Country and from what I'm hearing this is the best bloom in as many as 25 years. It's pretty unbelievable out there.

Yep, its a nice bloom here too. Right combo of rain and temps this winter.
