It's a little early for wildflowers in Texas, but there are pockets of good color here and there. We're currently staying the week near San Antonio after hitting the Rio Grande Valley earlier for the NANPA Summit. Posted a few images of the birds down there on the blog, but thought I'd show off our little Foxie in a bed of (I believe) Drummond Phlox.
From front to back, Texas Paintbrush, Bluebonnets, what appears to be Missouri Primrose and more Texas Paintbrush and primrose. There is a good Web site for Texas wildflowers here: http://www.texaswildflowerpictures.com/.

Ditto what Todd said........
Yes, wildflowers are happening in Texas. Our trees have been green for a few weeks now and wildflowers are popping up. Saw my first bluebonnets near Brenham last week and my first in Cowtown on Saturday.
Its been a dry winter here so not much hope for a megabloom but wildflowers will happen that should still be nice.
...and one final one for the bird-lovers - a green jay, taken from a blind at the Martin Reserve, near McAllen, TX. Captured with a Canon 1D Mk2, 600mm with 1.4X teleconverter and a Better Beamer fill flash.
