Texas bluebonnets
As some of the others have said, bluebonnets are out in force this year. Nice winter rains are making the wildflowers put on a great spring display.

Here is one with a pale bluebonnet mixed into a field of traditional blue. See more on my blog.

And a close up of a bee that was calmly buzzing around the area and having a feast.

Great shots, Darren! Looks like a banner year for bluebonnets. I'm wondering if you ever see any indian paintbrush mixed with the bluebonnets...

Really nice on both counts Darren. The detail in the bee is quite good. Thanks for sharing.

Nice Darren, the bee shot is my favorite.
