A Day among the Wildflowers

We took a day to drive through Gillespie and Mason Counties, northwest of us to seek out more  wildflowers during this extraordinary year for blossoms.  We were so delighted with the display, for mile after mile.

Sometimes it was a spread of bluebonnets that caught our eye, and sometimes it was the magic of a single flower.

Sometimes the joy comes from the combination of colors provided by the various varieties.

When you find a spot with plein air painters working busily, you know you have a great spot for viewing nature's splendors.

The pictures give an idea of what the scenes were like, but what they cannot communicate is the fragrance.  When we got out of the car to wander around this field, the fragrance was overpowering--not sickly sweet, just delicious.

Since we were gone all day, and the weather was mild, we took Sammy along for the ride.  As you can see, he enjoyed the flowers as well!
