On Easter weekend we took a drive to spend the holiday at Byron's parents. The views on the way there were stunning. Huge patches as far as the eye could see of vibrant blues, pinks, and yellows. Oh wildflowers I'm loving your bold display. I've always wanted to fly over, or better yet, visit Holland during tulip season and taking this drive made me think of what that must be like. I love looking at aerial photos of the patchwork colors covering what seems like miles of acres. So beautiful.
Of course, we pulled over. And of course we made Beatrix pose. Afterall, she's a little Texan. And that's what Texan children do in the springtime. They sit pretty in fields of the adored bluebonnets. Want to know the truth though? I'm not entirely satisfied with the photos. It was midday and shadows were cast on her face. Grumph...I've considered trampling through another patch of flowers, however, since then, our weekends have been rainy! Oh the horror! I might just have to make peace with the turnout of this little photo shoot after all.
