Bluebonnet Blues

As I was looking through some photos of past Spring Breaks, I realized that I am missing the blooming of the bluebonnets this year in Texas.  The desert in Arizona is starting to bloom, and I have begun to take some pics, but I am waiting until the palo verde and ocotillo bloom (and maybe the saguaro too) until I post the photos.  In the meantime, I will leave you with these images I took three years ago in the Texas Hill Country around Doss, Texas:

"On a cold winter night

'Neath the silver moon

I wished on a star

Had a dream about you

Dry the tears from your eyes

I'll be coming home soon

'Neath the wide open skies

Where the bluebonnets bloom

Like a blanket spreadin' out as far as I can see

When those flowers line the road

You can look for me

I'll be hangin' round your back door

Like an old familiar toon

I'll be there when the bluebonnets bloom"
