Texas photos for SKScreamer

I can take credit for the lady bug bowling ball, however. My creation!

Red leaf/vine looks to be Virginia creeper. The yellow tree/leaves looks like sassafras.

Ah, summertime. My time of the year. Here's one of my favorite Texas summer pictures (from 2011):

Oh no you don't! I like this picture from Texas 2011 better!

Dogwoods are blooming in ETX. I'll try to get you some photos soon SS. Bluebonnets shouldn't be too far behind. If anyone further west than me can get some Indian Pantbrush that'd be awesome.

Nope I wouldn't be sampling them either without knowing. I remember my father talking bout collecting mushrooms along many of the country roads here back when there were more horses than cars. My father-in-law also had an area of the farm that still produced them many years after their last horse was long gone.

Looking so forward to seeing your 2014 bluebonnets, dogwoods and anything else that survived your many freezes!

Bluebonnets were all over the sides of Brays Bayou along the bike trail yesterday.

[SaskatchewanScreamer]

Thank you!

The last one was pretty neat, it was right next to a pine tree so I was able to get a pine cone and dogwood blooms in the same shot.

Tons of flowers are blooming. I'll try to get some shots of some bluebonnets in a couple of days.

Oh Ravryn they are gorgeous! And so nice to see that you have green leaves and grass there!

Thank you ever so much for sharing them with me!

(sorry for taking so long to notice that they were up )

Apologies for not getting around on delivering some of the beautiful patches of Bluebonnets this year. Here is my cry for redemption.


The most wondrous field of Indian Paintbrush I've ever seen!


And some East Texas wildflowers I picked up on the side of a country road on my way to my mom's.
Red Clover, Flax, Indian Paintbrush, and not sure on the other two.

Oh Ravryn they are lovely!!! Thank you!!!

Funny you should post those as I was just reading a week or so ago, in a Texas thread, about all the lovely wildflowers that are blooming along the highways there now (poster talked about Lady Bird Johnson (?) and her wish to see them everywhere in Texas). They didn't post pics of them however so I'm tickled pink to see yours!
