Bluebonnets! It's springtime in Texas and its state flower, the bluebonnet, is in full bloom. The vibrant blooms cover the hillsides and the fields making even the most tedious commute more pleasant. The blue carpeted fields next to the roads and highways are Texans' pride. People flock with their cameras in hand to take annual family pictures among the blossoms - a ritual throughout the vast state. I want to thank my friend, Sarah Benson, for the lovely pictures she sent to me while on her recent trek to Austin. She knows I will miss this sight this year since we won't be going to Texas until May and the majority of the bluebonnets will be gone. So, thank you, Sarah!
