Back Home

Lynda and I are back home in Forrest City, but we still think of the fantastic bluebonnets that we saw through out central Texas and beyond. The area must have had rain at the correct times and we were lucky enough to be present at the peak of the bluebonnets.

Some of the highways had bluebonnets and other wildflowers blooming along the sides for miles.

We took some county roads (thanks to the columns from the San Angelo Standard Times that were published on their web site) that allowed us a chance to go slower and even stop at times and take photos.

The county roads (back roads) were interesting for the most part.

The yellow flowers were also abundant in places.

Blubonnet Visit

The bluebonnets this year are lovely. We have seen more on this trip than ever before. And, I believe we came at the right time.

Tulip Time

We took a day along with Mike and Betty on Friday to visit the Garvan Woodland Gardens near Hot Springs. The last time that we had gone to see the tulips we were a little late and got to see the tail end of the blossoms. This time we were more fortunate--we saw lots of lovely tulips.
