Texans seem to take this seriously. I read countless articles about how the early spring heat were causing the state flower, bluebonnet, to bloom to early, thus possibly affecting events and tourism. I didn't understand why it was such a big deal. One morning I was surprised by my breathlessness. I was on my way to the east side and was approaching the on ramp to Wurzbach parkway. To my right was startled by the deer--and the bluebonnets. And I couldn't stop thinking about that moment.
Caught up in the hype, I excitedly told Naysia we HAD to find a field of bluebonnets. That weekend we were going to take a small road trip to Hill Country for the money shot, and started out on Wurzbach again. I made a u-turn at West Ave and then turned right into a very small parking lot off Wurzbach that really isn't a lot at all.
Before us was a small pond, Panther Springs Creek and a lovely field of bluebonnets! We were hooked!! Over the course of 3 days we went back everyday for pictures and adoration. I believe the height of the season is over, and although we never made it to Hill Country to have the full experience I can see why folks look forward to this time of year. It truly is a sight to behold.
