South Texas Wildflowers are arriving...

We spent our Sunday morning with Mom and Dad at the ranch. We so look forward to this time with them. I wasn't planning on taking photos, it's dreary out and I just didn't feel like getting the camera out. But Michael came in the house and insisted on taking me for a ride on the 4x4 mule, him driving of course! We didn't have much time as Fred got called into work so Michael took me for a short ride and had me bring the camera. When we got back to the ranch house I spotted some wildflowers and couldn't help myself. I had to have photos! I know the wildflowers are coming up but I didn't think there would be many blooming as of yet! Once again I was wrong, there were quiet a few blooming!

I used the Sigma 70-300 mm lens and with the wind blowing had a rough time getting clear shots. Ah well there will be plenty of time to get the Macro lens out...Just wanted y'all to see God's beauty on a (what I call) Spring day in South Texas.

(I also want you to know I have gotten my (5 at last count) Texas wildflower books out. I try to identify these correctly but at times I may be wrong. All the books are different and some books have different names for the same flower. Please forgive me for any errors, I'm not perfect.)

Next time I hope to have more time and less wind to try for better and clearer photos,

Enjoy your Sunday!
