Texas Bluebonnets

This is my first Blue Monday post ever. The first thing that came to mind - Texas Bluebonnets.
These photos were taken in Brenham last April when my daughter and I were driving out to Austin on Highway 290. We had the babies with us - our two shih tzus - Barnum and Bailey, and couldn't resist pulling over and getting out of the car to check out this beautiful field of wild flowers. There were quite a few people who had also stopped, so the challenge was to get a photo without other people in the frame.
Happy Monday!
