Dedicated to Svetlana

     Yesterday, Robert and I took our Sunday drive and this time our target was the annual shoot for spring flowers.   Robert is the driver, navigator and pointer on all of our jaunts out to the country roads.  What a wonderful drive that was!  We not only found bluebonnets galore, but some other scenes that were even more special and visually exciting. 
     We found spring everywhere in all it's shades of green and freshness.  The day was typically windy and there were masses of rain clouds overhead with the sun peeking out every now and then.   I felt the sprinkles, as I would jump out of the truck to capture that must have picture, but a few drops of water did not dampen our efforts to collect our gallery of pictures.
     I would like to say that these fabulous pictures were mostly taken in Mound, Texas. This is no longer a town, but a community that keeps watch of the beautiful verdant rolling hills and the country roads that seem to unfurl into all those special spaces that only God can create. 
.  Eventhough the day was blustery, with the wind gusting at my back, I enjoyed the sights, fragance and the quiet of these country spaces.  As you can see from the pictures there is a solemn richness to the colors and the light of spring. So I hope that you will take the time to look around you as you drive the roads of Texas or anywhere you might be and enjoy this scenic and special time of rebirth.
