One morning, driving home, I happened to notice a section of land just off the interstate that was filled with color! In the Spring, you know bluebonnets from a long distance...the wild grasses on the interstate inclines are a smoky gray. The closer you get, the bluer the flowers are. Then, driving further, more smoky gray, and more bluebonnets. Well, this section had a tremendous amount, I caught the colors long before I approached the section of land. But it was different. Yes, the bluebonnets...but more were among those....INDIAN PAINT BRUSH! The traffic was heavy so I thought best to not pull over and cause a multi-car accident. And I was beyond the correct exit to get up on the frontage road to park and safely walk down the hill. I made a point of looking in the rear-view mirror to get my standing of where to come back to get some photos. The next morning, early, I headed out. Pulled off the exit, took the overpass to go the opposite direction to the spot, and then pulled off THAT exit and turned. On this side of the interstate, there was/is a large hotel complex. Aha!!! I pulled in there, and parked out of harm's way. I then walked across the exit ramp and gingerly walked down the incline. This is what I saw for my efforts!!! I hope you like 'em.....
...at least ONE big plus came from all the rains beginning back in September thru February!!!!! The air is drying up [the weatherman is telling us that our rainfall for the year is 2 inches behind...I'm not complaining!!!!!] We still have a high water table, with pools of water here and there. I'm so ready for some dryness for a change....even tho, it's probably NOT a GOOD thing.
