SCAVENGER HUNT - SEASONAL

Fort Worth

Bluebonnets are the Texas State Flower and only bloom for a little while in the Spring. I thought it was fitting with the word seasonal since this is what I think of first when I think of Spring.

The only fields of bluebonnets I could find were along the highways until I started downtown. There next to a Foam Factory was this field. I had to stop. It was actually the prettiest one I could find. Not enough rain this year for the huge fields to bloom so you gotta get what you can get.

At least you got bloom, I tried a little patch of no snow in my garden, the ground is still frozen solid. :( Vµ

Beautiful field of blue flowers. I like the location. The color is repeated in the building's name and the red is a nice complementary color. Wonderfully photographed.

Very, very pretty. I have a few blooming, too, and I dare the highway department to mow them down again this year.

The state colours too!

Beautiful!! Tom and I are going to the Hill Country next weekend. I've heard the drought has really slowed down the blooms, but we are hopeful to find patches here and there. BV
