When I went to Texas for the Solar Eclipse. I was aware that the weather might block the Eclipse, but I wasn't deterred since the Solar Eclipse gave me an excuse to finally get to Texas and photograph the Texas Bluebonnets. I have been wanting to capture them for at least 20 years, maybe 25 years. So to finally get to see them in person was so exciting that I wasn't bothered if the Eclipse ended up getting clouded over. As it was I still was able to see the eclipse, and I got the flowers! It was Win/Win.
I spend time driving down lot's of side roads past lot's of ranches in Southern Texas. I think I was about 100 miles NW of San Antonio. I did lot's of driving and stopping and driving and stopping as the flowers, and not just Bluebonnets are everywhere. I am already thinking I need to make a return trip next year.
This one was an old road I spotted while driving down another old road. I had to make a U-Turn to go back to it as I spotted it in an opening between some trees while driving. I think it was worth it.

PS. There are Texas Bluebonnets and also I believe Eastern Groundsel (Yellow flowers)
